Gunmen take Sydney cafe hostage

Recommended Posts

Posted

If he was intent on killing people they would already be dead, they don't tend to hang around for ages with hostages.

Probably some dickhead white convert, thinking he's got the balls to do something in his tiny little life and bottling it.

Agree with this although I reckon he's probably a 2nd or 3rd generation Afghan immigrant who lives a pretty comfortable suburban life. It's basically like an American high school shooting with an Islamic twist, and so far no actual shooting. My guess is that he'll end it by taking his own life and nobody else's.

The gunman has been named as an Iranian cleric, got previous for violence and writing offensive letters to the families of dead Aussie soldiers. Considering that Iran (shia muslims) & IS (sunni) hate each other makes you wonder what his motives are.

Quite unexpected, I was expecting him to be a radicalized child of Sunni Lebanese/Syrian immigrants.

 

He is such a coward, attacking a teeny-tiny cafe, just laughable really. Hope everyone comes out of this alive and unhurt.

Rather pathetic.  Clearly a nut working on his own, nothing to do with IS, doesn't know what he is doing.  Hopefully the police can get him to come out or at least let the people go.

A radical preacher already known to police. What a surprise.

Why the hell is he even in Australia?

Posted

Unbelievable scenes here, handful have just legged it from the cafe.

Just showed them live charging in. Gunfire and explosions follow.

Certainly looks over now and just hope the hostages are all safe.

Apparently faces 40 charges of sexual assault and apparently had something to do with his ex-wife's murder. Weird that he was even walking the street.

Sounds an absolutely mentalcase.

I have a feeling he is going for some "death by cop" thing to be remembered. Hopefully they get him alive.

**** getting him alive, send him to his maker.

I don't want 0.1% chance of this thing walking the streets again.

I always felt that our Police should have shot and killed Lee Rigby's murders.... it would have saved the UK tax payer a fortune!!!

Same.

And it removes any chance whatsoever they ever walk the streets again.

I understand, he's dead anyway.

I thought the aim of these stunts was to die so doing the opposite and keeping them very alive in jail forever would be a lot more punishment. I get that costs money though and they might walk the streets again which would be even worse.

According to The Guardian he converted to Sunni "last week"...!

 

The Iranian-born man, who apparently converted from Shia Islam to Sunni only last week, has also been accused of being an accessory in the killing of his ex-wife, a charge for which he remains on bail.

Three people sadly confirmed dead, including the gunman and 4 in hospital.

Gunman was on bail for a string of violent offences and writing letters to dead soldiers families and being an accessory to the murder of his ex wife.

Sad sad day.

 

A cowardly act.

 

A beautiful and positive thing to come from the siege is the #illridewithyou hashtag has become the number one topic on twitter. After a number of threats and people being forced to remove their headscarfes etc

 

  • #illridewithyou is the offer from non muslims to ride with Muslims on public transport and help them feel safe and welcomed.
