hmmm. well it's certainly a very big deal for the people he plowed into and their families. It's a bother for all of us but I'm not sure that that's what you mean.
So far on the news here, as is normal, we don't know the ethnicity of the man involved. We have been told by the police that it is not terrorism related, that they have arrested the man and are not looking for anybody else. They say he has drug issues and mental health issues and had been arrested for those only a week ago. Ah, now we're hearing he has a long history of family violence. There's clear enough footage of him driving the car to see he is an Arab. And we are told that he had come to the attention of the police a few days before - that sounds terrorism related.
I'd like to know more before making much comment.
But I will say I think it's a grey area, a which came first the chicken or the egg, the religious sentiment or the mental instability - like the man who took hostage the Lindt Cafe a couple of years ago, he too had been arrested just shortly beforehand, he too was known to have mental health issues.
So yes the muslim religion with it's praise for suicidal violence doesn't seem like a good idea, does it.
