perhaps you need to revise your education ----------
maybe you better watch the videos of the Bondi killings
plenty of Aussies in the videos running away --------- but, who made him back down???? and didn't run away?
''A French man, Damien Guerot, has been identified as the viral "Bollard Man" hero who tried to stop the killer during his stabbing spree on Saturday.
Mr Guerot went face-to-face with Joel Cauchi, who had stabbed shoppers at a Sydney shopping mall. Police have since said he was targeting women.
Armed with a long knife, Cauchi killed six people and wounded 12 before he was shot dead by a female police officer.
His senseless act of violence has horrified the country.
But amid the tragedy, many, including the nation's leaders, have been quick to praise acts of bravery from strangers to try and stop him.
The scene of Mr Guerot in a white t-shirt confronting Cauchi on an escalator has in particular gone viral: The video shows him wielding a plastic pole to ward him off.
Local media reported that he had tried to stop Cauchi advancing up to their level, where there was a children's play area nearby.
Mr Guerot says he and a friend Silas Despreaux, both construction workers, had just had launched into action without thinking - acting on pure adrenalin.
The pair had been on their way to the gym in the mall, when they heard the screaming: "There's a man stabbing people."
"We just saw him coming ... we were thinking, 'We need to try to stop him'," Mr Guerot said in an interview with Australian TV network Channel Seven on Sunday.
At that point, he and Mr Despreaux were still on the floor above the man with the knife. As Cauchi moved onto the escalator, Mr Guerot confronted him at the top, waving a bollard in defence.
They were face-to-face for a few seconds. "His eyes were like empty eyes... he wasn't there," Mr Guerot said.
Cauchi then turned and fled back down the escalator, with Mr Guerot and Mr Despreaux in hot pursuit.
"We tried to maybe throw the bollard to him but we couldn't [get him]," Mr Guerot said.
Grabbing a chair, he sprinted after Cauchi on the next level down. At that point, a police officer was also on Cauchi's tail, and the men directed Inspector Amy Scott to her target. As he lunged at her with the knife, she shot him dead.
