Comment on Breaking: NSW Police responding to reports of shooter at Bondi Beach
Ilandar@lemmy.today 3 days agoWell it happens in Sydney, and to a lesser extent Melbourne. It does frustrate me a bit that these things get framed as Australian issues when they’re often not.

i don’t get how it’s not an australian issue for an australian to shoot a bunch of people in australia

Look through the list of terrorist attacks (successful and prevented) in Australia, you’ll consistently see the same two cities coming up. It is hysterical and/or arrogant to immediately frame this as a national issue when it’s just simply not. Australia is not mono-cultural, we shouldn’t be extrapolating out from two cities and pretending the other ~60% of the population suddenly has something to fear.

Man you’re not even correct on your claims.
“The most populous states have the highest number of people doing shit” yeah it’s called statistical probability.

Did you not read the page you linked?.Most of the incidents are in Sydney or Melbourne or their outer suburbs/districts. And yes, bigger cities tend to have more social problems.
