From what I gather, this sounds like a man who had lost just about everything dear to him and just snapped. Figured he'd take it out at the royal family. Today's the kind of day you know you can get close to them, and it doesn't seem like he was bothered much with what would happen afterwards.
A bit like the Iraqi shoethrower, perhaps: a lot of resentment is built up, he needs an outlet, an opportunity presents itself and he takes it. The whole thing is terrible, unbelievable. Watching that car go by and those people slide by, it makes me feel the same way I felt when I saw the second plane hit on 9/11. It's something you just can't fully grasp, the why's and how's. A tough day for everyone. ![]() |

I am with DM on this, BTW he died last night (the one that caused this drama) [thumbdown][no] Sadly in this case I guess we'll never find out WHY he did what he did. |

I don't normally advocate the death penalty, I am in fact completely against it. But if anyone deserved to die, it would be this guy. What a waste, the guy plowed through a crowd and killed 5(?) people to do what, give the Queen whiplash? This is one of those things that just makes me mad enough to spit.

You say it as if we should feel sympathy for the *******. You can hype it up all you want, but he is a cold blooded murderer. Because of his in ability to deal with his problems, he destroyed the lives of several other families. Likewise, I feel very sad for the people who were the first on the spot to perform CPR / treat injuries / look after the people who were lying on the street. When I see the videos and imagine they're desperately trying to help people who were going to die or were already dead, on a day like Queensday, that just breaks my heart. |

Surprised at the car he used... I'm not sure what he was expecting to accomplish with a Suzuki Swift if he had managed to hit the bus. Horrible thing ![]() |

I don't believe he's a cold blooded murderer in the sense he just plowed through dozens of people for the kick of it. I'm guessing this was a very broken man. No, that doesn't make it right and that doesn't make it any better. I'm just trying to understand what would drive someone to make a desperate attempt like this, and I think that's a better approach to it than to just call him all sorts of things and be done with it. I understand your reaction and I agree he deserves every bit of resentment - really, I do. But that's just not my main concern.
