Wow... that unarmed guy who crept up on the gunman at Bondi Beach and tackled him 😮 No other word except heroic:

Just have to hope there aren't any kinds of hatemongers trying to make capital out of this 😞

Is the video available elsewhere because I don't have a Youtube account and I've been blocked by the platform because I use NewPipe and YTDLP
Thanks

I tried it on Invidious but it doesn't work for some reason :/
I don't think you need an account to view YouTube, I don't have one either?
EDIT: It's also here bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c62l00q1…

there's weird thing going on with youtube atm that in some scenarios they have made viewing videos unavailable (total block and black screen)
But you could try to take the link and copy paste it into invidious/newpipe instance's search bar
If I manage to find video outside of youtube I will paste it here

that's the kind of courage I hope to have if I ever find myself in such a situation, God or whatever forbid. Heroic is indeed a fitting word.
Reminds me of the postman who, a few months ago here in Austria, ran over a terrorist, who was trying to murder civilians, with his delivery van without hesitation. Good people must stand up against this madness.

in reply to FediThing • • •So, the unarmed hero who wrestled the gun away has been named as Ahmed al Ahmed, a local shopkeeper:

A Muslim risked his life to save his Jewish neighbours. It would be great if this fact helps to disarm bigots too.
He was apparently shot by the second attacker after disarming the first one, and is currently in hospital. Hopefully he gets out soon and can tell the world his story.
