Horrific - my studio is next to all this - there's Cops, Firey's, Ambo's everywhere - poor buggers didn't have a chance - kids & babies killed & injured too
And yet mention the prospect of capital punishment and things return to an entirely unrealistic approach such that we are asked to consider how the poor accused should be understood and rehabilitated.
How long will the accused spend in prison.
Whilst in prison how many will he effect or infect.
Uncivilized actions do not deserve civilized treatment.

It will be interesting to see whether he was on anything, or was just
behaving normally [by his standards].

News reports say he had drug and mental problems, and was well known to police. He apparently stabbed his brother in a domestic fight and took a woman hostage before driving into Melbourne-fortunately she escaped.
Life is so fragile, one person can damage others so easily and never understand truly what he has done to them....The victims will be affected for the rest of their lives from this terrible act.
Regarding the guys with a baseball bat - I'd say they are probably aggressive thugs themselves who travel with their weapon, a baseball bat, in their car.
A news website calls one of them a hero. Such an overused word by the media and probably not apt in this circumstance. Just an aggro bully doing things his way.

Your version won't sell newspapers however.
I guess if you don't play baseball and you carry a bat in your car one can only draw one conclusion.

One may say the same about Australian cricket players travelling in their cars with vicious willow clubs and up to six evil tipped stabbing implements in their cars... Obviously thugs...
Nothing like stereotyping islanders. In my experience, bloody incredible people... but of course, there are exceptions to every rule I guess...
Where is the accountability for magistrates who give bail to repeat violent offenders, who offend again whilst on bail?
The judiciary, like politicians, are a law unto themselves. If they were ever truly held accountable for their actions, there would be crucifixion crosses lining both sides of the Hume Highway from Melbourne to Canberra, and I'd take holiday snaps of every friggin one of them...
I would love to hear what this character thinks about things such that he acts the way he did.
What does he believe?
Why does he feel driven to act so badly.
Who does he see as the enemy.
How does he see his actions supporting his cause.
How does he see killing people as a good idea.
