Luckily the Aussies aren’t crippled with PC guilt and won’t treat the terrorist as the victim.

Listening to the BBC now. Lindt employees forced to put ISIS flag in shop window. Evacuations of stores in the vicinity including television station nearby. Police on the scene.

Unfortunately the terrorists likely don’t have any intent on getting out alive.

I’m watching Sky News. Their studio is being evacuated now - they are nearby. The whole city block is being evacuated.

This is no “robbery”. Robbers do NOT take ISIS flags along to the scene of a robbery. I pray that this doesn’t end badly for the hostages which may be the Islamists’ intent.

Didn’t Australia enact draconian anti-firearms laws ten or twenty years ago?

Looks like those were pointless — and quite possibly a mistake.

Yeah. You can’t reason with monsters who are bent on killing their hostages and themselves.

Evidently a home grown terrorist, because Australia and New Zealand are strict in their immigration and particularly where Muslims are concerned.

God Speed to the Good Guys (that's us, Western Folk, for those who are confused) and successful hunting to the Special Forces! Shoot first, then yell and then say "Gee, I'm sorry, mate."

Cankles said we must sympathize with terrorists. How dare these Australians try to live their lives undisturbed? These poor ISIS members are just so frustrated.
