Trio behind deadly police shooting had 'delusional disorder', coroner finds
A Queensland coroner has found two police officers who were killed by extremists were "adequately equipped" yet "no match for an ambush", as he made recommendations to prevent another tragedy.

This determination is quite a surprise and problematically divorces ideologies from extremism & violence. I worry this confirms my suspicions that these types of worldviews are too easily flattened to delusions in some settings rather than dealt with in their true forms. 1/3

Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. “Can you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. “Baby is coming,” the friend replied. Four minutes later, Lopez asked again, “Can you grab [him]?” Another friend murmured, “Baby is safe.” Six minutes passed. Again, Lopez asked, “Can you grab [him]?” Continue reading...
