Look in the fucking mirror everybody!! This is the solution.
Look and see the shooter looking back at you, you are a shooter too.
Do you side with any side in any war or conflict around the world? Even those defending themselves? Yes? You are radicalised friend, you accept sending your brothers and sisters to places to kill your sisters and brothers, you are fucking radicalised, accept it. You are the same as the shooter at Bondi and every school shooting in America.
Do you react to shit in your body? Force yourself onto others for making you feel this and that? Again, radicalised my friend.
What about understanding for the shooter, rehabilitation? No? Really, no? You call yourself an advocate for peace and you say no? Somehow you are still arguing that you are not radicalised, how do you say no?
You say no because you do not and almost nobody understands rehabilitation. It is horrible, the most painful of painful shit, the acceptance of yourself and what you have done to the world, especially with your belief systems.
This shit is whack, it is all the same. Believing people killing people for any reason is the same belief system wide, no matter the words you put to it. Your belief is the same shit that led this young man to do the most cowardly of cowardly shit. A coward he will have to face in order to find rehabilitation, he will want to kill himself, beg for it but it will be nowhere, not where he will be kept, he will need to live and feel all the pain he inflicted.
That pain has not only shattered the Jewish and Muslim communities again, it has shattered milllions upon millions. The trauma and associated healing he has created is what he alone will need to feel in order to rehabilitate. Are you still telling me death is better? This stupid easy way out?
Rehabilitate, pump him full of psychedelic medicines, make him feel that shit and understand it even if he objects, he has lost his right to say no. Come to understand his radicalisation, the steps that led there, the signs, learn how he came to be the way he is while he learns it too. Apply the learnings to others, provide early support intervention to those displaying the same risk patterns. Understand, not euthanize, learn.
It is easy for you to say that my position on violence is the same radicalised belief, moreso due to the lengths I have gone to raise attention. However, you and me both know that my fight against domestic violence has cost me everything, I absolutely despise all violence but through it my position stays with each and every human being, even the most cowardly violent one these shores know and we know some coward violent shit.
That position maintains should we open our hearts and listen, put the repetitive narrative of blaming words away, the world moves forward, we come to understand the us in every other one of us. We are all the same.
In order to come to understand all this and make any difference you first have to understand you, point your finger at you and accept that you too are the trigger, you have pulled it many times. Accept you and the Bondi shooter/s are one and the same, rehabilitate yourself and you’ll know he can rehabilitate him, finally, then, understanding this is where peace lives.
If peace, understanding, acceptace is not your whole motivation for being, in all things and moments and words, then war is your pathway.
Choose peace and non-violence. War is not the way, violence is not the way, ignorance is not the way, the evidence is indisputable.
Peace is the way.
