Australia vid... lack of situational awareness of man going to pay at till... hope they recover fully

China vid... kind of surprised that the Chengguan decided to chase that gongfu uncle up into the building after being clearly outclassed on the street...

Excerpts from "Trial for woman accused of axe attack caught on video begins," https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-ac ... 9aba385353:
Candace Sutton on Jul 12, 2018 wrote:To this day, Ms Hacker says she has nerve pain and cannot sleep, sit or stand for longer than a couple of hours. . . .

“She did all of the store, passing (customer) Ben Rimmer before approaching the vicinity of the checkout,” Mr McMahon told the jury in his opening address.

“Ben Rimmer was queued up behind (the second customer) Sharon Hacker.

“Ben Rimmer and the accused exchanged a few words during which he briefly touched the axe she is holding in front of her body, waist height with two hands.

“The accused brings the axe around her right shoulder and swings from left to right at Ben Rimmer’s head.”

Mr McMahon said the axe blow broke Mr Rimmer’s eye socket, cheek bone and caused a 10cm wound from the bridge of his nose to the left eyelid, and “the force knocks him to the ground”.

He said Ms Amati then turned her attention to Sharon Hacker who was apparently unaware of the attack on Mr Rimmer and was leaving the shop.

Ms Amati then brings the axe around and “swings with both hands a forceful blow to the back of the head at the base of the skull”, Mr McMahon said.

Ms Hacker fell forward heavily to the ground and “the accused attempts to bring the axe down forcefully on Ms Hacker on the ground”.

The blow kissed Ms Hacker but cut half way through the shoulder strap of her bag, causing another customer at a petrol browser to hear a sound “like a balloon popping”.

Ms Hacker suffered “a fracture to the base of the skull” but her “very thick bundle of dreadlocks down her head and neck cushioned the impact of the blow somewhat”.


Evie Amati found guilty. Sentencing on September 12, 2018.

Excerpt from "Evie Amati guilty of Sydney axe attack at 7-Eleven store,"
https://www.9news.com.au/national/2018/ ... even-store:
9News on Aug 3, 2018 wrote:Sydney woman Evie Amati has today been found guilty of attacking two people with an axe at a 7-Eleven store in the city's inner west last year.

The 26-year-old was found guilty of wounding with intent to murder and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

She previously pleaded not guilty to wounding customers Benjamin Rimmer and Sharon Hacker at the Enmore store and attempting to wound pedestrian Shane Redwood in the early hours of January 7.

Despite that, a NSW District Court jury today found her guilty by rejecting claims the transgender woman was suffering from a "mental derangement" at the time of the attack. . . .
