15 people were killed <\/a>after two gunmen allegedly opened fire on a crowd of Jewish faithful celebrating Hanukkah.<\/p>\n\u201cIt is appalling that, in the wake of Bondi, anyone would say anything that supports, in any way the actions of a horrific, vile, criminal terrorist act,\u201d Western Australia\u2019s police minister, Reece Whitby, told reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWords are dangerous. Words have potential to lead to catastrophic outcomes … anyone that says anything remotely intimidatory, suggestive of violence needs to be acted on very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n
The state\u2019s acting premier, Rita Saffioti, and its police chief, Col Blanch, have commended the member of the public who spoke to police after coming across the alleged post online which led to Glynn\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe report from the member of the public was critical and demonstrates just how important it is that the community in Western Australia is kept safe, but also the community in Western Australia engage in this process,\u201d Whitby said.<\/p>\n
Police said Glynn had a gun licence for hunting, and all but one of his firearms were registered, but Blanch has instructed his officers to initiate a process to cancel Glynn\u2019s permit.<\/p>\n
The accused is being investigated by officers linked to Operation Dalewood, which was launched by WA police in response to the Bondi attack.<\/p>\n
He was not known to WA, NSW or federal authorities before his arrest, and there is no evidence to suggest any attacks are being planned, Blanch said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t think there is an ongoing threat. We don\u2019t believe there to be a network involved. We think this is an individual who has made these comments online,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Whitby reiterated WA\u2019s tough penalties for hate-related crimes, including up to five years imprisonment for displaying Nazi symbols or performing Nazi salutes and up to 14 years for conduct intended to incite racial hatred.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
