I am embarrassed to be an Australian.
With all the anti-firearms rhetoric going on recently, Our federal government, our local nanny state of NSW and the media here have made the people so skittish they panic at the sight of a trumpet!
A 'barefoot busker' doing 'breathing exercises' sparks panic on Melbourne's morning commute as police storm a train station after reports of a man with a rifle - only to find he was carrying a TRUMPET
Armed police stormed Melbourne's Flagstaff Train Station on Thursday morning
A passenger has reported seeing a man acting strangely holding a firearms bag
The man was also said to be doing 'breathing exercises' adding to people's fears
After investigation police said the man was a busker carrying a trumpet in a bag
Police evacuated the station and asked people to avoid area search continues
A busker carrying a trumpet sparked mass fear and chaos on Melbourne's morning commute as armed police swarmed a train station over fears a man was spotted with a gun.
But when police stormed Flagstaff Train Station in the city's centre about 8.30am expecting to find a gunman, they instead found a well-known busker doing breathing exercises, apologising for the fuss he had caused.
A passenger called Triple-0 claiming a man was carrying a bag with a gun sticking out from it.
Passengers were immediately evacuated from the area as police searched the station and trains.
By mid-morning, police confirmed the man was a busker who had been carrying a sports duffel bag with an instrument in it.
Actual picture of the alleged gunman.

Imagine the shock, the horror the panic if he had been carrying a Didgeridoo?
