[QUOTE=āJulio Geordio, post: 1058188, member: 332ā]From what Iāve read some lad in the cafe tried to grab the gun and thatās when shots were fired and the cops legged it in.
Should have shot the cunt in the head as soon as the snipers came in. But I think heād said he had planted bombs all over the city or some such.[/QUOTE]
do they not have infra red technology or could they gas the place?
They could have asked the Americans to fire in a drone. I read that they consider 20 civilians a proportionately acceptable casualty rate to take out one terrorist. How many hostages were there?
So three people dead in total (two innocent) and a number of others injured. I knew those Aussies would fuck it up. And they were coming out with statements to the press saying āWe are very confident this will reach a peaceful conclusion.ā I absolutely could have predicted they would make a bollix of it in the end. :rolleyes:

Theyāre calling him the hero when heās really the villain. He jumped the gun, literally. If heād waited until the hostage taker was a bit more tired it would have ended up like that episode of Only Fools And Horses where they were held overnight in a supermarket and everybody could have gone for pints in an early house afterwards and had a laugh about it all.
[QUOTE=āColin Montgomerie, post: 1058257, member: 9ā]What does that hashtag mean?
Edit: the #illridewithyou one.[/QUOTE]
The #illridewithyou hashtag is continuing to trend on Twitter as a show of support for Muslim Australians after the siege at the Lindt cafe in Sydney.
#illridewithyou is trending worldwide on Twitter, rising by hundreds of tweets per minute - within hours it had been used in almost 120,000 tweets.
702 ABC Sydney have had calls from Muslim listeners who say they are too scared to ride on public transport at the moment.
The hashtag appears to have come from a Facebook post from Rachael Jacobs who was riding on a train, and noticed a Muslim woman quietly take off her head covering.
In her post she said: āI ran after her at the train station. I said 'put it back on. Iāll walk with u.ā
Another woman took to Twitter and wrote: āIf you reg take the bus b/w Coogee/Martin PL, wear religious attire, &donāt feel safe alone: Iāll ride withyou. @me for schedule.ā
The woman, Twitter user @sirtessa, then suggested āmaybe start a hashtag? Whatās in #illridewithyou?ā
Last night Ms Jacobs said she had been overwhelmed by the response to her story.
What baffled me about the #illridewithyou thing is that you could just as easily be giving a perfect cover to some terrorist, these Aussies just donāt seem to understand the danger of their actions here.
i would agree with that
the towel heads will have a field day here, i can see a serious bombing on a mode of public transport similar to a Tel Aviv bus bomb in 2001 very soon @Fitzy , id stay off buses if i were you
