10:03 this made me cry. “How do you love a monster” broke my heart. Yes, his son committed a horrible attack, but this man had decades of experiences with his son that were not horrific. It’s so sad that people we love can do horrible things. I feel awful for all those who were affected.
I'm tearing up too. I can't imagine how shocking it must be. He clearly feels for the victims and like he has a responsibility to express that but he's still processing what his son did.
what a horribly sad statement to have to make, "How do you love a monster. Give birth to him" so sad.
That was pretty rough to watch...it makes you realize that "okay maybe THIS is why some parents can just overlook terrible things their kids do" because I myself wondered that when I think it was the Gabby case happened? Like how could a mother assist her son in hiding from the law when he's a killer? When he took the life of an innocent? But seeing this....I think i get it now.
dude, that shit had me literally in tears. I am a desensitized American zoomer watching this on an iPhone but that man’s love for his son is one of those few and far between moments of reality where it is so hard to see this as a simple shooting or assault like we have here in america. we see it happening en mass over here, every week there is a kid shot at a school or beaten to the point of death and it has never made me feel the way that the aussies seem to. I really don’t know how to explain how this guy halfway around the world can get to me more than the people i live less than a mile from.
I did not expect to cry but lord, that hurt my heart.
Letting people pay $700 for a bad device is harmful
exactly
It's because we've gotten to a point culture wise where people can get offended over anything. Even doing a good job....or doing charity work.
For real. Doing damage to a company’s stock is not, in fact, “harm” in any real sense
You're not paying $700 for a bad device.
You're paying $700 for a fancy brick that only becomes a bad device if you pay an ongoing subscription, and returns to being a brick when you stop paying.
Unlike a smartphone which at least is still usable as a portable web browser (when there's Wifi), MP3/Video player, alarm, notepad, and everything else it does if you stop paying for connectivity on it.
True Dat, but it would not be the fist time lol
Faraz Tahir is the security guard that was killed in the Bondi Junction stabbing. It was his first week on the job, and his first shift during the day. He managed to alert the security operations room before he died, and his actions saved lives.
He ws also a Pakistani refuge. He has my deepest gratitude, people like him make us a better country. And my deepest condolences to his family, i REALLY hope we take care of them like he did us.
As an Aussie this news was heart breaking. I agree that this could have been so much worse if he had had a gun. I'm so glad we have the gun laws we have. I also loved the fact that the guys with the bollards are from France. Ones a permanent resident and the other's on a visa. I hope he gets full citizenship. Both of them are true Aussies at heart.
@@clairel666 Damien Guerot and Silas Despreaux, French tradies. They were also the ones that ran behind the police woman holding chairs. Damien Guerot has been offered permanent residency!
BAMF
@@clairel666 Curiously the shopping centre was full of true Aussies but no one else had a go...
As a industrial design student, the burden of "do no harm" should fall on the product, not the consumer and certainly not a critic, who serves the consumer. How about creating a product that actually is worth the cost of material and manufacturing and actually in beneficial to the consumer? Its sad that these days that's really hard to find in a product, but that is how it should be.
I agree with you but also believe that this product is actually worth it for several people, the problem lies in its low market cap of people it would actually be useful to, and thus forcing the company to expand into people this product does not justify the price or engineering, but again this is a problem of the company, product and in this case product placement in the market.
With my limited knowledge, i'm struggling to find or visualize who, when, or what this AI pin for that can optimally replace a smartphone in a specific scenario.
It's the same with the rabbit AI device thingy. But we have to wait and see for its release before making any judgements.
I watched the entire MKBHD video reviewing the product: He spoke to its impressive build, admired the vision behind it, and showcased well just what it can do. After which, he articulated why the product, in its current form, isn't ready for market. He wasn't unnecessarily cruel or vindictive. He just spoke as an expert in the field of tech.
My thoughts exactly. I was a little taken aback by the actual review since the title was so negative. He offered constructive criticism and explained his opinions respectfully.
@@jessislistless I agree. I realized pretty quickly that, while accurate, his title was to garner attention to a video that was surprisingly nuanced
You my good citizen displayed a great example of a balanced perspective.
You made a normal, relatable comment about events as they actually happened.
It’s small but gives me a little bit of hope. Thanks for proving media literacy is still alive friend
@@Mustachioed_Mollusk you're welcome, my mustachioed friend
i would even argue that the basic premise of the device is absolutely pointless. it sits in the basic idea of "you can do the same things a phone ca, only with worse feedback and without getting distracted by a screen", do people really need a seperate device that costs 700 dollars to put their fucking phone down? not just that but also make others rich for something you can just learn to do it yourself by exercising some god damn self discipline? cause thats straight up dystopian.
The father of the mass stabber seriously almost had me in tears in this pizzeria. Quite often after you hear these stories you’ll hear a family denouncing or distancing themselves from the perpetrator, but he stands there heartbroken over the death of his son and over the pain and death he caused. How a man can stand so much public multifaceted pain is beyond me. His grief and internal conflict really got to me.
His words broke me. I’ve suffered with mental health issues for most of my life now, I’ve never been a risk to others but I was for a while very much a risk to myself. I cannot begin to imagine the pain he’s going through, he’s lost his son to a terrible illness, and that son that he loved and will probably always love hurt many people. You can tell he feels for those who were affected by his son’s actions and that he shares their pain, and he knows what his son did was terrible but he lost his son and he seems to feel guilt for still loving that son. I hope he can learn to mourn, and not blame himself for what happened.
It is his only family really of course he can't just cut him off and mostly who you see denouncing family are siblings, not often parents.
I really hope that the feelings he puts on display are genuine. Am I jaded to also feel like maybe he isn't as guilty ridden as he appears? Idk, it's a sad story all the way around no matter how you look at it.
Someone hug the father!
I really feel for that guy. He didn't shy away from the cameras. He faced the cameras and didn't hide, said he was sorry and heartbroken about it and declared his love for his son. I was just logging in to type a comment, and you have hit the nail on the head with what I was trying to say.
The entirety of the Australian story brought me to tears. The mother protecting her baby, the baby loosing his mother, the father crying over his son. I had to leave my room to keep from picking up my infant and just crying.

My brother’s doctor refused to test him for STI because he didn’t show any outward signs. He wanted to be that person that got tested every 6 months but instead they shot him down and told him to only get tested when there was an active issue. Pisses me off to this day.
That's concerning since some STIs aren't visible? Hopefully he went to a different doctor after that
@@veronicavids that’s what I said. He did.
I want to give that father a hug. I cannot imagine a deeper despair than knowing the child you tried so hard to save is now dead, and he died being a monster that took innocent lives with him.
And this right here is why I don't want to be a father. Sometimes you can do everything right as a parent by getting them the help they need and it still won't be enough. They can still grow up to be rancid people despite your best efforts to help them. I don't know what I'd do with myself if the child I raised into adulthood committed an atrocious act like this and died in the process. I'd most likely off myself because that amount of guilt sounds unbearable. I can't imagine what this father is going through.
@@noway377Between schools, friends, and social media, a parent has far more limited influence on their children than we're willing to admit. We're not even half.
@@noway377I've raised 2 great kids, and I can tell you that it is worth it. Dont let these 1 in 10 million tragedies make you think this is the norm. If you dont want to have kids because you dont want the responsibility, that's good, don't. But if you start any endeavor thinking everything is worse case scenario, you'll never end up experiencing the best things in life.
@@ripn929707 im not that commenter but thanks i often feel I shoudlnt have kids due to family history of mentall illness including myself. i often think of adoption
That video *broke* me. Apparently, the media are still camped on his front lawn. How many more pounds of flesh do they want from him? He can’t change what happened. Let him grieve in peace.
Reporters showed up at my parents’ house the day after he died in a car accident. Apparently, they have access to government records that give them people’s addresses. The worst part is they don’t care about anything more than getting a sound bite. They pump you for all the emotion they can get out of you and then carry on their merry way to the next victim. 😢💔
Netanyahu seems like the kind of person who would start a regional war to avoid losing his political position and facing corruption charges.
As an Israeli I can confirm this is 100% correct
That's exactly what he's doing.
I am pretty sure that's why the IDF bombed the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, Syria on April 1st, which is technically Iranian Soil and a direct attack on them. By UN Charter 51 Iran has a right to defend itself and respond to that attack (the same charter Israel is bastardizing as an occupying force currently). Their (Iran) leadership even said they would not have felt compelled to do anything IF the international community (UN) would have actually condemned that attack on April 1st and taken some sort of action against Israel for doing so. It's so wild that people are saying Iran is bringing destabilization to the region when it's Israel who is attacking multiple countries in the region, opening conflicts on multiple fronts, and attempting to force it's allies into the conflict and assist in retaliations. Netanyahu is literally making the world a more dangerous place for every single person in the Middle East, Jewish people included, and even potentially affecting the safety of the globe. Really hoping there isn't any further escalation on either end because obviously all war is fucking horrific and imo a failure of humankind on some level but watching the west paint this picture that this is all Iran's fault or that it was unprovoked is frustrating, not surprising at all really, but super frustrating.
And now of course since Biden did actually push for a de-escalation the war hawks are coming out, eager to throw us into the conflict and HARD for the sake of defense contractors (like Boeing), which would literally further destabilize the region, the very thing they are also criticizing Iran for doing.
Almost like that's exactly what happened... They have the highest security of any nation and even knew many days before something was coming.. Almost like he let It happen
Remember when TDS sufferers claimed Trump was going to start a war? LOL.
I am Australian and I feel I speak for many of us when I say that the Bondi tragedy, and the stabbings in the Fairfield Church could have been so much worse if we didn't have such stringent gun control here. More lives would have been lost if these men had access to firearms. The tragedies are awful in every way, but it could have been so much worse.
Or, if you actually had citizens with access to such weapons, it would have not been such tragedy as has been shown many times previously. Not really supporting either approach here, just seems like a blinders on take to suddenly throw guns out like a buzz word and assuming the outcome of a situation.
@RelicRewind and how well does that work for us in the U.S.?? We have mass murders all year, every year. So stricter gun laws prevent more murders. You're delusional if you think the way America has more guns than humans has prevented deaths.
@@RelicRewind There isnt ANY situation where guns make situation safer, not one. How can you think even for a second that shootout could be so much safer huh????
@@Zoltan1251 You need to look up that info better. There's hundreds of cases weekly where someone being armed has prevented harm to then or others and even saved someone's life at times, they just are not reported on as heavily if at all by major news networks or even the people involved in them. Does it mean everyone needs a gun? No there's people I would never EVER trust with one, but with actual training it can sometimes be the difference between 1 dead and 10 dead.
@@RelicRewind here in Colorado a "good guy with a gun" got killed by police because they thought HE was the shooter.
Phil please cover the church stabbings in depth! It's such a sad sitataution and us Assyrians are praying for Bishop Emmanuel's recovery. He prayed for the stabber right after he was attacked and the churchgoers held him until police got there, I think that honestly deserves a bamf of the day especially doing services in Gaza before all of this. He's a good human being.
It amazes me how angry people get every time a reviewer gives their actual opinion. Do we want them to be transparent and objective or be a shill for corporate interest?
Obviously be a shill 😂
Yet when reviewers DO act overly positive and in effect 'shill for the corporate interest' watch how people (sometimes THE SAME people) have an absolute fit. It is impossible to please everyone, and it seems to be getting harder to please ANYONE.
Yes, that's *exactly* what they want.
Yes I did not understand what people are mad about. He thinks the product sucks. Okay? What are you gonna do make him like it?
The people raging at reviewers want them to validate their own beliefs.
Seeing the stabber's father just break down was heartbreaking
That one hurt to watch
As a mom, his interview breaks my heart. He is a victim here too.
The perpetrators’ families and loved ones are always victims, and usually overlooked. It’s a tragedy for them too and it’s heartbreaking.
I wanna hug him. The poor Guy...
As an Aussie, I've not heard one person blame him. The poor man is shattered.
The killer was severely mentally unwell and experiencing homelessness. Our country has failed him and many others. Our mental health system can’t cope with the demand of people who need help. The need for psychologists are skyrocketing but they make it incredibly difficult to become one. There are no beds in hospitals for mental health patients so people get thrown out. Waiting times are months to see someone and while we do have Medicare that pays for 10 sessions, it only pays for a portion of what a psych costs and often times, you’re still out of pocket. I’m not excusing what the killer did in Sydney, it is horrific. But I’m angry that our government would rather put more money into private schools, defence force and politicians pockets instead of funding things that holistically support mental health like public education, hospitals and affordable housing.
Well said. We failed this man and his victims.
@@mycosysthank you! And I 100% agree the victims deserved better!
It’s just so frustrating. He was known to the police for 4 years because of his mental health, but we did nothing.
My Mother works in state health and she tells me horror stories about nurses like herself not knowing what they can do to deal with unstable psych patients. They clearly need more help but become a risk to themselves and others. The government must prioritize these people. They're the most vulnerable population and when they're abandoned, events like this happen. Horrifying.
@@_aislingxyz firstly, you mum is a hero and I hope she gets the pay she deserves. Secondly, I agree with you! There needs to be more assistance. I’m a youth worker and I deal with so many support workers in the hospitals that are just… stupid shall I say. How do we expect nurses to deal with everything when drs, psychs and support works take a step back because it’s too hard to deal with?
Typically American: Yeah mental health issues aren’t real. We just need more knife laws
Iran saying that they will reply 'proportionately' actually has some history behind it when it has to the US and them. During 'Operation Praying Mantis' the US sought to get 'proportional retaliation' for the crippling of one US ship and they sank the entire Iranian navy. Then when the US was brought to court for it they left scott free.
Thanks to Biden Iran not only had the cash to fund their proxy war but they also know Biden is a weak leader and that's why they attacked Israel. They know if a Republican gets into office that their aggression will be wiped out. Iran is a POS country.
Politicians condemning Iran using rhetoric that *easily* applies to Israel is mindboggling. Don't they have *any* self-awareness?
They do they just choose what to say, that furthers their agenda
Politicians are invested in the Chaos because of stock investments.
America is not a Democracy it is an Oligarchy
Really any government that allows its leaders to hold stock are oligarchies.
Or just ignoring the fact that Israel bombed and actual Embassy and this was Iran responding to that. They're acting like Israel did nothing to provoke this response 🙄
exactly. This idea that Iran helping rebel groups means the attack was justified is also ridiculous. As if Israel hasn't given military aid to Isis or other rebel groups in Syria.
It's funny too because Iran also has one of the largest jewish populations outside of Israel in the middle east. If this was aboit hating jews I doubt that community would be allowed to exist.
@@alyshakingThe Iranians killed at the Embassy were responsible for plotting the Oct 7th attack.
Imo, Israel shouldn’t have, but I can see their point.
Also, ironic Iran is anti bombing embassies now, considering they attacked multiple Israeli embassies in the 90’s.
@@Bendylife like i dont even care i dont think either iran nor israel are innocent in this but holy fk are they insulting my intelligence when they call this an unprovoked attack and accuse iran of escalating the conflict... after they literally bombed an iranian embassy
The Bondi stabbing were terrifying. Very sad. What makes me sick is the people who immediately after the attack pushes their anti-Muslim hatred and tried to say the assailant was Muslim, when it turns out he wasn’t. Those people should be ashamed of themselves
They're just projecting their bigotry. Thank God he didn't have a firearm. That could be MUCH worse.
Prominent twitter accounts from right wing aussies were saying that the man was Hamas. Sickening.
Can't blame us for assuming when 99% of all attacks in the world are muslim. Maybe just maybe the "good" muslims should do something about their easily radicalized faith instead of pushing the blame for being aware of it unto others yeah?
People would find the opportunity to spread hatred whenever they were given little information from the news media. They just don't have the time and patience to wait until more details come out. Truly these people have no time jumping to conclusions too quick until mistakes were made like "Oh shit my bad"
Often is, no? I feel like it's a legitimate concern to have.
The MI-5 case really highlights to me the difficulty of intelligence work as far as tangible deliverables. Groups like MI-5 are essentially tasked with predicting the future and no matter how good a group of analysts are at their job, they will never get 100% of everything that comes across those analysts' desks.
Having worked with them, the British intelligence community is a very professional set of organizations that nip attempted terror attacks that you will never hear of in the bud every year, but unfortunately in the counterterrorism world, it only takes one.
That father is the exact reason why I could never wish fatal harm to someone. There are always others that do care about the individual, even if they are some of the lowest of the low. I mourn for that father's loss, and I hope others see why mental health should fall under health care.
As an American who’s grown so desensitized to mass killings like the one described here, it hit in me the gut to hear and see that reporter grappling with the severity of what she was reporting, obviously holding back tears. So often, the reports that we get, through absolutely no fault of the reporters, don’t sound or look like that because we’re just so used to it. Genuinely wishing a speedy recovery to those injured, and condolences to families who lost loved ones. The trauma for those who witnessed or there will likely never leave, but I hope they can receive the care they need in this time as well. It’s truly awful. 😔
I think what we truly grasp on is the fact that a baby was involved in the attack. Every mother can relate to this because a mother sacrifice herself to protect her baby. No child should not experience such cruel violence. We are praying for the baby's survival
@@Nakki1305 I hear what you're saying, but by that same coin we should all have that same gut wrenching sadness whenever we hear that any number of children got s**t up in our schools.
It was jarring to remember mass casualty events aren’t normal
@@gregvs.theworld451issue is shootings happen pretty often so people either stop caring because we are desensitized to it, or because the coverage is so limited/surface level no one can really feel any more than “oh I hope they are ok”
MKBHD has been on YT since he was 15 years old, giving wholesome, honest and balanced tech reviews. He is a national treasure and should be protected at all cost.
Agreed. I trust him even more than I used to trust CNET.
@@esmooth919CBET went downhill after letting go of Brian Tong
The “do no harm”-thing is the most capitalist stuff Ive heard for a while, like seriously, you are miffed that now people are better informed and arent going to buy this semi sus product. Being sad for the company is such a wild take.
Umm, have you watched his multiple videos on the Cybertruck?
How can you trust that shill?
@@ErebosGR This. He's way too nice to Tesla and Apple whenever they make terrible products. Also his response to BLM was pretty weak and he strikes me as a black excellence believer
My favourite example of Ai bias in medicine is the cancerous rulers. They trained AI to identify skin cancer but unfortunately the AI couldn’t identify the difference between cancer and a normal mole. Instead the AI learned that rulers tend to appear next to skin cancer and would diagnose cancer when a ruler was in the photo.
Hearing that a 9 month old was one of the victims in Sydney absolutely broke me. It's bad enough that innocent people were killed but to imagine someone having the capacity to harm a defenseless infant is unfathomable for me.
People love telling what others can do with their UA-cam channel. Glad that MKBHD is trusted enough to make a statement like this
Don't manufacturers get that MKBHD is one of the most honest and trusted tech reviewer out there, he ain't gonna sell out...
He didn't get to where he is by shilling or lying in his reviews.
@@podboi825 Exactly - anyone who watches any one of his reviews should be able to see that he's arguably the least sensationalist reviewer on the platform. He's my first stop for reviews on new tech because of that honesty and integrity.
Exactly
you are not allowed to post this comment.
If my heart wasn’t already shattered into a million pieces hearing that the mother who tried to save her baby died listening to the father of the killer apologize for his son’s action broke me 😢
My friends and I will sometimes say "But think of the shareholders" as a joking defense of whatever awful biz some corporation is doing, but my man Daniel really said that with his whole chest.
For the STI health section,
I'm a certified tester for HIV rapid tests. I can't begin to describe how nervous people are to get ANY Sti test done and how inaccurate that app can be. Physical symptoms will usually start showing when a person is at a later state of infection when someone has most likely accidentally spread the STI. If you have concerns, get tested! If you have any doubt, get tested! I assure you the person running the test will not judge you for getting a test done.
Iran gave a warning before launching the assault. They wanted 99% of it to be intercepted. They don’t want an escalation, but they couldn’t let the attack on their embassy go unpunished without incriminating their ability to respond to threats. I hope both sides refrain from further escalation.
Exactly ppl saying Iran should attack again rlly don’t understand how devastating that type of escalation would be. Does Israel need to be held accountable? Yes. But let’s not forget the millions of innocent civilians especially Palestinians that would be impacted by that.
Israel hit the building NEXT to the embassy, didn't they? How strange Iran did not know Hamas terrorist leaders were there.
Exactly. Thank you for having a brain.
@@claireyblueberry136 Given that Iz real shows time and time again they've apparently got US leadership by the balls, and if they ask them to jump, we apparently say "How high master?", I wouldn't want to attack Iz real if I were them right now either. Note I am absolutely not saying that like it's a good thing. It absolutely is not.
If Iran didn't want to escalate things they wouldn't be funding the groups in that region.
That lifeguard is Reidy from Bondi Lifeguards! He’s such a true hero to the surface and has made some amazing rescues over the years, no surprise he jumped into action to rescue others whatsoever. Props to him, he’s utterly such a BAMF and a total sweetheart who I’ve had the pleasure of saying hi to before down visiting Bondi.
It’s such an awful tragedy, Bondi is such a beautiful place filled with wonderful people and this did not deserve to happen.
I heard him talking and had a moment of "I know that voice" and when I looked I was sure he was one of the lads from Bondi Rescue but due to video quality i couldn't tell who for certain
The Australian story is so heart breaking. There are no words that can describe the pain and suffering that was inflicted here...a mom and her baby savagely attacked and the mom dying while most likely praying that her child survives...the father of the killer having to live everyday knowing his son killed people but loving him anyway....the officer that shot and killed the guy having to go through that trauma and relive it daily...the victims and their families are left permanently scarred, no one woke up that day worrying about something like this happening and yet the surviving victims will carry trauma with them forever and the other families are left with a permanent void where their loved one use to be
As a mental health professional, I hope the father's message gave some insight for people, such as realizing how complex, gray, and overwhelming we are, so concepts like purity and evil, do-gooder and monstrous = Does. Not. Exist.
That man/ boy wasn't a monster, but a sick person. Most people, even the cruelest of people, are a culmination of choices that make functional sense in the moment. Saying "monster" is a socially conditioned way to separate "us from them" and if we continue that trend, mental health issues will never have a fighting chance.
As an American who grew up with active shooter drills, I am shocked by the carnage able to be achieved with a single knife. My heart truly goes out to all of the families of the victims, and I can tell the assailant’s dad is struggling HARD in the wake of his son’s crimes. It is near-impossible to reconcile that someone you love is capable of atrocities, and we need to give him some grace as he’s most likely blaming himself already for what his son did.
In Australia, we don't get a lot of serious violent attacks in the Australia. Quite rare we get to witness brutal acts of violence in the public space. But once we do, it definitely shocked us as a nation
@@Nakki1305 Exactly. There is footage of the guy in the Westfield, which I absolutely regret seeing, but.. people being stabbed didn't even seem to clearly understand what was happening at first. You have the odd attacks at peoples homes but usually between with people who know one another. Not public. This just isn't something we expect here.. or expect to have to fear.
Yes, it's absolutely shocking. We don't see our society as violent. No offence but we see the US gun deaths as violence that apparently is acceptable to US citizens because of your gun laws that no-one will change. I'm so glad our gun laws were changed weeks after our worst shooting massacre in 96. I wish no-one in either country had to go through public attacks and killings. Take care.
@@the.office.alliance4736 I think part of people not realising what was happening is also that Westfield just put on a general "evacuate" announcement like a fire alarm. There was no specific warning/siren/announcement for "mass murderer on the loose", so people just assumed it was a regular evacuation for something that wasn't super serious. Ofc, our lack of expectation that mass murderers will be running around our shopping centres in the first place played a huge part in people's reactions too; I imagine in the US even without a specific announcement, they'd probably assume it was something like that just because it's so common there.
Our schools have specific drills/announcements for the unlikely event that a potentially armed offender is on school grounds (code black, usually), perhaps public places should have this kind of thing too. I'm sure the incident response procedure will come up in the coronial inquest and suggestions for how to improve it will be made.
Whilst it was a single knife, it wasn't just like, a regular ol' kitchen knife. The specific details of the knife haven't been released yet, but the killer's father told reporters that his son owned a number of US combat knives, and witnesses described the knife as being 20 - 30cm long. It is likely it was a large combat knife, which would explain how much damage he was able to do - combat knives are designed to inflict as much damage as possible. These types of knives are illegal to carry in public in Australia, but not illegal to personally own and possess, though I wonder if that may be something that changes now.
as an australian, the recent stabbings have been so heartbreaking and honestly terrifying. it's so difficult to imagine someone going out and committing violence as such a large scale because it truly does not happen that often here. however, whenever the topic comes up in conversation it always ends up leading to 'can you image what this man could have done if he had access to a gun'. i can't imagine how many more lives could have been lost if we didn't have such strict gun laws in australia, it's honestly sickening to think about. such a horrible situation.
You can imagine, actually. Just look at America. Mass shootings happen nearly every month here, and most people (like me) have given up any hope of restricting gun rights at all. The politicians dont give a single shit, being fed money from the NRA while the gun fetishists just make up excuses. Ive become so desensitized that i just turn off the news when i hear about another shooting. It could always be worse…
yes I agree! another aussie here and I thought this too hearing the news from Bondi. it happened before I was even born but I am so thankful for the gun recall and response we had after Port Arthur. I hope we can be a sort of “poster child” with gun control for the rest of the world. our approach worked even for the most conservative of conservatives, gun control is possible.
The sad thing is, the gun lobby in the USA will try to spin this as an argument to have guns, that if a bystander had a gun they could have shot him. Not realizing that if a bystander had a gun so would that kid and many many more would be dead.
@@Lara-42069 Australia is a good example of proper gun control to me as a Canadian! Our countries are very similar and it’s clear to see the effect australia has had on violent crime with restricting guns. Mass shootings aren’t common here in Canada either because of restrictions. It’s possible, but difficult to get anything more than a shotgun or rifle.
I do wish some restrictions weren’t in place like that we are allowed to carry pepper spray, especially as women in Canada. But overall it’s not too bad.
Can you imagine what this man might have done if he had access to decent mental healthcare? We did this
Australian here and a Sydney sider. We have been having more and more violence against woman. And absolutely terrifyingly increase of random attacks against women
Our media is also just feeding into the hate. Chanel 7 went ahead and named the wrong man as the attacker before the police even verified the attacker
And with the church stabbing, i live a short drive for that and all night heard the helicopters going to the scene all night You could feel the distrust in the air this morning.
Australia has this sun loving easy going persona but we are deeply racist and hateful. We hide it behind jokes but the way things are actively changing and you can feel it its alarming.
With the pressures of the world, no wonder why people are cracking it
As a Women in Melbourne I have also noticed an increase of violence towards women. Over the past year I’ve had men more likely to abuse me, take swings at me on the street for no apparent reason and just last Friday, terrifyingly I was grabbed on my way to work, I was able to push them off but they followed me all the way, abusing me for bumping into one of them, wearing a beanie and AirPods, along with anything else that came to mind. People truely seem to be cracking up and it’s absolutely terrifying how quickly and violently they are reacting.
When Phil was talking about the Calmara story and said "that's the just tip...." I couldn't help but shout out one of my favorite "Archer" lines..." PHRASING!" It fit so well 😏
My heart absolutely shattered watching the father of this young man struggling with so much mental health instability. Calling his own son a monster repeatedly and that help loved and loves him still is so gut wrenching. This poor man is living a nightmare and is incredibly brave for speaking so openly from his broken soul to victims of his son's actions. I hope he heals as well as can be expected, and I also hope that the world continues to learn from these events so we can prevent them in better ways.
He was 40 years old. I am not disagreeing with your sentiment but the attacker was not a "boy", he was a middle aged man who attacked people. We cannot infantalise this. I get the dad saying "boy" because its his son but this was not some late stage teen, the man was established, middle aged, and still did this.
@@FaithTheFallen because we as a nation failed him. We need to own our ongoing failure to HELP people with mental health issues, they dont want this any more than we do.
I have been running rare disease communities for over a decade, i have heard some stories, but talking to my (highly qualified) support workers about the gulf between what i receive as a physically disabled person (and the associated trauma), and the struggles of people with even severe psychosocial disorders to receive any meaningful help, its just heartbreaking.
He could have been contributing to the community. How much more is picking up the pieces going to cost us, than just helping everyone would have?
@@mycosys that's nothing to do with my comment, actually. I don't disagree with you but it is still infantalising to call a 40 year old man a boy, and it is infantalising and minimising to say someone with MH or pyschosis should be treated like a child. Again, I know the dad did it because it's his son. But they are an adult and yes they 100% should have support and help but it is *reductive* to frame it like they're a lost little kid. They are an adult with adult pressures, needs, and dignity. It is deminishing the problem to reduce it down to "they can't help it" and not "repeated systemic failure pushed them to the point where this was an options and the sudden break off meds actualised it" (or whatever we discover is the issue here).
I live in Australia but not in Sydney and the stabbing is horrific to everyone. People around me actually can't listen to any news on the radio at work because they start to cry just thinking about it. Especially regarding the woman who sacrificed herself for her baby. It makes me think that we react this way to one incident but then look to the US and see the amount of mass shootings. It is unfathomable to us.
There are also conversations online from gun activists in the US saying if someone in the shopping centre had a gun, then they could have stopped him or he wouldn't have tried. But if he managed to get a gun, the death toll would be much higher.
That’s something that gun rights activists always conveniently forget. If the good guys are allowed guns, so are the bad guys, and normally the bad guys are sporting illegal modifications to increase the death toll as much as possible. Sure, you can take him out, but he would have taken out so many more.
It’s such a sensitive issue, and it 100% starts with better mental health resources. The fact that some generations and cultures hold so fast to the idea that therapy is for the weak (my dad feels this way about his own mental health) is devastating for society.
It’s sad to say but being surrounded by such an intense level of violence for a long period of time, you become numb to it. I’d say today I try not to think about because I’m weak. I feel like no matter what the wrong people are winning in this country. I fear having to send my children to school or go outside. I also don’t want to raise my child deprived of experience. I feel stuck and lost. What’s right? What’s wrong? Do we move countries? That’s kind of where I’m headed in my thoughts but I’d be leaving one child behind if I did that…
Well for Australia I think it is actually giving me a lot of hope how people react and cry, and how the father of his son can speak on the matter and even apologise for it.
For the US, I am just hit with a compassion fatigue, like a very nasty feeling of "why have you guys not started to change something about this situation that ended up ending peoples lives in such a violent way?"
@@AmbiguousProxythe bad guys don't need to be "allowed" to have guns. do you live in the uk or australia? gangs can smuggle firearm parts, print firearms or modify antiques because they are criminals. the majority of gun deaths are always from gangs and suicides.
@@nuwcz that’s incorrect. Using 2022 as an example, 54% of deaths involving a gun were suicide. Only 43% were related to murder and while there isn’t a lot of data on what proportion of those are gang related, I would assume at a large amount of that 43% of murder deaths are related to domestic and family violence incident.
Regardless of how you cut the cake, Australian gun regulations not only reduced the amount of gun related deaths per capita and also prevents the level of mass shootings that are seen in places like the US.
It baffles me how any sane person can feel safe knowing that almost anyone around them could have a gun and could use it at any moment. Wild 🤯
I don’t know how you’re doing it. But. I can’t express how much I appreciate the ability to minimize the vid and still see and hear while being able to do other things. Thank you
Imagine when the AI STI detector turns out to be 1000 people in India who have to review 70% of all the photos and make up what STI they can identify 😂
:c this is too real
It's heartbreaking to hear about the stabbings, but that father has my immediate empathy. He has the appropriate response to their child doing something horrendous. I have no doubt at this time, that he did the best he could with the resources available to him. His son was a monster, but the father appears to not be a monster, just a grieving father. We need better resources, not just for people with sick minds, but also for those around them, doing everything they can to hold it all together. I feel sorry for that man.
Agreed. I've seen so many self-centered parents of shooters here in the US but he's clearly actually heartbroken. And he feels some sense of responsibility to comment on it despite him still being in shock.
That really broke my heart. You hear about shootings and stabbings a lot here in America but you never see the parent of the perpetrator go on tv and speak like that. I am not much of a cryer but this broke me.😢💔
My heat got out to that father and of course to the victims and their families as well.
He apologize to the victims of his son's attack and credited the officer who shot his son. No doubt he truly feels so guilty for his son's actions and ashamed as a parent for not doing more to help his son's mental health. I sympathize him a lot
@@KiahRenamae Yeah, his parents were the ones to actually call the police and tell them it was their son after they saw the footage. They wanted to help them identify him and what happened.
He mentioned he'd taken weapons off him previously. He really did try.
As an australian, violence against women is a huge issue in australia right now. Three women in Ballarat were murdered just within a few months. Then not long after after we hear about the rally against gendered violence in Ballarat we get the news about the Bondi stabbing, it's terrifying. All the women I know are talking about it and we are all worried. Many women I know are too scared to refuse men's advances in case they react violently.
This shit needs to change.
Edit: Ballarat not Bendigo 🤦♀️ sorry about that
It’s scary tbh. It’s a huge issue in this country.
I did just want to clarify that it was in Ballarat, not Bendigo.
the whole atmosphere around ballarat has completely shifted. it just feels off to live here now
You can ban the gun but you cannot ban the man.
Its fucked here. More than 1 woman a week on average so far this year, which is right on par for last year too. Something is deeply wrong here. There’s an undeniable link between alcohol abuse and spousal abuse, but God forbid you criticise getting on the piss as an Australian 🙄
Violence against men is an even bigger issue, with more victims.
Glad you're finally doing a sponsor hub, so many times I finally decide to join or buy from a sponsor and have to try searching for a video where they were a sponsor to get to code. Happy to support the show and hopefully this makes it easier to do so when we can afford to do so.
Thank you for speaking about this Phil. As an Australian woman these are incredibly frightening times. My heart breaks for my fellow Australians. Especially those in NSW. Stay strong 💔😪
They mad cause he gave an honest ethical review?!?? Ain't no way the title even has "For now" in it are we serious?
This is crazy
MKBHD is not alone - every reviewer is stomping on the AI Pin. It's just wrong to blame Marques, plus, he's only giving his honest review like everyone else.
A bot closer stole your comment. CatherineSWittrock. I'm reporting it, just letting you know
The Australian dad showing his grief breaks my heart and is the reason why the US is the last remaining 1st world country to have attacks like this, daily. This stabbing sucks for the victims, the parents of the attacker, the attacker for the lack of mental help and the country as a whole. In the US it immediately shifts to "he was exercising his 2nd ammendment right" or "it's those darn video games."
Showing compassion and acknowledging that these are no win situations is how you actually work to prevent them from ever happening again
My heart goes out to the victims of the stabbing, but also to the father. It was hard to watch, without crying myself, his emotional apologies, when it truly wasn't hit fault. He tried his hardest, did everything he could for his son, and now he has to deal with the grief from the loss of a son and the nagging thought of "could I have done more?" I would probably be more tearful and inconsolable if I was in his shoes. I pray for everyone involved.
I’m an American that has been living in Australia since I was a kid, and I wanted to add something I don’t think many people are aware of. Australian’s have something called mateship. You can also describe it is as connection. A sense of camaraderie. I know you’ll jump to thinking ‘every country has it’ but it’s more than anything I’ve ever experienced elsewhere. Sometimes it looks like those protestors, sometimes it’s offering financial/physical aid, sometimes it’s dressing up in your best attire to take your bins out during covid (if you know you know) but it’s always inward, always emotional. They have it for the victims and the families of the victims, but they also have it for the family of the one who committed the crime. They have it for all those that witnessed it firsthand and the first responders. All the hospital staff and the psychologists that will help years into the aftermath. However, it’s not just for those that experienced it. It’s also for the parents and teachers who have to explain it to their children. It’s for anyone and everyone to shoulder at the same time. As a collective, they ARE each other’s pain. Sometimes they disagree with how others go about their mateship, but one way or another, they ALL do it. They have decided that when they fall, they will fall together... and when they get back up, they make sure everyone else gets up too.
I was just able to look up what mateship was about in Australia because I've never heard it before. Thank you for sharing or may have never heard it.
What a load of bs, you're just basically fetishizing Australians
Aussie here, thank you for describing a cornerstone of our country so beautifully and completely. Mateship gets co-opted by politicians and people with an agenda, so it brings me so much joy to see the concept so clearly understood. It's also wonderful to hear an outside perspective on mateship since it's almost innate for us
Aussie born and raised here, can confirm. It's instilled in us from childhood that even if you dislike someone on a personal level, at the end of the day we're all human and if you see someone who needs help, if you can do anything you should step up and help. Whole communities will come together to help each other and defend each other.
The suburb where I was raised, during covid, the little family-owned corner store stayed open and became everyone's lifeline. Everyone already respected the bloke, he and his family have owned that shop for decades; a few substitutes for a year or two here and there but he's always come back. I think if it weren't for him and his wife and kids working their fucking asses off to stay open for those years, a lot more people in that suburb would have been in trouble. They did their best to keep prices as low as they could and were more than happy to take on IOUs for those in need. I'm pretty sure that if anyone ever gave him and his family trouble, the entire suburb would hunt that person down lol.
That's what mateship is to me and I'm glad that we have this social culture here. It really showed in the way people risked their lives to try and tend to the wounded. And that hero of a security guard who died trying to stop him, the lifeguard, the people who ran up to try to block his entrance into stores. Legends.
Australia isn't perfect by any means, we have our issues like any other place but the way people will come together to lift each other up is what makes me proud to be Aussie 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
I just want to give that dad a hug. I feel so heartbroken for him, and for the families of the victims. What an awful tragic thing to happen, and the church attack too.
Yes, this!!! We always try to look out for each other, regardless of if we know the person or not. We don 't do "thoughts and prayers" here, we try and be more proactive in our treatment of people. We try to do our best by each other here.
There goes Phil randomly adding the monkey intro again 🗿

I honestly love the suspense of not knowing if an episode is going to have the chimp intro
As a Brit, I will say that in 2017, it felt like the entire country was on high alert in regards to any terror attacks. I'd just turned 17 when the Manchester arena bombing happened and I remember regularly talking with friends about what we'd do in event of a bombing and whether we were at high risk of it in the couple of years preceding the attack. It was so present every day that we would joke about it, and my drama teacher told us to devise a piece on IS as part of a lesson.
Though that wasn't countrywide, in 2015 through 16, pretty much every school in my local area received at least one bomb threat. It was in the news everyday and everyday, you'd be thinking _is this the day we get one?_ or _is this the day it's not a hoax?_ It became so commonplace that one of the schools stopped evacuating off of the school premises because they'd gotten so many, and by the time my school got one, teachers were so prepared for it that I got told off for walking on the grass as we evacuated from a school that might have had a bomb in it.
That dad is entirely correct when he said the whole country was on high alert; we were and so when the bombing happened wasn't at all out of nowhere. It was horrifying, but it didn't feel shocking.
London Bridge attack, Westminster Bridge Attack, Finsbury Park Attack all in 2017 too, & Grenfell Tower too. Pretty awful year.
Having worked in health care, mainly mental health. I understand where the father is coming from, I've seen it first hand with a lot of patients and their caregivers, who have to try and navigate their loved ones mental illness and all the instances that come from it. It's hard for both the person and their loved ones. At the end of the day what happened is a tragedy and the father was doing what he could to help his son through his mental illness. My heartbreaks for those affected and for the lives lost, but I also do feel for the father.
As an Aussie i can say we are all im shock and absolutely devastated by the events of the weekend.
The situation was a mix of horror, shock, immense grief, but it was also heartwarming to hear of the hereos who did what they could when they could. Some even ran right up to him to prevent him fron going into stores and such.
Sometimes there just arent enough words
One of the victims was Faraz Tahir, a Pakistani refugee on his first day as a security guard. Just breaks me on so many levels, but really reminds me how much diversity is our strength.
so do you now ban all knives as you all did guns? because you know "knives kill people" just like "guns kill ppl" /sarcasm
@@BNezzy The only purpose a gun has is killing. Knives have uses apart from stabbing people. /truth
@@BNezzy Knives in their creation were intended to be used for many things, like carving, cooking, weaving, weapon, etc. It is also limited in its reach and scope, meaning you have the potentiality of getting your butt beat by someone with fight training even if they are unarmed. Not to mention it takes significantly more energy and time to get even remotely similar results. Guns on the other hand have absolutely no use other than killing. I understand the argument in hunting and property protection in rural areas where wild life could be a potential threat (and obviously in certain kinds of policing), but aside from those narrow and limited uses, there is literally no use for a guns other than death and destruction. You cannot cook with a gun, you cannot carve with a gun, you most certainly can't weave with a gun. It is also long range, so you are not even required to be seen to take a life and leaves little to no room for defense, even in circumstances with other "good" guns. Not to mention the sheer number of people you can kill with little to no time or energy using some widely available guns in the US. These things are not equal in the discussion for banning and/or regulation.
I'm in Sydney, Australia, and something people forget is it's not just the doctors, nurses and paramedics that interact with the victims in a health setting. Anyone who died or dies going forward from this incident is then taken to the Coroner's Morgue for examination and possible autopsy as well. The technicians and pathologists are exposed to the worst cases where they couldn't be saved or help was too late. I'm studying a program that leads to directly to working in a Forensic Mortuary setting, and something like this is extremely confronting, but the work we do is so important for closure for the families and the communities. We can't change what happened, but we can try and change the outcome for the future through coronial inquests and recommendations to the government. This isn't over - its going to be YEARS till the full inquest is completed, but I hope for now some comfort can come to the families of the deceased victims that their family members are being treated with the utmost respect and dignity they deserve.
We can change things by properly funding mental healthcare. We failed this guy and all the victims.
@@mycosys Couldn't have said It better myself.
@@mycosys I would allow carrying a gun in public for people who pass back ground checks in Australia

"Lex Luthor from Wish" PHIL!!! 😩🤣
My heart breaks for Australia. I’m so very sorry for your loss and trauma. I hope you surround each other with love and strength.
As someone has been living in Australia for 12 years. Events like the Bondi Junction stabbing are very, very rare. My partner and i commented that things would have been worse if the assailant had a gun. Also, i think the media should have left the parents of the assailent alone. If they wanted to have a press conference, then go to them for a comment. It's a terrible tragedy on all fronts😢
I've found most of the post-incident interviews really unsettling, and kinda exploitative. I definitely think the media needs to take a step back from the parents.
I was so angry on behalf of that father. He should have had a family representative make an official statement and keep him safe. That poor, heartbroken soul. I send that father all my strength
If your kid stabbed a baby... too bad, ... the media will devour you. glad this is rare in Australia, living in the US, these numbers dont even make the news anymore... this world sucks... 🤒

Regardless of if it was a bot or a real person who posted this, what if it was a real person? Do you not think at all about how saying something like that to someone who has experienced that extreme situation could affect them?
It also makes you look like a duck bro
As an Australian hearing about the stabbing as it was happening was crazy. In Australia it is true that we need way better mental health support, it can be so expensive, all the harm that could have been avoided if the man had of just been able to continue getting the help he really needed
Here's the line where AI needs to stop. For the AI developers, you're not a doctor; you're a programmer. Your AI isn't a doctor. It's a program that filters reality through code. For everyone else, just go to the doctors. No one will judge you, and it is important to get checked, especially before starting your next intimate relationship. As long as you have the most basic health care or even free health care, you can get an STD check appointment, possibly on the exact SAME day. As well as have the options to be able to follow up any treatment, that an app 100 percent will make it more difficult to do.
As an Aussie, and a new dad, my heart breaks for everyone that is suffering. I cant imagine how horrific this is for those that survived, and the families of everyone involved. I have kept away from news about this attack, because I just start crying whenever I hear it.
I also have nothing but love and respect for the attackers family. They not only lost a son, but will know forever that he was responsible for such a terrible act. I hope they can find privacy and peace. They seem like really good people.
"Lex Luthor from Wish"
Damn Phil not even a full restore would heal that burn.
Thank you for saying what I wanted to
I live in Western Australia and the story of the Bondi stabbing is affecting everyone nationwide. Especially those of us working in retail, there's this common feeling of unease and just not feeling safe enough on the day to day.
Hey Phil, just wanted to say I love you, and I was really looking forward to your new episode after my first day at my new job. Thanks and much love from AZ!
The crap thing about the Sydney stabbings was that it was the first day of school holidays. The centre would have been packed with parents and kids. It’s a difficult centre to navigate at the best of times and many people need to visit several times to really orient themselves. It’s also an area with a high visitor/temporary worker population.
The coverage of the incident was heinous from channel 7 and 9. Shoving a camera in the faces of the two brothers who saved the little baby girl was awful. There was no blurring early on just full open shots of people dying. Zero empathy from our commercial news stations. Channel 7 also named the wrong perpetrator and that poor kid got trolled and harassed over it for a full day forcing our government to name the actual perpetrator when they hadn’t wanted to. Horribly handled by them. The whole thing has had me in tears the last few days. The poor family of the Chinese student who will never see her come home, not to mention the father who is sitting beside his daughter hoping she will pull through. Devastating.
Gotta agree, Fitzy and whipper with Kate Richie were interviewing a guy on Monday morning and he said the word 'and then I saw the security guard who he just sliced' and I felt like I was losing my mind. There is no need for radio show comedians to be interviewing an eye witness to the attack at 7am on Monday morning. Genuinely horrific.
Totally agree. Channel 7 also had the wrong guy in 2021 when baby Cleo was kidnapped. Just casually ruining people's lives so they can be in first. I hope they get sued into oblivion. Also, there was a weird sense of entitlement surrounding this incident, people wanting immediate information and demanding all the details of the perpetrator just hours after it all happened. And news media fed into it by doing horrible post-incident interviews with clearly traumatised people, and showing footage of victims before they're families could have been contacted. Awful.
I had a boss who said:
"If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit."
I've always applied that to Phil's idea of blind confidence.
Funny thing, I had a 'boss' that had a poster in his office with that on it. I think I saw that on a bar one time too. 🤘😁
My dad used to say "Bullshit Baffle's Brains" and it has been such a guide for me. Not only knowing that I can just bullshit myself through situations, but also be aware that others are trying the same thing and watch out for it.
I’m used to these types of stories now and can feel hardened, but the story of the mother doing everything she could to save her baby has me bawling.
"That the middle east is quote, "Rated T for Teen","... Bad timing for an ad to pop up lol
Weird that countries that get support from Iran are always considered Iranian proxies yet Israel isn’t considered a US proxy despite it being propped up by the US and would be hamstrung without it.
the difference is israel doesnt attack on BEHALF of the us, its supported by the us.
hamas,hezbollah and the houthis are DIRECTED by iran to attack israel
The country of Israel only exists because of America. It’s literally only there to give us intel on their neighboring counties which is the only reason our government is supporting them so hard. Israel is nothing without America.
That's because Israel is not doing the bidding of the United States.
Holy hell! That first stabbing in Australia that you talked about really hits home for me. I do a lot of forensic mental health work with folks in jail who have a mental illness. The way that father described his son rings in my mind every day. I go to work everyday and think about how every single one of my patients in jail was somebody's baby once. Each one was somebody's pride and joy. It really puts what the families of those with serious mental health issues go through into perspective. My heart goes out to all of the victims, their families, and even the attacker's family. So sad.
Well said
I'm in the process of writing my bachelor on Digital Health and Privacy, and there are NO framework for healthcare application! Neither for mobile apps nor wearable medical devices. Not in the US, not in EU, nowhere! The framework used today, are frameworks made for computers with totally different methods of communicating. (sending/getting information) In addition that the current laws all over the world can't keep up with the rapid development and growth within the digital\tech domain
The story of the boy who killed those people had me ugly crying at work. I was already crying over the daughter who's mom gave her life to protect her, but then hearing the dad speak completely broke me. Having to deal with the loss of his son, mixed with the horror of his actions, and probably regret that he didn't do more or couldn't help him before it turned to this.
Listening to the father of that killer hit me especially hard “how do you love a monster” I’ve been grappling with this question for a few days now. This past weekend someone who I considered one of my best friends decided that before he ended his own life he was going to take the life of his friend with him because of an affair they were having with his partner of 9 years. Both of these people were well respected leaders in the automotive enthusiast community here. It’s torn a lot of us apart. Most people understandably are expressing lots of anger because of his actions. But this anger is also being directed to anyone like myself who are struggling with the fact that our friend committed this heinous act after he had spent years building up our community and doing so many amazing things. I hate what he choose to do in his final moments. But he was still my friend and there are still almost ten years of memories with him. This whole ordeal has felt like the worst nightmare I could ever image 😢
One of the most important things I've learned in therapy is that you are allowed to experience *all* those feelings and that they are absolutely valid. You are allowed to be angry at someone who isn't alive anymore, while at the same time feeling sympathy for the horrible pain your friend must have been in to do something like this. You are allowed to love him and hate his actions. You are also allowed to hate him. Furthermore, you are also allowed be be angry at your friend for ending his life like this. There are no wrong feelings in a situation like this.
Whatever other people might say, your feelings are valid and important.
I'm really sorry that you are going through this. It's horrific. Please make sure to prioritize your well-being and emotional health. If that means disconnecting for a while, that is absolutely okay.
@@mejuliie I really appreciate this response, I’ve been trying my best to navigate these emotions, I have my psychologist appointment coming up soon I’ll have a lot to unload from all this 😭

Dang. That father saying “how do you love a monster”. I felt that as someone who mourned a family member who has done bad things. That man must have so much guilt and sorrow for everything his son did. I hope all the victims get better soon.
As an australian, the stabbing in sydney is running all over the news here atm. But shout out to his parents. They have handled this with the most empathy and compassion for the victims and the officer. They contacted the police when they recognised him on the news and wished the police officer who shot their son well and they hoped she and the other wintesses were doing okay with the trauma they had to witness. Its a shit situation all round.
The only man killed was a security guard who was trying to protect people. It was his first day on the job
Was there ever a single time where the US intervening in any way or “teaching someone a lesson” has ever paid off or made the lives of anyone other than the military contractors or political elites better ?
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Though I do think the overall threat of US intervention has prevented worldwide escalation through much of the last 7 decades, with smaller hostilities occurring as opposed to large scale. And it pains me to admit that as an opponent of US intervention. I'm more of an isolationist in that I think the US needs to save the money and spend it elsewhere(healthcare, retirement, etc) and keep a smaller but formidable defense force and let the rest of the world fight their own battles.
Nope.

@@thomaswillard6267 alright, you got a point there, I’ll give you that lol.
@@thomaswillard6267even that lead to profiteering by our government and launched this country into the age we're in now, where our county is a police force that uses conflict to spread influence and bring in revenue for our corporations.
I live fifteen minutes away from the Sydney stabbings, it's been surreal having that kind of violence so close home. Thanks for covering it 💜 lots of interesting conversation about the intersection between mental health and violence. As a mental health worker it hits very close to home. Schizophrenia doesn't make people violent, fam ✌️ most of the violence people with mental health experience is directed towards them from others. Take care of yourselves and each other x
This is great advice and information coming from a mental health worker. Thanks for sharing.
The Manchester bombing is one of those events that will never leave me. I remember being at a vigil for the Pulse shooting, and at that moment I just felt a wave of dread, worried that something was going to happen in Manchester. I remember seeing this guy who was a regular in the gay bar where I worked, he was hugging his friend and bawling his eyes out, and that was the image of the Pulse vigil that was burned into my brain as my memory from that event.
The next year, that same guy, Martyn Hett, was killed in the Manchester bombing. Also taken from the world by ISIS, just like those people he was crying for.
The most sickening part is, while I was having these thoughts and suffering from this dread, Salman Abedi was just across the street from where the vigil was held, in Gramby House, learning and assembling the bomb that would cause this tragedy. What should have just been paranoia was eerily true with hindsight.
So many of my friends were at that concert, I had just left Manchester a few months before the bombing, and I still feel a strange sense of survivors guilt over it. I wish I could have done something to stop it.
To know that MI5 could have done something to stop it and didn't, that's unforgivable.
As a man who went to rehab i can tell you that parents blame themselves for things they have no control over. He didn't raise a monster. Its heartbreaking to see but i know that Dad takes all the responsibility as well as the heartbreak. just a horrible situation.
I cannot tell you how many times I've heard the argument that if we take away fire arms, people will do the same with knives. I cannot imagine what the scene would have been like if he were armed with a gun.
And then people try to counter "but if everyone had guns he'd be stopped immediately". Ignoring people's nak for cowardice, the fact the dude could still let loose a whole magazine before anyone could arm themselves, and the extremely high likelihood that once shooting starts enough people will panic and start shooting at anyone they think could be the one who started it
Imagine what it would have been like if there were good folks with guns. Like security guards could have stopped so much useless loss of life. Regardless of what anyone thinks. If you take away guns (fine) If you take away knives (fine) take away cars (fine) its a slippery slope. Because anything in the wrong hands can be wielded like hammers, bricks, trees, rocks, rope, razor blades, syringes.. The point is.. a sick person who has no value on life will find a way to harm others. So logically speaking.. Its best to arm those with good hearts rather than taking away liberties in hopes to protecting. To further my point of view. Lets say your country gets invaded by whom ever. The military can't be everywhere all the time. There is power in numbers. And if the government are the only ones with the guns.. then who's going to protect those who get stormed by some rogue force of bad folks who don't care about the law and obtain firearms or explosives illegally.
@@gg_sam7847 Thats a wild take. The moment you start taking away the right to defend yourself is the moment you have situations like this. Is it not better to arm those who are willing to understand owning and carrying firearms? As someone who's been around firearms my whole almost 50 years on this earth. I've never been shot. I don't trust anyone to come and save me in a milisecond of someone losing their value of other lives. Imagine how fast it could have been de-escalated if the security guards were allowed to carry guns. Bad people don't care about laws.. You can outlaw anything. Bad people will still get whatever is outlawed. Look at all the drugs... You can't honestly believe that they are in their head saying... Oh its against the law. I don't want to do it. Nah, its more like.. Oh its illegal.. Let me get more power and money. Nature is very grim and gross, its either predator or prey. Which side would you rather be on? Im not trying to be argumentative. Just offering a different perspective. In any instance 10 good guys with guns is better odds than 3 bad guys with guns.
@@TwistedSenseexcellent response.
but that does happen though.
As a family doctor the calmara app is so crazy too me. I would worry that it would create a false sense of security. Oh "I'm okay i used this app". NO a majority of people are asymptomatic. AI can be used in medicine but physcians and other healthcare providers need to be involved.
Oh cool, I love that I should constantly be worried that I'm secretly ill despite feeling fine.
@@spectral__ That's why it's a good idea to get regular STI panels, but especially before being with a new partner. And even though it's uncomfortable to ask for, it's best for your health to get their results too. It's only asymptomatic until it's not, and the worst way to find out you have an STI is because your partner suddenly develops symptoms. Better to just have the blood test - then you don't have to constantly worry.
@@spectral__ That's why you pay money for a real blood test, and not some bullshit app trained on AI inbreed pics lmao
It’s been a tense few days here in aus. My heart breaks for the victims, families and everyone impacted by such a nonsensical loss of life.
Its times like these I’m so thankful for the rigorous gun control. I’ve seen so many americas reacting to this tragedy with “if only they had guns to fight back” and my brain cannot fathom how they come to that conclusion. Imagining the scale of what could’ve been done if he had had access to a gun is pretty much unthinkable.
Hey Phil, I'm almost certainly going to sub to the new website! But I was wondering if there is anything planned for the "and more" part of the subscription?
Plz bring back vlogs I miss the team ❤️
You know last Saturday I thought I was having a bad day. I was Bondi Westfield trying to do some shopping. Nothing was working. I couldn’t find what I needed, made several mistakes and in the end was frustrated and annoyed.
I walked back and forth in the area trying to motivate myself to continue. I even got myself some bubble tea as motivation. I wanted to go in and just casually shop, but in the end I made the decision to leave because I was too annoyed and tired.
Legit 40 mins later the stabbings happened in the areas that I had planned to shop. So I no longer considered that day to be unlucky. I was very, very lucky.
My heart goes out to all who had to experience that tragedy, I hope the families of the victims can recover…I can never imagine the despair and grief that they’re going through.
How do you love a monster? Give birth to him...
I am so sorry that man has to live his life feeling that way... absolutely heartbreaking.
Truly melted my heart and made me cry. Anyone we know could have something horrible break inside of them and do something awful. Usually it’s just someone cheating on their partner one time or getting into a pub brawl, but for others it can be so so much worse. Terrifying.
"Lex Luthor from Wish"... Dead 😂
Click on the video for the MKBHD, but stayed for the Australian news, first I'm hearing of the horrible incident 😢
I’m not a tech person, but the couple of times I watch a MKBHD review, he always focuses on user experience for tech people and casuals like me!
The Bondi stabbing was awful. I'd been there earlier in the day and my sister was still in the area at the time (though not at the Westfield's thankfully.) It shocked me because you just don't hear about this stuff happening here so having a brutal attack take place so close to home, literally in my case, was a scary moment for sure.
Sending love from the eastern suburbs x scary times
frightening, take care of yourself and family
Glad you and your sister were ok.
It is ok to love a son, acknowledging and not defending the horrible things he did is important while you love that son. I hope the victims, families, and the guy's father find rest and peace.
It has been years since I last watched @PhilioDefraco show. Very impressed with the amount of research that went into the video and the nitty-bitty details that he included, which we otherwise would not know. Show his extreme dedication and commitment to his passion. He has aged though, it was kind of shocked. When I last watched him, he was young looking guy but that has changed (I, myself, have changed during this time). I will be watching more of your shows from now on.
As someone living with HPV, treatment and current tests are essential. Get yourself checked regularly and don't feel bad about it
The stigma behind getting tested , and the stigma behind managing these problems needs to cease. Its important to have conversations about HPV and other conditions , its important to be aware of them. Good comment my friend.
I have it and in my mid twenties already had signs of pre cancer and had to have multiple biopsies and treatment. Most people think hpv is the "good" sti. Others even get genital warts from it which is another consequence
Because of work I get tested every 6 months and am always happy when they come back negative. Wrap it if you gonna tap it
@@cindygr8ce How is ANY sti/std the "good sti/std"? Theres someone we know who had died from getting it in her throat and it was way too late by time they caught it. Testing and discussion is SO important
Get tested of course but HPV isn't gonna show up on test for a good bit while you can still have it and spread it. if you have any kinda wart, you shouldn't be touching people regardless of what your tests say. "it's just a skin tag" tf? you hear that shit, you fuckin run.
Anyone else's jaw drop at seeing NOT ONLY States where there are no felony statutes for revenge porn, but States where there are ZERO revenge porn laws? Just me? Well, fuck.
25:50 “Blind confidence Trumps everything…” Is the best use of that particular verb (name) I’ve ever come across 😂
25:50 best PDS moment for me. I always think that people will find out I'm just that poor kid with little education and am realize I am under qualified, but then I look around me and see most people don't care or don't know what their doing... Never faked it, just worked hard and pushed through. So yeah 100% Phil!
Listening to the father of the Bondi attacker made my heart hurt. He clearly loved his son, but sometimes parental love just isn't enough to keep a person from doing terrible things.
I wish things could have been different for everyone in this situation. It's just so heartbreaking.
I work at a sexual wellness clinic in Palm Springs, and immediately when I do presentations with recovery centers, health events, and god forbid high schools that ask about calmara, I immediately tell them to take it all with a grain of salt. Anything that claimed it's that efficient off of just a picture with no swabs or anything else involved has to be a load of horseshit
Also the claim that pictures can't be used to identify people is a little dumb. Human genitalia are very unique from person to person, maybe not as apparently as faces, but pretty close.
“First, do no harm,” is from the Hypocratic Oath. If we were being pompous enough to see a tech reviewer as sharing responsibilities with a DOCTOR, then surely we should be seeing his first responsibility as being to us, the consumer? Not the tech companies?
As a Sydneysider it's just been so heart breaking about what happened on Saturday & then hearing another stabbing happened Monday night just worries me more might happen.
The interviews of the father are so heart breaking. Also annoying how the news is trying to get the first story no matter what. Channel 7 news named the wrong man & this guy & his family got so many threats. So I hope he sues.
Australia has a big racist, violence against women & mental illness issue. When it broke about the stabbing multiple people started saying it was someone who was Muslim. Women are being killed at an alarming rate so knowing it was mainly women who were killed break my heart.
I very much appreciate the footage of the attacker’s father. Humanity as a society is always very quick to demonize the villains and ANYONE associated to them. We forget the REPEATED lesson that our monsters are people and often we either make them or fail to prevent them, and that failure is not always from lack of effort or love. The father is horrified and broken and will have to find the strength to live with the fact that this killer he abhors and the child he loved from the second he held him in his arms are the same person.
I feel for the father, he is a victim too. And I can say that while not taking any compassion from those killed because there is no limit to humanity’s capability for compassion.
