Here’s one that got my teeth chattering with rage:
The man who has become the face of the many brave deeds by everyday Australians during the Bondi Beach attack has revealed why he didn’t shoot back at the gunmen.
Ahmed Al Ahmed, 43, skyrocketed to worldwide fame after he risked his life when he wrestled a firearm from mass shooter Sajid Akram on December 14.
Police alleged Sajid and his son, Naveed Akram, opened fire on a Jewish festival celebrating the first night of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach.
Police fatally shot Sajid and wounded Naveed, bringing an end to the horrific attack, but not before 15 innocent people had been gunned down and dozens more injured.
At one point during the attack, Mr Ahmed snatched a gun from Sajid and pointed it back at him. He refused to shoot, despite having been shot five times himself.
Wait: you disarm a guy who’s been shooting and killing total strangers, and instead of shooting the bastard dead with his own gun, you… let him go?
While in New York he was asked why he didn’t shoot when he had the weapon pointed at the gunman.
Yeah, I was kinda wondering that myself.
He said he didn’t pull the trigger because he was not seeking revenge.
‘I didn’t shoot him because I was doing it as humility, to stop him to kill more innocent human beings,’ he said, adding that he was also not concerned for his safety, but rather the people at the beach.
I hate to say this, you absolute schmuck, but letting him go simply allowed him to get another gun and shoot more people.
Your self-righteous “humility” came at the expense of more victims.
Let me tell you: a guy shoots me half a dozen times or whatever, I somehow survive and get hold of his (still-loaded) gun… guess what happens next?
If you guessed “the asshole’s brains are suddenly exposed to the open air and parts thereof become fertilizer for the lawn he’s standing on”, get a gold star and collect your prize at the door on the way out.
“Oh no, I’m too good for revenge” my aching African-America ass.
I need to stop now before I get really upset.
