Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that a heroic Jewish bystander saved Jewish lives during the Bondi Beach massacre by tackling one of the gunmen. In fact, the man who made the heroic intervention is a Muslim of Levantine descent who was shot twice in the process.

Ahmed El Ahmed, from Idlib in Syria according to a relative, went up unarmed against one of the attackers, wrested his gun away and turned it on the terrorist, forcing him to flee, as footage shown by Al Jazeera demonstrates…

    Fuck off lol. The guy disarmed an active shooter for several minutes. Saving lives and letting people flee.

      I don’t know.

      He could probably get sued in America by people who the shooter hurt after the event…

      I’m just spiting balls here. Doesn’t mean I mean it. There is something to it though, just enough…

      The man is a hero sure.

        We collectively agree (in principle at least) to give a monopoly on violence to a police force so that assholes don’t run around shooting whoever they think is a bad guy.

        Judge Dredd is a fucking dystopia, pay attention.

          Probably this sounded way cooler and made much more sense in your head than it does now that’s out 😀

            Nah, I stand by that. Watch the video. The hero probably survived by not becoming another shooter, don’t trust cops not to overreact.

            Also if he had it would have been a vigilante shooting at that point.

              I still don’t know what you mean with anything you’ve said. Except the last part that cops might have shot him. But on the other hand two civilians actually got to the downed shooters before police. One was even mistakingly taken as a shooter and there was quite a mix-up there at the end. Still, police didn’t shoot.

              The guy could have knock the guy in the head out something.

        I’ve never heard the term spitting balls.

        In this context I could see the use of the term spitballing. But maybe the former works too?
