#sydney #booktok #america One hundred & five years ago in Sydney, a crazed gunman's violent siege with police, came to a quick & lethal end when a visiting American cowboy commandeered a revolver from the police, and showed them how to deal with such situations; an amazing act of heroism that he called "frontier justice". It's Surry Hills, Sydney on Sunday, June 1, 1919, and a 40-year old Chinese man named Lee Hin has decided to seek revenge on the world. He was furious because he'd been recently romantically rebuffed by women in the church group he attended, so he armed himself with smoke bombs and two revolvers. We will now follow the unfolding scene using the newspaper reports of the day. Oddie Beau's ODDNESS Urban exploration & famous historical features! vintage crime cases & eccentric people from the past! ...and other weird stuff :) ....a dusty store window, filled with ancient alluring oddities. Once you've entered, you'll never want to leave. Quality over quantity.
