"People continued to lay flowers and flags at amemorial event outside Bondi Pavilion on Thursday, to pay their respects to the victims of the deadly mass shooting in Sydney. Footage shows mourners surrounding the memorial as piles of flower bouquets covered the whole square outside the pavilion. "[Everyone] should come down, pay their respects to what's happened here, which is very, very tragic, and hopefully, it doesn't happen like that again," an attendee said. “We've all got one common goal, and that is love. And it's just these extremists who steal it from us. It's the extremists who destroy it for everybody," another commented. Some people accused the Australian government of not paying enough attention to 'warnings' of the possible terrorist attacks. The event came on the fourth day after the Bondi Beach attack on December 14, which left 16 people dead, including one of the gunmen, and more than 40 others injured, according to officials.  Police later identified the attackers as father and son, Sajid Akram, 50, and Naveed Akram, 24. Sajid Akram was shot dead by police at the scene, while his son was arrested and remains in custody.  Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the scenes as 'shocking and distressing' and praised police, emergency services, and members of the public who intervened during the chaos. Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned what he called a 'cruel attack by vile terrorists' and urged Canberra to "fight against the enormous wave of anti-Semitism which is plaguing Australian society." Australia has some of the world's strictest gun laws and has largely avoided mass shootings for decades. Authorities said the motive remains under investigation."
