Permits to carry concealed weapons are rare. Police carry guns. Armored truck guards carry guns. Otherwise, carrying a gun on your person is illegal. If you have a gun license, you must store and transport it according to strict rules. You can't just carry it in your pocket.Hi Fixer.
Please don't take this the wrong way...I am just interested.
Looking at Australian New these last couple days, I've noticed that using a knife in an attack is not that uncommon.
Just at a guess...are there heavy gun restrictions in Australia...and this leads to knives being the next weapon of choice...?
See, already the news is going against the kid a la "knife wielding rampage" Church image being shaped as well. Kid will be charged.Teen accused of fatal Scientology stabbing opposed his mum undergoing ‘purification’
Daily Telegraph: Teen accused of fatal Scientology stabbing opposed his mum undergoing ‘purification’

The teenager who allegedly went on a knife-wielding rampage at the Church of Scientology, stabbing one member fatally in the neck and slashing another, was trying to stop his mother undergoing an intense “purification” process that claims to rid the body of drugs and toxins to reach a spiritual high.
The 16-year-old Chinese national, who was not a Church member, had begged his mother not to undergo the introductory Purification Rundown cleanse in an argument the night before, a source revealed.

The young man is currently undergoing a mental health assessment program at Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital before police will decide whether to charge him.
“His mother was inside the building undergoing a purification process and was told not to go outside. The son was not a member of Scientology and wasn’t happy about the cleansing course,” a source said. “They had argued about it the night before.”

I agree with you, they keep saying it is unrelated to Scientology but he didn't want her to do the purif. This is a PR stunt to divert attention away from Scientology.Good video info.
States the son was studying at the AO also....

It is related to the cult. It is part of the spin they get for spending 57 million.It has clearly been stated several times that the problem was that the kid did not want his mother to do the Purification Rundown.
How is this not related to the Cult?
There is plenty of information on the Web about the dangers of this Cult procedure.
Leland, yes. Because firearms are very restricted here, other weapons will come to the fore.Hi Fixer.

I concur. Said it better than I did...Permits to carry concealed weapons are rare. Police carry guns. Armored truck guards carry guns. Otherwise, carrying a gun on your person is illegal. If you have a gun license, you must store and transport it according to strict rules. You can't just carry it in your pocket.
There aren't that many knife attacks in Australia and very few shootings. It isn't like USA over here.
The idea that people want to shoot each other but can't so they carry guns is an alien idea to us in Aus. We just don't think like that. The second amendment style debates that are huge in the USA really don't exist in Australia and probably don't exist in the rest of the world.
There have been times gangs have carried knives and there has been crackdowns on knives by police to curb this. If people carry weapons, police and citizens consider it a problem.
My first thought when I think of a non gang related knifing is mental health issues or ISIS terror. Generally carrying a weapon for attack or self defense is considered extremely abnormal.
The police here usually don't give away too much info on an ongoing investigation unless they see benefits in doing so.<snipped>
The Police seem to be buying this shore story...and not reporting any information about what the kid's movements and Cult member movements were inside the AO complex.
My guess is that the media would have already tried to do so. Depends upon the info they are allowed to make public and what access they have to the defendant (probably nil, lawyer will do the talking) and undoubtedly, the church would have barred mother from making any comments.Where is the mother in relation to her son? I wonder if she has been to see him, tried to see him, is cooperating with police in the matter. I would think the news would play up the distraught mother worried about her "troubled" child. They could interview her without disclosing her/his identity. Over here she would be on the news trying to get help for her "troubled" child.
Is there a father in the picture - is he in as well? Never in? In the country or back home? Any siblings... again in/out/never/where?
As a child I was very upset about all the time the mother spent on course & in auditing. I never voiced it that I remember but I hated it. They got all her time, attention & most of the resources. When I had time with her it was spent talking about "IT" ... or trying to apply "IT".
I wish I could whisper in the ear of a few reporters as to the questions to ask.

Could you post a link to the video? Both videos?Here are 2 pics I grabbed from a News Video.
I believe this is the Mother...flanked by 2 female reporters, holding microphones.... (no hard info on if this is the mother or not....just guessing)
She is trying to get away. I believe this was taken on the day of the stabbing at the AO.
It sure looks like she is checking her phone in one of them....

Generally over here, if she is the mother she would have had her face blotted out to prevent ID until they were allowed to show it. There are some pretty strong laws about it regarding privacy. The media generally respect this.The identity of the Mother is probably protected as her ID would then potentially ID her underage son. ( whom I am sure is protected by laws....)
It is interesting per your personal experience above Miss Ellie, that these restrictions actually bind the Mother and the Child closer to the Cult....and its control, which resulted in a murder...than openly discussing this situation in public.
You're right...Generally over here, if she is the mother she would have had her face blotted out to prevent ID until they were allowed to show it. There are some pretty strong laws about it regarding privacy. The media generally respect this.
Some journos have been jailed for trying to side step this in the past.
Dang...I'll try to find it.Could you post a link to the video? Both videos?
