As we all know, the attention of the whole of Australia has been focused on the following recently:
A series of ongoing attacks on multiple cities.
And this series of attacks has slowly seen many changes in human nature.
For example, when the University of Sydney is having a long list of memorial flowers,
There are even such remarks popping up on the Internet?
//
The Chinese man publicly stated:
Pretty good!
In the wake of the Sydney attacks that shook the world,
Someone in the Chinese crowd made this statement:
The IG account of the speaker has been picked up,
Among them, there are even photos leaked:
But now it's private:
But the photo before the private shows -
It should be a local blue-collar profession, responsible for some house construction projects.
Spicy comments from Xiaohongshu netizens:
This person should be the one who should be deported the most in 2024!
We believe that for the deceased in any event,
It would be very inappropriate to make such a statement...
Coincidentally
There is such a "joke" at the University of Sydney?
Recently, a netizen (happy squirrel) on Xiaohongshu posted:
Bondi's own school professor joking about the victims?
I don't know if I'm too sensitive or what......
Yesterday Monday, when I went to the last TUTE, the University of Sydney tutor said during the roll call: "Everyone's here? Nobody’s dead? Then the students below were laughing......
I don't know what kind of mentality the teacher said this, whether it was a casual concern, or a joke, and I really don't know what to say if it was humorous.
What I don't understand the most is why the students below are laughing? Is there anything funny? Because the victim is not you? Obviously, such a heavy incident, and an alumnus was killed because of it, I was uncomfortable for a long time because of various news reports, and now it has become a topic of conversation in class??? or is it that I think too much, and everyone has no malicious intentions?

UTS students were mistaken for suspects
It is understood that UTS student Ben Cohen has been mistaken for a suspect in the Westfield Bondi Junction terrorist attack and has been subjected to numerous cyberattacks and harassment.
Ben Cohen, a 20-year-old UTS student, was falsely identified as a suspect in the attack and was subjected to a flood of online abuse and physical attacks on social media.
Mr Cohen said he had received "thousands" of messages and friend requests since he was misidentified, and the situation was completely out of control.
"People don't put a lot of thought into what it could do to someone," Cohen said bitterly, "and people can fabricate facts at will, which is dangerous and can ruin a person's life." "
In fact, NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley had already announced on Sunday morning that the real attacker was Joel Cauchi, a 40-year-old Queensland man, and that Ben Cohen had nothing to do with the case.
Cohen's father, Mark, said the family was "very scared" about it. "I think they just randomly found a face that looked somewhat similar, and that face matched their own motivations or the story they wanted to shape. They don't realize how much damage they can do. "
Mr. Mark said there were many calls of concern at home, "everyone was asking what was going on, and some were asking if it was real." Of course this is not true, he is not even a politically motivated person. He's just an ordinary kid and now he has to deal with it all. "
This incident once again highlights the dangers of online violence.
Anonymous abuses the power of public opinion to draw innocents into a dangerous maelstrom.
Everyone should pay attention to screening information when surfing the Internet!
Let's take a look at the aftermath of the attack.
A series of latest updates...

"It's a monster to you
But he's my son."
The tragedy struck Westfield Shopping Centre in Sydney's east on Saturday night.
40-year-old Joel Cauchi rushed into the mall with a 30cm hunting knife and launched a brutal mass attack.
Six people were killed and at least 12 others were injured in the surprise attack, including a nine-month-old baby.
Under the gunfire of the heroic NSW Police Inspector Amy Scott, Joel Cauchi was shot and killed.
Sadly, the parents of the perpetrators, Joel Cauchi, Andrew and Michelle Cauchi, who were in their 70s, had previously lived peacefully in Queensland, and after the incident, they broke their silence and expressed their inner grief.
According to neighbors, Cauchi's parents were "very religious" people.
A neighbor who has lived on this street for more than 30 years visited Mrs. Cauchi for about an hour.
The elderly couple, who have lived in the Toowoomba suburb of Rockville for 46 years, last saw their son a few months ago, when the 40-year-old came for Christmas but according to neighbors, he was not shown outside during his visit.
A neighbour, Carol, said Andrew had said that after receiving noise and smell complaints, Joel would have returned home this week to help him reduce the number of pigeons he kept in the aviary behind the house.
However, such an accident happened on Saturday night.
His parents learned about the horror when they recognized their son from the TV footage and frantically called the police, but by then it was too late.
Joel suffers from schizophrenia.
In a statement, his parents said they had "no doubts" about the NSW police action.
"We are very shocked by the traumatic incident that took place yesterday in Sydney. ”
"We are with the families and friends of the victims, as well as those who are still being treated. Joel's behavior is truly horrible, and we're still trying to understand what's going on. ”
"He has struggled with mental health issues since he was a teenager. We are in contact with the NSW Police and the Queensland Police and have no problem with the officer who shot our son because she was just doing her duty to protect others. ”
The couple has been doing everything they can to care for and help this son. To their disgrief, Joel refused to continue taking the medication.
His parents say that although Joel was a "good boy" in his youth, with excellent grades and loved by teachers and friends, he did not seem to fit in well from an early age.
They are still trying to digest why their son committed such a brutal crime.
When asked why he thought his son was targeting women in the riots, the father said: "He has always wanted to find a girlfriend but has been very frustrated due to his lack of social skills. "
The mother, Michelle, also said that although her son's mental health was not very good, his behavior was "completely contrary to his character". "I am very sorry for what our son has done. We also don't know why he did it, it's completely out of his character. "
She revealed that her son grew up in the love of his parents since he was a child, and he is a beloved child. He had been taking medication under the care of a doctor, and the medication had been taken relatively regularly until he himself asked the doctor to reduce the dosage.
She believes that when her son carried out a violent attack on a shopping mall, he may have completely lost his sense of reality. "I don't think he realized what he was doing. "
Carroll, a neighbor, said: "He told me that his son is a well-behaved boy who has a bus pass so he can travel everywhere. Once, my son came home with some other backpackers to help remove weeds from the yard. ”
It is unclear whether the couple was aware of their son's double life as a male prostitute.
In recent weeks, the 40-year-old has been sleeping in his car or in a backpacker's hotel.
The assistant commissioner said that although he was not in regular contact with his parents, he did "text his mother to update him."
This is undoubtedly a tragic incident. We express our deep condolences to all the victims and their families, and pray for a speedy recovery for the injured. We must be vigilant and raise awareness of mental health issues to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
