You are. Yeah, me and Trent Reznor. Hanging out. Yep. The two of you, I could not see a better duo out there having fun. Peas in a pod. Eating sliders. Batman and Robin.
I'm here with Trent Reznor's new best friend, Henry Zebrowski. It's me.
And some people have called him the perfect drug. His name is Ed Larson.
Nice. Yeah.
I had to argue with, I don't know if you remember, but after we left the Nick Cave show in Detroit.
I had to argue with you for a good two to three minutes in the Uber that the Warren Ellis that plays with Nick Cave is not the same that writes the comic books. You would not believe me. I still don't.
Yeah, he does look like Alan Moore, but Warren Ellis does not look like Warren Ellis.
Oh, James Tynion doesn't wear pewter rings. No, but it's in his heart. Today, on Last Podcast on the Left, we're starting a new true crime story, ladies and gentlemen. We're covering one of the biggest in history. Today, we're going to be covering the Port Arthur Massacre and its perpetrator, Martin Bryant.
Okay, people can't see you do the quote-unquote.
So Martin Bryant, a.k.a. the most irritating man in history, was the perpetrator of the 1996 Port Arthur massacre on the Australian island of Tasmania, in which 23 people were wounded and 35 were killed. Using an AR-15, a semi-automatic .308, and a shotgun, Martin killed with incredible speed and utter cruelty, murdering 12 people and wounding 10 in just the first 15 seconds of the massacre.
Bryant even took a hostage, and the ordeal only ended when the bed and breakfast he'd barricaded himself inside began to burn down from a fire Bryant had set himself, and the cops arrested him in the B&B's front yard naked because his clothes had been burned away.
He's an unreal person.
A totally unreal character.
He actually was. They said he was naturally athletic, but he actually looked pretty big.
But while the Port Arthur Massacre was the deadliest mass shooting in world history at the time, mass shooting being defined as five or more people killed in a single incident, it has since been bumped down to number 11. Because of Australia's response to the massacre, however, there has not been a single mass shooting in Australia since Port Arthur.
After the extremely unstable 29-year-old Martin Bryant purchased an arsenal of guns without licenses using money he inherited from an eccentric middle-aged gambling heir he was possibly banging, Australia as a whole decided that there really was no way of preventing people like Martin Bryant from obtaining weapons of mass death.
So instead of throwing up their hands and saying that mass shootings were just something we all had to deal with as a part of our everyday lives, Australia put strict gun control laws in place. And as a result, Australia has not had a mass shooting in exactly 29 years, as today is, coincidentally, as it always is, the anniversary of the Port Arthur massacre.
How many times?
Yeah, that is true. No, it's like I'm totally trained to look at the exits at every place I enter.
But really, when it comes to the gun control issue, the key words here are people like Martin Bryant. Because as we're going to see over the course of this series, there really wasn't anything that anyone could have done to put Bryant on a non-sociopathic track. Because people did try again and again throughout his life.
