In reply to the discussion: Jewish schools on alert after eight men threaten to cut schoolchildren’s throats (Australia) [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)I fault the bus driver from the statements made at the link, also the police who seem to be willing to give him a pass. but perhaps the CCTV didn't record all that happened, or had no sound, though.
The assertion made by authorities that it was random doesn't make sense. The investigator said the kids weren't being targeted. What utter bullshit. The bus carried Jewish kids going to Jewish schools despite the driver saying anyone could ride. Those arrested didn't have a record showing they had a habit of going after any bus, and their words were specific and for that group of kids.
This is another example of stochastic terrrorism in my opinion. The media must be loving it, seeing the mayhem. People are caught up who never gave a flying leap about Israelis or Palestinians.
It's trendy now, like yelling at kids crossing the border and calling to have Obama lynched. They will find another cause to jump up and down and bully people when the events on the ground settles down. It's sick and disingenous for anyone to carry on about this and go after a bunch of kids, but mobs know no bounds.
And no, I won't give them a free pass for being drunk or drugged, either. Most people don't get a free pass for that, so they can do their time and be identified as the bunch of sickos on the media. Oh, wait, they won't...
