Yesterday, May 21, an SUV drove through a red light intersection and crashed directly into a shop called Hijab House, in Sydney's Greenacre. The shop front faced onto a busy intersection. The road the crashing car came from was on the far side of the intersection, in a direct line. 14 people inside the shop were injured, none fatally or seriously. The driver has been released from hospital and police interview, and in newspaper reports it says it is not expected to be terror-related. But interestingly, all the videos taken at the scene as it happened no longer work on any of the news websites.
I feel a reg flag is raised that this could be a reverse-racism terrorist attack on a Muslim enterprise.
Lately, many crashing cars into buildings have been reported. This could be just another one. But it feels so much more than that. The vehicle ended up completely inside the shop where women were working or were buying Hijabs.
The driver did a lot of smoke from his tyres on his way across the red light intersection, and also he rammed another vehicle out of the way which was stopped at the traffic lights, before proceeding on to the shop.
This doesn't feel like any ordinary traffic accident. The police also mentioned the driver had a record of "traffic matters".
I don't think society should take their eye off the ball when it comes to a person or team of people going all out to deliberately hurt others, regardless of creed or religion.
