“X is getting heavily sensed (sic) in the middle of this shooting in Bondi, Australia,” Bogut wrote on X. “Need to have mainstream media version events instead of live feeds just in case the truth comes out without any spin.

“RIP to the people caught up in this BS. Publicly hang the shooters if they are still alive.”

Bogut added: “It’s beyond naive to think you can vote your way out of this mess..”
