Twitter user Sir Tessa began what has become a worldwide phenomenon, offering to sit next to members of the Islamic faith on transport if they were frightened to be seen in public wearing religious clothing. The 'I'll ride with you' hashtag has garnered over 112,000 mentions across social media, with people all over the world jumping on board the movement in an effort to turn the terrifying events of Monday into something positive. After Sir Tessa noticed a disturbing trend of anti-Muslim sentiments, he wrote to those on his regular bus 'wear religious attire, & don’t feel safe alone: I’ll ride with you'.

I can’t imagine why this man wasn’t already ejected from Australia. And I don’t understand why WE don’t eject criminal aliens.
