Wth that's weird, I'm not a Herald Sun subscriber (like ew)

I've had altercations with the primary suspect in the past, too. She's frequently made death threats to several of the cleaning and security staff here, so I wouldn't be surprised if she is the culprit. I hope the victim is alright... last I heard she was in critical condition
 
This one isn't exactly local, but w/e

Anyways, there was a shooting at a mall that I sometimes go to when I'm in the area

So the control panel for my city's train system was evacuated because a water leaked onto the fire alarm. This false alarm stopped every single train in the network and trust me being stranded on the train is hella balls; I ended up being about an hour late to work, along with thousands of other commuters.

So in case you were wondering, yes, a single point of failure can shut down Melbourne's entire train network.

Absolutely disgusting, Islamic State are a bunch of extremists. Allah mentions in the Quran only attack people IF they attack you, do not attack people on purpose if they are not harming you. it's just plain wrong what they are doing at the moment.
 
Jerry Brown just signed SB277 into law without strings attached. That means it will aim removing those pesky and harmful nonmedical exemptions that are used to circumvent mandatory vaccinations. If children don't get vaccinated (barring those who can't get vaccinated due to medical reasons), they must attend private or home schooling. This means California, along with West Viginia and Mississippi will have the toughest vaccine laws in the country.

This is great news, especially after that Disneyland measles outbreak, which could've been prevented easily if there were improved vaccination rates in certain pockets in the state. We need tougher laws in vaccination.

I hope other states eventually follow suit! :fancy:

I don't know if this should be its own thread, but posting here anyway.
 
So anyways here's my town today and why my power went off right before the awesomenauts match

I was actually there during the incident, only a few feet away. I even saw the man's belongings next to the train before the police backed away and put the yellow tape. I didn't witness the whole act myself, but I did see the train come to a weird stop and I heard people making noises of disbelief.
