ScottMorrisonMP But but but mass shootings don’t happen in Australia because ThEy HAvE sUcH gOod gUn cOnTrOl
Hey Sky news. The breaking news banner was rightfully used last night as the news was happening. To use it 12 hours later is not correct. Breaking news means news happening now not 12 hours later.
ScottMorrisonMP I guess such quick conlusions because the perpetrator was Anglo and not with a Muslim sounding name? Any murderer is motivated by something. It could be warped religious beliefs or not. The victim doesn't feel any less terror because of terrorist's motivator.
ScottMorrisonMP Thought guns were banned in Australia. How is this possible?

ScottMorrisonMP But but, you took the guns away! This shouldn't happen!
ScottMorrisonMP Wait, if it happens in Australia it's not Gun Violence, it's a terrible act of Violence. If it happens in America it's Gun Violence....
ScottMorrisonMP But guns are illegal? How did a shooting happen
ScottMorrisonMP Scomo should ask the suspect what he thinks about John Howard's National Firearms Agreement
ScottMorrisonMP Very sad, but still here just waiting for the Americans to show up in the comments
ScottMorrisonMP He’s been in an outlaw motorcycle gang do probably a Union member and Australian Labor / Greens voter. Violent thugs they are !
ScottMorrisonMP It’s obviously a Muslim or they would have released his name
ScottMorrisonMP Police say not terrorism so that means it was a white non Muslim
ScottMorrisonMP Domestic terrorism
ScottMorrisonMP Offering condolences doesn't fix the problems that lead to these psycho , wholesale murder scenes.
ScottMorrisonMP Love how our tax $ is spent on locking criminals up like dogs instead of actually trying to rehabilitate them so they're not released on parole to commit crimes like this. Stick to your investment properties & taking care of rich white Aussies ScoMo. Straya
ScottMorrisonMP At some point, does it matter if the murderer was trying to instill terror in one person or more? You pull a gun you are terrorizing somebody, just sayin.
ScottMorrisonMP Not terror related? Or not Islamic related? So killing ppl is not terror! Confused 🤔
ScottMorrisonMP Terrible act of domestic terrorism.
ScottMorrisonMP Nice enrichment from white terrorist?
ScottMorrisonMP Not terrorism, DenisPrager in an article today may provide some perspective on ‘societal’ expectations for magistrates and judges who consider leniency or remission of jail time, sobering thoughts:
ScottMorrisonMP Islamic shooter terrorist
ScottMorrisonMP It was an Islamic terrorist attack against people he never knew. Admit it.
ScottMorrisonMP G the media don't like the truth about it being a terrorist do they.
ScottMorrisonMP THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS....
