I’m Tasmanian. We don’t mention this monsters name, but thank you for covering that awful awful day.
(You missed the nurse he stabbed with a pair of scissors in prison hospital and the ferry he missed getting on at PA where passengers would have had no escape.)
The hole he left on the island is real and still very raw. The Broad Arrow is gone, replaced by a memorial garden. The bus parking space is now bush and a site focused on boat building, and there is a whole new heavily controlled entrance building. You don’t drive into the site anymore either. He is dead to us. Not one of us anymore. He is a monster.
Not mentioning his name is the thing to do right. If shit heads like this wanna be famous then thats the best way to not give em what they want. I feel like the media is encouraging stuff like this.
@@awkward14 maybe, typically. I’m sure Martin doesn’t care either way. Especially with his use of the name “Jamie”.
Did the nurse die? 😔
@@kimberleesara9486 no she didn't die from the stabbing ... she was my friends auntie 🤗
She survived and continued to work as a nurse later on after her recovery... she peacefully passed years ago from an undiagnosed brain aneurysm 💔
@@kimberleesara9486 oh I'm quite sure it was important to him.
Imagine being professionally diagnosed as annoying
🤣
Shooting at cars and massacring fruit-eating birds: legally annoying
😅😅😅
I've been diagnosed by many people with the same disability..
@@coopasdad lmao heres some sympathy. Use it wisely.
So many professionals saw this guy and NO ONE helped him. This is why mental health care is so important. Sometimes you can't predict tragedy but this was inevitable.
No instead they gave up their guns and right to defend their own lives.
I think he got help too late, it should have been when he was showing weird behaviour as a toddler. Instead they tied him up outside (which is fine if there is no help available I guess) when he shoulda been seeing help
As soon as he was torturing animals as a kid they should have ended him
@@BK-vj1oz as soon as he said he wanted to shoot people lock him in a room by himself with a gun and say there’s a person shoot him
@@dan5609 We can still have guns in Australia, just not assault rifles. And let's be honest, the proof is in the pudding. Not a single mass shooting since. I wasn't a fan of PM Howard, but at least he has that legacy. By your hysterical attachment to high-powered weapons, I assume you're American, and think laws drawn up hundreds of years ago shouldn't be updated to reflect modern technology? When the second amendment was written, musket guns took two minutes to reload. But fully automatic weapons that shoot hundreds of rounds a second?? Muh freedoms!
I'm an American and have been living in Melbourne, Australia for 22 years. Tasmania is a BEAUTIFUL place and Port Arthur continues to be a wonderful historical site to visit, as well as extremely moving when contemplating this tragedy. Thank you for sharing!
That’s how us Australians feel about Columbine…
Martin to psychiatrist: I torture animals and feel like shooting people.
Psychiatrist: Okay, as long as your father supervises you.
Brilliant work, doc.
(Dad dies)
Martin: K, I'm gonna go buy a bunch of guns now.
Everyone: Okay, just be careful with them.
Perfect example of gun laws should focus on not letting them fall in the wrong hands
Feel like the father paid him off or something
Wonder if that decision weighs on him?
He should have been put down when he was a child.
Had this guy been institutionalized when the system caught him and his tendencies all these people would have had a very different story. Mental health is serious.
Well, had his parents were qualified to be parents, he probably wouldn’t need to be institutionalized. Being tied up as a child and not learning language is an easy way to fuck a person up
I agree but I find is strange that even in other countries they stop investing in metal heath hospital they close a lot of them down here in the US now their a bunch of crazy people just walking around some end up in jail but jail or not design to handle the metal issues. Also metal health have nothing but increase over the years and the only time they get took out of society is when they hurt themselves or others. Why they close a lot of the hospital down is beyond me but it become our problem now.
@@Pulapaws those crazy people join antifa
Torturing and killing animals is not mental illness
@@Pulapaws i believe they're begining to see this behaviour for what it is
I feel sorry for his dad. Every time professionals interviewed that nutbar they said he was a danger to the public, they said his dad kept him under control.
That’s a huge burden to place on him! they could at least refer him on to a case worker? But they do NOTHING.
Especially acting as if the father would be there forever.
This is the problem.
Not gun control. Dr/patient confidentiality goes out the window when someone is deemed a threat to themselves or the community, like in this case. He should have been committed when they had the chance. That doesnt mean locked in a box with the key thrown out, but in a place that can actually work within his means to allow him a harmless, happy life.
@@J2thaAMES1 100% facts. It's like when the Catholic Church (or any organized religion) claims that the church is morally responsible to protect their parishioners privacy at all cost. Even if- said parishioner- has committed some horrible crime/crimes against children. I've nothing against religion, but that's bull****.
Doctors, religious leaders, teachers etc. should all be legally required to report things like this, and they should he held accountable if they do not.
@@allisonconnor3310 Can you imagine the amount of pain that could have been avoided? Especially in the example you use. Almost always theres a ripple effect that lasts at least a generation. Theres no sense in it. Dr/patient or confessional confidentiality is IMO used to avoid stigmatization within the community for things people really shouldnt be ashamed of, but still are. It is not and should not be used in defense of crimes whether before, during or after they have been found out.
@@J2thaAMES1 you have an excellent way of phrasing things and your absolutely correct. I'm a big believer in individual rights, and I don't like involving the government unless it's absolutely necessary. However, there are limits.
I don't want to get in to politics too much, but gun control isn't the answer. (In my opinion) Look at how long it took for the police to respond. This individual was mentally unstable and *wanted to murder as many people as possible.*
People like that are almost always going to find a way. They'll use guns, knives, bombs etc. If this mans psychiatrists had taken action- and had been *legally required* to take action- those people would still be alive.
They were sitting ducks. They had no way to defend themselves, or their loved ones when they need to most. All strict gun control really does in the long run, is ensure that the ONLY people who will be armed in these instances, are the murderer and the police. Which might turn out okay. Provide the police are there to respond.
Being a Tasmanian I'll never forget this. I was 17 when this happened. And I'm so glad how you shit on all the conspiracy stuff that goes with this case. Even today people still say that it was a set up. Good on you for a very detailed account of what happened. A sad day in Australian history.
Can you tell me anything about the availability of guns in your part of the country these days? I was surprised to see that chopper read fella was able to obtain firearms in Tasmania after he became so notorious...
It's was a set up pleb
@@samcruickshanks6856 it's illegal to possess a firearm without a licence. Anybody can buy one though on the black market in Tasmania.
i have one question, unrelated, but have you ever transformed into a small tornado as a means of transit?
Well it wasn't Martin that did the shooting. It was a short blonde hair guy with lots of acne. A friends mother was there at the time. He statements to police were removed and she was told if she didn't change her statement the police were going to say she was a drunk. So yeah please tell me how it's not a conspiracy. What about the 70 news channels from around the world just happened to be there. Or the legislation on removing semi autos from the aus public had been written up and waiting for a opp.
"My son is violent and unhinged and likes to torture and kill animals...what should I give him as a present? Oh, I know, a WEAPON!" Yeah, surprise surprise, he used it to hurt animals. Calling that a "mistake" is an underestimation of a century.
Sounds like his dad came from the school of Darwin thinking his son would be a self correcting problem. He was wrong.
Lol...yeah no kidding...when I heard mom used to tie the kid to the front porch on a leash and harness like a dog and leave him out there I thought hmmm..wonder why he turned out to have some major issues....
@@amityislandchum I was not aware of that ..blows my mind
This kid was born a psychopath. You can’t induce or fix that. psychopaths are born that way and can’t be helped. They need to be removed from society as soon as possible before they start or can continue taking lives.
@@sahd0w He was definitely born with mental issues. But his dad did not help by giving him a gun at a young age. From a young age he had access to a weapon that he could harm animals and property with and developed an obsession with it. Maybe if his dad didn't give him access to a gun, things would have developed differently. Don't get me wrong, even if his dad didn't give him a gun, he still could have went on to do similar things. But the parents certainly enabled him, and that's worth mentioning
I love the care that goes into this series. Respectful of the victims, especially, and doing justice to the story. This is so important, and I tip my hat to the creator.

I've listened to many retellings of this horrific day. This is the most comprehensive one I've come across. This is a tragic event from every angle.
Much of it seems to be lifted from a Casefiles episode (episode 45)…
@@MissIncorrigibleOfOz Yea if they're saying this is the most comprehensive (and no disrespect, LOVE this podcast), they haven't heard Casefile. I think that podcast is the most detailed of any on the "market", so to speak lol.

No. There are much more in-depth documentaries showing the chilling interviews with police. He was getting excited asking how many were dead.

Hearing that a husband lost his life distracting Martin so his wife could escape with their baby made me burst into tears. Absolutely horrible so many people lost their lives.
Same
Yeah they tend to embellish hero stories. More likely he threw the tray in an act of self preservation. When fight or flight kicks in, you stop thinking rationally and auto pilot does it's thing. But hey, it makes for a touching story.

Movie called "Nitram" is about this. Either on stan or netflix, can't remember what one but i watched it a couple of weeks ago.
I have found out so much about America by watching other countries documentaries about here. Interesting to see what is kept quiet.
@@Goodcard91 I wanna see it now. I wanna see it RIGHT NOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@4Drewbaby This was never kept quiet. It's only the young who don't know about this.
Who thinks that Helen and Martin had a Harold and Maude kinda thing going on?!
We need to STOP wasting the resources and money on fighting the USELESS war on drugs and put it towards mental health! PERIOD! I've talked to many cops over the years and they agree the "war on drugs" is a JOKE!
Yeah, but ending the war on drugs would cause property crimes to plummet and jails would empty and law enforcement agencies would go out of business.
Can't have that...
and gun control
@@bsqwahlE exactly, there’s WAY WAY too much money in it. Sadly any kind of “war” is a big money spinner and there in lies the problem - as you pointed out 🙂🐿
That and helping the small percentage of chronic homeless who have seriously debilitating mental health issues.
Try to explain that to the media. They want this shit to happen. Every time something like this happens they gain a little more control. Culture causes people to become maniacs
I am from Australia, and I lived on Hobart for 5 years. I have heard many explanations of this horrific incident and must say this is the absolute best. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
As someone from Tasmania, thank you for telling this exactly how it happened and for including the comment about conspiracy theories.
Im from New Zealand...so am well aware of the "Port Arthur" tragedy.....there could not have been any more "red flags" that Martin could have exhibited in his early years....yet like so many of these tragic events they are always ignored or justified to the detriment of the victims ....which were manifest long before his mass shooting took place.
Bullying, torturing animals, shooting at them and cars with air gun, mentally challenged to the point of being a child at mind...
Tasmania 1990's. What do you expect?
As an Aussie I appreciate you covering this. This was an enormous tragedy here, especially being in Tasmania.
I’m sorry you guys lived through this …😢
I have seen another documentary about this tragedy a few years ago. Truly horrific. I have many friends in Oz and one in Tasmania as well. Beautiful country.
He sounds like the devil
This was one of my favourite days, He needed to bump that 35 deaths up though they’re rookie numbers
@@wogerwabbitthewabbi9902 Shinji Aoba killed 36 in Japan and didn't even use a gun.
I was 16 when this happened. 25 years later I was able to visit Port Arthur and pay my respects. This changed out nation. We decided that this can never happen again…and it hasn’t. I will never forget it as long as I live. Makes me sick that his Mother is still saying he is innocent. A monster who created a monster.
At least y’all had learn , Americans haven’t
@@jackthegod9988 What was the point of that comment?
@@G.L.999 Seems pretty obvious what his point was, and he's not wrong. We have had multiple mass shootings every year and have changed literally nothing. We do nothing differently and expect the results to change. 🤷 YOLO.
Yall this should never happen again. Nevermind the original genocidal massacres that happened on that island.
@@MattyH1992 Australia still has mass shootings. Just because it’s covered up doesn’t mean it doesn’t still happen.
You did a really good job mate.
I live in Hobart & I knew Martin. He was a douche of the highest order, we did not like him. He was creepy as buggery but we never imagined he would do that.
This was a really emotional one for me reliving that day, it was fucking intense at the time & the intensity has not lessened much since. Wasn’t at Port Arthur that day due to a flat tyre- the best flat tyre I ever had.
A lot of information about Martin & the case was suppressed in Tasmania at the time so I found out a few things I didn’t know.
Love to those that lost people there & were affected by this man’s actions. X
I'm glad you had that flat tyre. Whenever something inconvenient happens, that would normally piss me off.... I think about these stories of how a small detail saved someone's life. It's very interesting and keeps me in a happier state. Best to you.
@@morticiaheisenberg9679 Aye.
Don't you think that the police and his parents played a major role in this blob of a person derailing so badly? I imagine, at the time, anyone who knew him distanced themselves from him and any of the morbid details as he was growing up.
Suuuure you knew him and miraculously avoided the attack 😂😂
GOD has a way of working huh? Because of that flat tire GOD saved your life!!! Think about that for a min. I bet you were mad about the flat tire at the time... LOL GOD works in mysterious ways... Praise GOD!!!! ALWAYS!!!
What a massive failure on both the parents and the medical professionals who saw this youngster. He should have been institutionalized, in my opinion, at an early age. Those poor victims and their families. What a tragedy. Utterly senseless.
Yes that is right. Someone who is going around shooting at people and animals with a pellet gun, and grabbing the steering wheel when someone is driving, has no place in a civilized society. He should have been locked up long before he was.
It sounds like they repeatedly tried to get help and the authorities kept saying he was best off with them.
I don’t know how it is in Australia but in the US, there is really no such thing as permanent institutionalization unless you kill someone or have enough money to pay for it.
@@debshaw680 i'm mid-video but didnt they mention the mom ignoring her behavior while his dad "tried to get him to act normal"? i think it was mutual complete disregard for the danger he presented
@@jubelu3347 thank you stranger who doesn't know anyone from anywhere

@TheDude Lebowski humans have been brutalizing each other from the dawn of man, the good thing is now we have a narrator
@TheDude Lebowski Perhaps you should 🤐 the rush to judgement & subsequent admonition for it!
Seriously tho, from one true crime fan to another, I feel the need to defend because I often have a similar reaction when I see new content from my favorite creators on my favorite subjects; true crime & politics.
I love it too. I love the psychology behind it, the duality, the actual process of solving a crime... however, I have my threshold as I imagine most of us do (animals for me) & they're all going to be unique.
I think I understand where you're coming from but I'm not sure making another feel ashamed of or somehow wrong for their interests is the best way to express it, in my opinion that absolutely no one asked for but there it is! 👈🏼 I mean this in the most lighthearted of way. 💙
- Having been the child victim of some pretty horrendous crimes, I thought I'd be weary of watching dramatized videos of true crime that mirror my own life but it's actually quite the contrary, much to my surprise & the surprise of others who try to shield me from 'triggering' content.
In a weird way, it helps me process.
- All this just to say we can never really know the roots of another's interests & hobbies. We're all here for the shared interest in true crime altho the reasons for it are wide, varied & nuanced. ✌🏻💚
I agree.
@TheDude Lebowski Wow…judgy aren’t you?
Try punctuation.
Mr. Host of "Monsters,"
You absolutely OWN the craft of journalism and verbal delivery.

This is why all governments need to put more resources into mental health. So many people would have benefitted from Martin receiving the correct help.
Or not.
He was not able to be helped. Unfortunately people can't be locked up until they actually hurt people. Killing animals should be treated way more seriously because he was killing them for years before this shooting.
He should have been locked up long before he was. When someone is walking around shooting animals and people with a pellet gun, and causing car crashes they obviously are not fit to be a part of a civilized society.
Absolutely!! He needed to be introduced to a woodchipper. He has no right to be alive from all the evil he has done.
Jacketed rounds do not cause more damage. You are thinking of hollow points. Hollow points break apart on impact and are usually more lethal. Whereas a jacketed round has a better chance of going through you thus hitting less vital organs.
His comment on an AR not being good for longer range was questionable aswell, its lethal and accurate past most people capabilities
So you guys listen to this tale of senseless murders and all you comment is about the weapons used? Interesting
@@datyellaman447 No one's denying the horrific nature of the story, but mis-stating firearm characteristics (esp. by the media) creates a lot of misunderstanding and unnecessary demonization of guns/owners.
@@rodglen7071 I agree to this full-heartedly. Guns are so negatively stigmatized and misrepresented. You have a bunch of people who don't know the first thing about firearms spouting nonsense. Everyone is entitled to their opinion (The 1st). I just wish that anti-every-guns persons would at least ask questions and not assume things. Especially over a tool that saves lives, and puts food on the table for countless people all over the world.
@@datyellaman447 All aspects of a crime should be analized. This video does contain miss-information and should be corrected and or mentioned, les we fall into ignorance.
I spent 15 months in Iraq as an infantryman. I am all the way behind owning guns, but it needs to be done responsibly. I too can't understand why people go out and call these tragedies fake or try and minimize them, it is disgusting. I just wanted to say I really agree with what you said at the end there, thank you.
Couldn’t have said it better
Until Valhalla.
Gulf war or 2003 war?
I think it's more so that people have lost trust in all information outlets. Everything is politicized by the left and the right.
You don't find it strange that an autistic kid turned into Rambo?
They call this a false flag.
@@SILOPshuvambanerjee the first Gulf War didn’t last 15 months, so he would have been in the 2nd Iraq War in the 21st century.
This is one of the most horrific, tragic stories I ever heard. RIP to the victims. I appreciate the work and research in making these videos. Extremely well done.
This one really upset me.
I have a relative that has some very concerning mental issues similar to the issues related in this case. When the subject was brought up to the parents they made excuses like it is just a phase or he will grow out of it etc... I think the parents don't want to admit that their child needs help and that if there is something wrong it will make them look like bad parents, but neglecting the help they need is what makes them a failure not the kids mental issues. Eventually my relative got the help he needed and is doing much better now but I can see how things could have progressed if left unchecked and I hope these stories fade away eventually as the shift to better mental health and treatment progresses.
You never think it could happen to you. I felt same w my abusive marriage. None of the dead women thought that either
I love when they keep reminding you”you need to understand they are not well. And do absolutely nothing about it but
Me 2
Good luck
Really appreciate your consistent upload schedule, Jiles. Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy new year.
How did you find out his name ?
As an American I cannot slightly understand the concept of hearing gun sounds and running TOWARDS them
That's because you're from America. This is an historic penal colony and they had re-enactments a lot. It would be almost impossible to believe anything terrible was really happening.
@lindalucas4899 well said
From an Australian!!THANK YOU for your last comments. You'd have know idea how many people think the Feds are to blame for this tragedy. You told this story so well. As you do all episodes. Can i suggest another Australian tragedy for an episode? Daniel Morcombe. The monster that took him is pure evil,& how he was finally caught was epic& chilling. Thank you for work you do 👏👏
Could also do Anita Cobby. Might be a bit overdone in Australia but it'd be a powerful story for the rest of the world to hear. My mum used to get off the train at that station around the time it happened and lived not far from Prospect where her body was found.
Could also do the Bega schoolgirls
Love your suggestions! It would also be great to hear about Keli Lane. Such an interesting case since it’s one of the few times in contemporary Australian history where someone has been found guilty of murder without a body being found.
Exactly right, watching the aftermath police video of all the dead and blood everywhere I astounding to think people believe it was all a conspiracy, and I own several firearms myself.
It's a moot point if it was fed orchestrated or not because the human rights abuse perpetrated by the government as a response is 1000 times the tragedy the shooting ever was. That should be even more clear with the draconian measures the government is implementing in regards to covid.
What about the indigenous woman up North that murdered 7 of her children and her niece…. Another tragedy of epic proportions.
It would be interesting to see if family members and community etc ignored the signs of mental illness and if things would be different if someone had intervened earlier.
Former Tasmanian here. Having visited Port Arthur recently, it has a quiet sadness about it. People seem to naturally fall into a silence in the area where the tragedy happened. Port Arthur is incredibly beautiful but I believe forever tinged by this event.
Port Arthur is a penal prison of torture and brutality for convicts. Theres plenty of reasons to fall into silence there.
I was very young when this tragedy happened and lived on the extreme far north of Australia. But the aftermath of this was the withdraw of guns/rifles and I remember my father having to submit his two rifles to the government (and having gotten paid for this). To this day, gun laws remain in place in Australia and we have never endured anything like this monster again. It is true, we almost n.e.v.e.r mention his name. Thank you for this documentary. Very well researched as always.
Whereas in the US we let a kindergarten class get shot up and we don't blink an eye because of our psychotic gun culture. This was a tragedy, but at least your country had the appropriate response.

@@budwhite9591 we have a right wing conservative government lol.
@@lunchb0x1986 your government is far from conservative lol! Just like the UK conservative in name only! I've lived in Australia and now reside in the USA originally from the UK. Gun control will work in Australia to some degree because you're surrounded by ocean. If the same thing happened in the states it would only strengthen the cartels and bring in more sales on the black market! Then take a look at where most gun crime occurs in the USA and how many of them firearms are illegally obtained if you exclude suicides and gang violence gun deaths in the USA are around 2 per 100k people, in Australia I believe (I looked this up a while back while having this conversation with an aussie friend) was around 1 per 100k people!
My partner grew up in Tasmania, and remembers serving him at a local bakery. When the massacre happened and his face was all over the news, he recognised him and remembered how odd he was. My partner's brother also remembers him as an odd person. I lived in Tasmania for two years, and knowing the context, I can see even more why this was inconceivable. Some of the people who worked in Port Arthur then still work there, and his name is never mentioned. A tragedy that changed the course of Australian history. When you go to Port Arthur and see the structure of the cafe and the memorial, you really feel it... Thoughts and prayers to the family of the victims
From an Aussie that has seen a million 'Special Investigations' and full length Docos on this piece of shit over the last few decades I can honestly say the last 49 mins just put them all to shame. Proud of you, bro, thank you for all your hard work.
I’ve never heard of this case. Your coverage is excellent. What a seriously twisted individual. His poor parents. The terror those people at Port Arthur felt must’ve been incomprehensible. Too bad he didn’t turn the gun on himself.
You've probably not heard of this case because most true crime channels focus overwhelmingly on US crimes. Every Australian knows about the Port Arthur Massacre.

I was 11 when he did this, we remember the place and the victims who were failed by the mental health system. This tragic reason is why Australia has a very strict gun control. May his victims find peace.
Thank you for your coverage of this horrible day in our history.
To all the Americans. This incident here, is what caused Australia's strict gun laws. Everyone had to hand over their weapons etc. Today this why you can't buy a m16 at Kmart over here.
Lol I haven't seen a Kmart in years. You might mean a Walmart in the south or a Dicks sporting goods if further north...
And since that buyback murder rates haven't changed much, you know what did change, the rate of all other types of violent crimes went up
@@oliverwells8011 Was wondering about that. Ty
@@oliverwells8011 that's because the only people that are actually affected by strict gun laws are those who follow the law. Criminals are not going to hand their guns back because they are unregistered to begin with. With technology there has to be some kind of way to prevent or minimize the chances of mass shootings. Like why can't they make an AR-15 that if you bring it inside a building it is somehow disabled and unable to fire. Technology will be able to solve this problem somehow

As a child psychologist, I cringed at every red flag that he displayed during his formative years. At least his parents tried to do something about it; in the end, it just wasn't enough.
@@areiaaphrodite What do you think his disability was?
The thing is, it’s not writing a child off to actually properly intervene lol. It just sounds like he had ADHD (I’m diagnosed myself), and his parents and teachers etc didn’t actually give enough of a shit to do anything. The separate issue is his lack of empathy, which yknow, hard to have when you have crazy parents. Empathy is taught. Kid never had a chance.
@@lizc6393 I think he had Asperger's
@@lizc6393 Oof, only just seeing this, sorry!
But I'd say that I can't make a proper diagnosis from just watching a UA-cam video. I see red flags but to be more accurate I'd actually have to talk to him, his family, get an idea of family mental health history (if any exists) etc.
That was heavy. That part where he killed the mother and babies was heartbreaking.
Three months before that day I was at Port Arthur with over one hundred kids from all over the world attending a Red Cross International Youth Conference. We spent all day and most of the night there. I hated it. Everywhere it felt like you were walking through thick pain. The sights made your eyes hurt. We did the ghost tour. Your presentation of this tragic story was handled just right. Credit too for the 'Go Fuck Yourself' moment to the gun owning paranoid delusion spinners. This horrible story needed something to break its awful spell and that was perfect.
Just one correction. If he was indeed using "full metal jacket" rounds, these are actually designed to NOT mushroom or fragment. These types of rounds actually do less damage if they do not strike bone or a major organ as they can pass straight through the body. The type of rounds that do "mushroom" and fragment are "hollow points". In fact, the Hauge Convention of 1899 prohibits the use of hollow point bullets, which is why if he had military ammunition, they would have been "full metal jacket" rounds.
This guy is ripe with the absence of firearms knowledge. He calls semi autos "automatics" and calls magazines "clips" he's clearly an anti gun person or is just willfully ignorant.
@@wreckitbmx2698 Getting technical details correct about such things is important. If in the field of investigative journalism, even as a UA-camr, care must be taken not to give misinformation or incorrect information. This video, while mostly really well done and hugely informative, gets a lot wrong about firearms and ammunition. Being anti-firearm is perfectly fine, but one must still remain objective enough to give CORRECT information.

Had no idea he was actually a rich guy. Thought he was a homeless meth head or something. What a crazy story. Reminds a bit of that dude who killed 20 something people in Canada and pretended to be RCMP.

Animals saved me from becoming a monster.
I was bullied all my life, even at my first job, where I worked for a malignant narcissist, who thought being a nasty bleep was hilarious. She enjoyed watching people be in pain and told us so.
She had no background of abuse at all; she was BORN evil.

They make more sense than people a lot of times.

I hear you! I love and wouldn’t be without my animals. They are loving pacifiers when other humans can be cruel
People trying to get into the Cafe stunned me. The human mind will really try to protect itself. They really couldn't fathom the violence taking place.
I'm from a country with a really high rate of gun violence so if we hear popping we assume it's gun fire until proven otherwise.
so b/c you're from the country you're from means you can judge..NOT!
@@carlimcelrath1901 judge? It was a comparison. If you're from a more peaceful country, you won't assume major danger. If you're from a country like mine, you assume danger first. That is not a judgment.
That's exactly what I was thinking, there's been enough gun violence in the US (where I live), to make me steer clear of pops. For people to want to see what's going on, in several instances in this event, really shows how rare a tragedy this must've been for Australia.
Well if your from a country where gun violence is low, you think it's anything else. Fireworks, car backfiring, etc. it is quite amazing though, there are a lot of accounts from the Vietnam war where American soldiers were temporarily blinded so that they couldn't remember what they saw because it was that horrific.

@@Mel13 I often wonder why people like you flock to these kinds of videos. Do you just look to start spewing septic tank garbage at any given chance? It’s fascinating.
Honestly not sure why he wasn't sent to jail for shooting ppl with the air rifle. Air rifles can and have killed people. That's assault with a deadly weapon.
People just don't take air rifles as seriously as they should, they act like they're just a toy or something. About 20 years ago an ex-boyfriend stalked me and when I went outside he shot me with an air rifle that had somehow been loaded with finishing nails. They were deeply embedded in my thigh and one had just barely missed an artery. The police did absolutely nothing except go talk to him, because it was "just an air rifle".
Your declaration at the end! Excellent!!

nothing wrong with ostriches
It only remains for him to be truly dead. Rough and basic justice would bring that in the same form that justice came to Jeffrey Dahmer and Richard Huckle but sadly this monster will probably fade away in prison, having consumed unknown state resources in keeping him "safe" from others and himself, instead of directing those resources to the survivors and families of the victims.
Me listening to how he suffered so much in prison that he tried to off himself several time : that does put a smile on my face
Not sure If true but I hear he swallowed a whole bar of soap while waiting for his trial....and instead of it choking him on its way down here just consumed it
He was smart enough to travel the world. And very aware of the evil he spread.
Good point. I’m Australian and have been exposed to many docos etc on this over the years, but I’d never heard about his earlier life and was surprised about his travel. You are right, he’s not the the person he pretends to be.
Bullet pattern.

Quoting a newspaper article: "Twelve days after the Port Arthur massacre, the Australian prime minister, John Howard, announced a sweeping package of gun reforms in a country where firearms had long been considered an essential prop in the national mythology of life in the bush.
“At that stage the gun lobby was the ruling lobby in Australia,” says Philip Alpers, associate professor at the University of Sydney. “What happened at Port Arthur is that they were outpaced, outflanked and outwitted by a man who had the power to move in 12 remarkable days.”
Tim Fischer was leader of the National party (something like the Republicans) and Howard’s deputy prime minister in the Coalition government, charged with persuading sceptical country voters to support, or at least accept, reforms. “Port Arthur was our Sandy Hook,” he says. “Port Arthur we acted on.
On the other hand, the USA with it's countless massacres is not prepared to act on their tragedies.

I hadn’t heard of this one. Seems like the medical profession and police where he grew up really blew it. They can’t have expected his parents to live forever. When he was shooting an air soft guns at strangers, he should have been in mental health care. You’d think a bunch of slaughtered sheep in the same place his father was found would have been a major clue. Sounds like he had reactive attachment disorder that was never treated or he was just born a psychopath. What an incredibly handsome young man he was. A perfect predator.
Meanwhile in the inner city, teenagers and kids are being shot by police for playing with toy guns despite having orange tips.
What could they have possibly done? Arrest him for things that aren't technically crimes? Force a legal adult to take meds or lock him up preemptively? You can't do that. I hate that fact, but it's true.
It's one of the most famous mass shootings ever. I would watch other people's videos too, this video didn't give the full spectrum of details.
For notation purposes... not an air soft gun. An AIR gun. Probably shot metal pellets.

@@TheRealInky Many many parents have had their children taken for medical neglect. I had cps called on me by baby daddy a bunch of times. One time was for "medical neglect". I took my 6 year old to a holistic dentist in Santa Monica for treatment (pull a baby tooth with big cavity). Baby daddy heard I told him the other dentist wanted to do a root canal and an amalgam filling on a baby tooth. I thought that was insane and got a second opinion...which was just pull the baby tooth. Cps was involved. It really depends on where you live. Cps has to get involved with every call. Medical neglect is a real reason they get on you. You obviously haven't had a bitter spouse who called mulitple times on you for no reason. One time my son told his Dad he slept in a tent with his dog in his room...a huge playroom. The tent he built between a couch and table. Yes him and his dog slept in there every night for a while. Cps came for that....the list goes on. It's a horrible job I would never be able to handle. It's a tricky situation either way. Yes they can intervene! My friend was stabbed 3 times in her head and twice in her shoulder in front of her two teenage daughters. She survived, ut while she was fighting for her life in the hospital cps took the kids and put them in foster care as they thought she was unfit having being brutally attacked like that and all.

Most if not all mass shooting that are actually committed and not stopped are in a gun free zone...wonder why that is? They go where the prey is the weakest. Simple.

All good and easy to say until you are the one face to face with a evil gunman... then what, are you going to tell him how about he's breaking the law, or how you would have had a gun but they are dangerous, or maybe he should wait until the cops show up?

If one person had a pistol on them in the cafe, they could have killed this monster , and saved many lives.
As I listen to this story, which mirrors so many mass shooters, I think about the parenting of these type of men. Imagine chaining a child on the porch or buying him a weapon so that he can have something to do, wow. Why even have children if you are not ready to parent them accordingly? We look at single mothers as issues, what about two parents household who are raising these men?
This is probably one of the most vile Monsters there are. What a harrowing tale of wanton death and destruction!
Oopsy!! Tasmania is part of Australia not south of Australia. Tassie people can get very sensitive about that. 😀
I was just going to write that. Tasmania is an Australian state.
Haha yes we do get a bit sensitive, it IS Australia 😊
@@Claudia-es8jv It all started with these commonwealth games opening ceremony in brisbane where they left tassie off the map
@@stephenkanaris9779 It’s a lot better now but I used to find Tassie left off the map sooo much, I think it’s a much more well loved and popular place now so it is rare nowadays but it used to really bug me. I love Tassie.
@@Claudia-es8jv It’s a beautiful place
There’s just no words to describe that level of evil. May all of his victims rest in Eternal and beautiful peace.
He is not evil. He has no remorse witch is a mental illness.
Thank you Nancy 🙏
Your description of “jacketed rounds” is incorrect. Especially later when you then call them “Armor Piercing”. AR-15 rifles are 5.56mm and the ammunition used was “full metal jacket”. This is the same round used in M16/M4 full automatic rifles in the military and per the Geneva Convention, this round is the one the military must use in wars.. Bullets use this design to minimize the wound inflicted and to generally not be fatal. It travels in a straight line through a body and unless hitting an organ in generally survivable. It does not fragment to cause more injury or spread out to hit other people. It is also not armor piercing.
@Mark Garvin he does display left-leaning views. I don't really think it's pathetic, though. It's fairly reasonable to make a mistake in research for these kind of video.
Also it is pretty understandable to get annoyed at people who try to discredit tragedies. It's also sickening when you try to say that these things don't happen whenever people rally for gun restrictions.
Before you dismiss me, I am fairly right-leaning in the firearm debate. (pro gun) I think we need to acknowledge the problems with advanced weaponry falling into the hands of monsters, while also not preventing well-meaning citizens from being allowed to defend themselves.
@Mark Garvin Fair enough. Me too.
@Bumps0fGoose Agree! I enjoyed his videos and even his commentary until he threw in his political opinion. He totally turned me off with that.
Being from Australia this was absolutely terrible when it happened and remains so today. It would have been good to touch on how this mass murder changed gun laws for the better in Australia.
lol have fun in your Covid camps
@@melrye7350 There are more guns in Australia now then before gun control
Some people are just born "Bad Seeds" Excellent narrating, I never heard of this case, Bravo to you, I love your honesty, your not going to kiss anyone's ass for subscribers
I remember when this happened and it broke our country. A positive thing that came out of it all is that guns were banned after this and we never had another tragedy like this ever again. I’ve never seen any other true crime channel cover this case, thank you.
shows how smart you are .
Yeah, it was just unbelievable, huh? Such a shocking thing for Australia.
@@kennethjenkins5210
Are you saying he's really smart? I can't tell. He's pretty obviously right, though (except he's slightly off with the gun laws).
I’m from Hobart and it still hurts
@@christopherhammond5142 He? How many men do you know called "Michelle" lol
Love how this channel has evolved. So detailed. Awesome work.
I love that you are not afraid to express your opinions with full brunt force rather than sugar coating everything to be more politically correct. I respect your candidness and so far have totally agreed with you and your opinions.
@@user-ex7qx4pv2u I'm pretty sure that's what she's referring to. Do you have a problem with it? If you do, you know exactly what you can do with that problem. 🖕
@@user-ex7qx4pv2u Are you seriously defending this piece of shit? Well, aren't you just special!
Great work , as always. I’d not heard of this case before.
My heart goes out to all those who lost loved ones due to this senseless violence.
Thank you for covering this! It is sad, angering, and tragic. I’ve been aware of this case since it happened in ‘96. (Yes, I’m old). I have studied it and the after effects. Crazy how people can be very self-centered and would rather blame the government then accept the truth. Maybe one day where I live, gun violence will be taken seriously. I doubt it, but hope, common sense, and acceptance of how violent and in need of change our society is; perhaps one day win out over the lobbyists.
Your words are dripping with America.
With all due respect, our Gov't (US) & intelligence agencies have been behind a plethora of pseudo, orchestrated events armed to the teeth with corruption & agendas.
This is not a secret. It's not some conspiracy. Intelligence has infiltrated nearly every aspect of our lives; media, Hollywood, music, social media & tech ....
In fact, it's only thru independent journalism that we know most of this, people actually interested in doing the research & sleuthing thru pages upon pages of documents & declasses.
Then they turn it around, coin terms like 'conspiracy theorists' & gaslight the hell out of all of the sheep still tuned into their propaganda.
They can no longer control the narrative due to independent journalism which is why they're so hellbent on silencing them.
I'm not in any way excusing the actions of this monster or even implying the 'conspiracy' is legit (I'd never heard it), however, it's beyond delusional to think that Gov't (administration, intelligence, mainstream media, lobbyists, activists...etc) has not orchestrated these kinds of terrorist & criminal acts.
Their handiwork has been on display & practically spotlighted throughout the entirety of the last 2 years. At this point, those who can't see it are choosing not to. 🤷🏻♀️
@@Channeler324 Good points. Independent journalism is the only authentic journalism. Pro-gun types would also, I'd imagine, be quick to point out that if the people/victims of this tragedy were given permission to legally conceal/carry, this monster likely would have been taken down in the opening seconds of his tirade. Are they correct? Probably.
I don't believe intelligence was behind this case personally, but I believe, truth be known, these agencies are responsible for as many tragedies as they help to avert. Scared people are easier to govern, and if you keep them fighting amongst themselves, they are more likely to ignore authoritative corporate corruption at high levels of government. Governance psychology 101.
RIP to the victims and condolences to their families..
@@Channeler324 Amen to that.
The corruption is so rampant, only the willfully ignorant are blind to it.
@@charliethecockatoo2159 she literally commented on another video defending America so I checked out her other comments and I love that you responded with this 😆😆😆
I really appreciate your work and share your sentiments. Thank you for being respectful, grounded, thorough, and going above and beyond with your videos. Cheers. Oh; and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
