The guy responsible had some serious psychotic issues. He was one that slipped through the cracks because he really should not have been on the streets.

Following the Bourke Street incident, the Victorian government established a scholarship with the International University of Health and Welfare, Kanno's alma mater in Japan, in his honor.

The scholarship provides up to A$10,000 ($8,000) for five years for a high-achieving current or former student of the university to study in Melbourne.

Something positive out of something awful.

And the charade continues, as it must. Staggering to think about the scope of the corruption. We now know it goes all the way to the top, the mayor and his cronies, local businesses, politicians, the media, the premier, yes, even the prime minister. And shame on the supposedly trusted emergency services who were obviously coerced into supporting the lie. Where's the footage of the car going down Bourke Street, where a gazillion CCTV cameras were in operation?

Jumpei said it was "regrettable" that Gargasoulas had been released on bail for a separate incident one week before the Bourke Street rampage.

Another case where miscommunication between police and bail officers resulted in innocent people being killed/injured by a nutta. Vic Police no better than their nsw counterparts after all.

Street cops had numerous opportunities to stop this lunatic before he drove over those people, Senior police kept telling them to back off.

The driver of this car was a recent immigrant to Australia and had a history of mental illness. He was also a devote religious person from the middle-east. At present, there is quite a lot of trouble with recent immigrants to Australia, especially in Melbourne. It would seem that, due to the recent and increasing violent incidents involving new immigrants to Australia the screening process for approved immigrants under the Open Immigration policy is severely lacking in scrutiny of applicants.

Naa. Gargasoulas is Greek-Australian and grew up in Coober Pedy.
