Yesterday's Melbourne Tragedy - trigger

Yesterday there was a horrible tragedy in Melbourne CBD, where a guy drove onto the Bourke St Mall and mowed down innoncent victims, while they were going about doing their own business. Walking, shopping, talking, laughing, babies in prams, just people everywhere. And in a split second - this act of another human being turned into a horrible horrible tragedy 😞

I listened to the news last night and was crying to see what this crazy guy had done.

And the tears flowed for all the victims, their families and even the guy's family, his parents.

You know we can't judge, but what gets me is that it was said he has a 'mental illness and drug addiction as well as domestic violence' and he was out on bail.

It just makes me really angry when i hear things like this. What else could have been done at the time to prevent this horrible tragedy. I guess there are so many questions that people are asking, why was he out on bail?

I don't know why I am writing this on here, I guess I am feeling really sad, scared to even travel around. These poor people weren't doing anything wrong.

My heart bleeds for the victims, their families and what they are going through right now. I can only pray and hope that the other surviving victims will be okay physcially but mentally they will suffer. It will be with them forever. And hoping that with professional help they will be able to cope. It just makes me sad.

I don't know what needs to be done, more work on domestic violence, a better juidical system ???

I just don't know. all i know is that what happened yesterday could happen anywhere. Just a really really sad day and I am feeling emotional 😞
