Yesterday's hero who wrestled gun from Bondi shooter named as Ahmed al Ahmed. No training, no weapon, no body armour, no colleagues watching his back...just the biggest pair of balls I've ever known.
Mr Ahmed, your actions restore my faith in humanity, at a time when others' test them to their limits.

Fair play to him.
Did you see a holocaust survivor was gunned down,how crap is that.
The death toll now stands at 15. May all of their memories be blessings.
If anyone in here has Jewish friends, neighbours or work colleagues then please check on them and ask if they are ok. For members of an ethno-religious group who have been persecuted for over two millennia, it can feel like the whole world is against you. Especially the way antisemitism has drastically spiked over the past two years, plus the events on Bondi Beach and other anti semitic terror attacks. Please show them that it’s not.
Ban the genocidal chants "From the river to the sea" and "Globalise the intifada"
Had the second gunman aimed a bit higher, he’d have lost those balls. He’s incredibly lucky to be alive. Taking on one armed person would have been impressive enough, but to do that with another a-hole shooting at you is ridiculously brave.
People generally are decent. But it’s the wangers who get all the attention unfortunately.
Edit: I’m just having a catch up on BBC and this sums up how generous most people are. We can all be heroes in a small way:
“Blood donors crash website, queue for six hours to help published at 05:53 05:53
Tiffanie Turnbull BBC News, Sydney Officials earlier today put out an urgent call for blood to help treat those injured in last night's shooting, and Sydney has responded in droves. The blood donations website crashed under the weight of demand, so Lifeblood - the agency which manages them - appealed for people to show up at blood banks anyway.
Here at Town Hall, in the heart of Sydney, the wait to donate is over six hours.”

If your response to incidents like this is hate and fear, you're giving these people what they crave.
Well done the people of Sydney.
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.
The Aussie press are also reporting a refugee who intervened and disarmed the second gunman. For his troubles he got beaten and kicked in the head by other bystanders and now faces deportation despite having an Australian wife and kids. Seems a bit harsh!

In this sense, I've also been very impressed by what the Rabbis I have heard speak have said.
We cannot allow hate to win, and hopefully this and the event in Manchester will lead to some lessening of antisemitism.

I wish I shared your faith. Since the attacks incidences of reported antisemitism aren’t getting any better.
I hope I’m wrong but I fear the next Bondi Beach will happen in Canada. The open Jew hate on the streets over there is off the scale. This latest episode is extremely worrying.

Faith is the wrong word. It was hope I mentioned, and I had in mind that maybe some people will think in advance about their conduct in relation to Jewish people, and maybe not abuse them or daub slogans on premises belonging to them.
Maybe it is a forlorn hope, and it certainly would not apply to the sort of people you highlight.
Interestingly, I was listening to Danny Finkelstein on LBC this morning who was discussing the rise in antisemitism in the US on the right (especially among the young) driven by people like Nick Fuentes.
Here's a link to a Spectator podcast where he discusses this.
