A horror night for Australia. But the acts of Australians from all walks of life to protect and help shows this nation is much stronger than those who seek to divide us.
All love to those and their friends and family in shock and mourning today.

Ahmed Al Ahmed. That’s the name to remember from the tragedy in Bondi. The unarmed HERO who wrestled a gun away from one of the shooters and probably saved dozens more lives. Give that man an OAM #bondi

Cannot really begin to describe how fucking heartbreaking it is. A mass shooting in my old home.
I know the world sees Australia as a gun control best-case but that was a long time ago and the gun lobby has been winning its fight against those laws

Australia’s gun lobby says it’s ‘winning’ the fight against firearm control as numbers surge
There are now more than 4m guns in the community – almost double the number recorded in the years after the Port Arthur massacre that prompted a national crackdown

Any journalist who quotes Hanson on anything to do with yesterday without raising this isn't actually a journalist they are a propagandist for white supremacy

Another angle on #bondi: we might need to tighten our gun laws again.
If Pauline and Barnaby want these tragedies to end, they won't object, I'm sure ... 👀

![BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• "We are getting reports".
". could mean anything.
• "We are seeking confirmation".. means they don't have it.
• "[News outlet] has learned". means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

Maybe we were all too harsh on Sam Montembeault and Jakub Dobes.
Even prime Carey Price could’ve only done so much behind this Habs defense

Lane Hutson on the ice reminds me of when The Flash can just wander around and do whatever he wants because he moves at a different speed to everyone else. #gohabsgo

I remember writing a column about NHL refs managing games to keep the score close.
The year was 1994 and the Nordiques were playing the Rangers in the playoffs.
