What looks like jihad in Melbourne Oz. may be being carefully stage managed

UPDATE courtesy of Gates of Vienna:

This news link has a comprehensive list of tweets and other indicators that give a pretty good idea of what this guys mental processes are. Frankly after reading it, I would lean towards Islam flavoured crazy.

 

If this witness is to be believed the motive for the attack is a slam dunk.

Now look at the video on this official news page from Australia: (non-embeddable)

The audio CLEARLY does not match the video. But the camera also appears to be indoors. Even so, thats some pretty darn good window glass for a coffee shop. But it may not be misrepresenting the situation.

This Twitter feed is important:

Above is one of the Tweets from that feed.

Telegraph:

Video at link above as well.

Local media reported that the driver was believed to have stabbed his brother earlier in the day.

Rebecca Russo, a bystander, said she saw three people hit by the car.

“We were just standing on Bourke Street  and we heard a bit of a crash coming from the Mall,” she told Fairfax Media.

“People were running out of the way, they were going very very fast. I saw him hit a few people. I saw bodies flying into the air.”

There are lots of videos and photos and so on at the above link but a fantastic wealth of lack of eye witness reports and although the guy appears to be screaming with his head out his car window we cannot hear what he says.

And now, The Express:

Melbourne ‘attacker’ NAMED as ‘Islamic’ who ‘knows how to take you dogs down’

The 26-year-old has been named as the man police believe is responsible for deliberately driving a maroon coloured Holden car into the crowd in Bourke Street and Queen’s Street in the city centre just before 2pm.

These are the first pictures of the suspect just before he was seen ploughing into shoppers and lunchtime workers, killing four, including a man and a woman in their 30s and a young child.

At least 25 people are thought to have been injured.

“The suspect, who was known to police and was on bail at the time, can be seen hanging out of the car’s window as he appears to be screaming at pedestrians, moments before he drove into the pedestrianised shopping area.”

Funny that NO ONE is reporting WHAT he was screaming. Was it, “RUN RUN MY BRAKES DON’T WORK”? Or was it, “ALAS YOU ABATTOIR!?” I think it matters.

This Tweet might answer the question.

Thank you Oz-Rita, Gates of Vienna, M. Wrath of Khan and all who followed this story. Please place any related links under this post. Will update as they come in.

  4. Yes, it was indeed surreal to see all of these pedestrians outside of Flinders St Station filming this Mohammedan doing “donuts” and screaming out the window of the stolen car, yet NONE of the video has surfaced at all, apart from one with NO audio.

    The Police did ask politely for anyone who captured footage to hand it in for examination, and of course, Victoria’s police chief commissioner Graham Ashton who said on Friday afternoon that the ‘incident is not related to any counter-terrorism or terror-related activity’.

    Nothing to see here, folks – move along, move along. It was just “James” Gargasoulas, a Australian of Greek extraction, who suffered mental health issues and was a drug user.

    However, much more is available at the Daily Mail:
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4139828/The-online-rants-Melbourne-CBD-car-attacker.html

    This includes the following quote:

    “A close friend told said Gargasoulas’ rantings were driven by heavy use of the drug ice, and that he had recently converted to Islam.

    ‘He was a great guy but ice destroyed him. Then he converted to Muslim and changed very quickly. For over a month he’s been on edge,’ he told Daily Mail Australia.”

    Hmmm – either the Police Commissioner is flat-out wrong, or the Daily Mail is wrong.
