[Cosimo]

Identity of the Australian hostage taker is known and there is also a video of demands. Press asked not to release this info.

 

[Stretch]

Leave our brothers to commit genocide in peace.
Sharia Law for all.
Death to America.
50 Virgins.

Ad nauseum...

 

[anything I don't mind]

Anyone got any video or photo evidence yet? Seems like it could just be made up at this point.

Probably a bunch of crisis management/pr managment people inside having a cup of tea talking about how they going to spin this in to a christmas terror story to remember.

What sort of a terrorist takes over a lindt cafe? Chocolate terrorist.

 

[McBain]

Anyone watching Sky News? The Aussie on then;

"I can't believe this, I mean, who hates Australians, who hates Australia?"

 

[dowie]

Why hopefully? There's utter ***** in every religion doesn't mean every follower is the same.

Same applies to religions in general - this one in particular poses a greater threat to our society than most. (Obviously more towards the conservative side if it but Islamic beliefs/traditions in general tend to conflict with western standards... save for very moderate/enlightened muslims)

 

[dowie]

If he is alone, should just shoot him. Get a sniper or two on the scene.

Problem with that is the potential bomb in his rucksack... if he's got a detonator in his hand then....

 

[Skunkworks]

I get the feeling he will be taken down hard and fast if the opportunity presents itself.

 

[foster grant]

yeah

[anything I don't mind]

How convenient. Time will tell which crisis management agency is behind it. I quite like the chocolate terrorist heading. Surprised the mail has not thought of it yet.

Seems odd.

1) why request a flag after the fact and if you trying to make a message, you would take your own flag with your own message surely?

2) if it was not a robbery then what is the objective?

3) the target is dumb as you can get, a chocolate cafe? realy?

What if he's strapped with an IED ?

 

[KIA]

The religion of peace is at it again.

Shocking.
