Just love the sensationalist vocabulary used in some of these news stories

Not a terrorist...except if he was white...then he’d be an ‘alt right terrorist white supremest’ ...if he killed a Muslim, Kristina Keneally would probably be on TV in a burka ...MSM are fake news.

And...what was he yelling out ? ....and his motive associated with his religion ?

Has there been a study on the correlation between knife wielding murderers who yell out, “Allahu Akbar!” and serious mental health problems? Seems to be trending in Islam these days.

Cut that crap! A mental patient?

Pretty stoked we don’t have Walmart’s he could’ve just wandered into and bought a gun!!! guncontrol

Are you saying “Not all Men”? :)

johnjoechad What is CBD ?

Just another criminal junkie

doesn't sound like your typical Aussie name..likely an immigrant by sounds...

Here we go ...the cover up begins...another escaped mentally illness patient and not a Islamic terrorist. 🙄

He’s on record saying ‘Allah Akbar’ ffs, lets call it as it is. And being a Muslim, obviously has mental issues

😂😂😂😂😂

What a load of crap. It is a Muslim terrorist.

Mental health he is a Muslim terrorist BanIslam
