Melbourne's Flagstaff station evacuated after busker is mistaken for gunman on train

Post by The Raven »

Train passengers 'in hysterics' as busker is mistaken for terrorist :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-28/ ... e/10947304

A commuter has described scenes of mass panic at Melbourne's Flagstaff station, where terrified passengers were in tears and calling relatives to tell them they loved them after a busker was mistaken for a gunman on a train.

Police said a musician, carrying an instrument in a duffel bag, was doing breathing exercises to prepare for his performance.

Another passenger deemed his behaviour suspicious and wrongly thought his instrument bag was a rifle case.

Oh FFS, overly sensitive snowflakes! The snowflakes should have been charged for public nuisance!

A similar PO'd moment watching Gogglebox when most of the families got all freaked out seeing people in the US with firearms.

Demonising firearms make nervous Nellie's a far greater risk than the firearms themselves.

I laughed at the bit were it said passengers were leaving the station in tears. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Media is seeing their crop of disinformation bear a bountiful return after all those years of fear mongering, got the sheeple exactly where they want them. First place the look for information is from the very media that has sown the crop, media makes more money from advertising, then make the news again, round and round it goes, like a whirlpool, with the cash spinning to the center where the media awaits with their grubby hands out raking it in with a shine in their evil eyes.

So to sum up today’s racist terrorist extravaganza, a young abo fella had a tactical didge in a bag.

That’s it. No more to see here.

The main terrorist had a shortened trumpet in a camo duffle bag....and breathed heavy.

Those Musician terrorists need to be deported back where they come from!

PS. The sky is falling.

What I can't figure out is why some Henny Penny was freaked out.

There's already so many freaks on trains he'd be the last thing to freak out about. So why would Henny Penny bother with trains?

I would have been more worried if he had a guitar case. Better fit me thinks. Bloody prescious!

Shhh, when I lived in a unit block I used a bass guitar soft case to fool prying eyes as I loaded the car.

One fella I met used to put his rifle case/s into a large wheeled golf bag - the type with the cover over the top. He said that if anyone asked he could truthfully say he was on his way to the "range".
