I find it funny how some are trying to blame the Sydney stabber on capitalism. Umm plenty of capitalist countries don't have mentally ill running around stabbing people.
I mean, we don't really have that either. If it weren't such an anomalous event, it wouldn't be getting wall-to-wall coverage for days.
The point is even if we did, pointing to capitalism as the " cause" is a bit silly.
