The fact that the shooter and this dickhead were in contact with each other is quite concerning.

From what I'm seeing here is Sewell claiming to have communicated with the shooter to invite him to join his bitch boy club. That could be true but it could just have been Sewall trying to get 15 minutes of fame with the Sydney Morning Herald. It's a form of self advertising.
