“Monis, also known as Sheikh Haron, was charged last year with being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife who was stabbed and set alight in a Sydney apartment block. He was found guilty in 2012 of sending offensive and threatening letters to families of eight Australian soldiers killed in Afghanistan, as a protest against Australia’s involvement in the conflict, according to local media reports.”

Why has this monster been allowed to wander the streets? He should at least been locked up for eternity in some dark dank hole.

This is the first time in my life Ive followed this much “drama” overnight.

I have stayed up late many times due to events happening somewhere in the world. The Internet is great for that.

Fox reporting that police had to move based on intelligence, and open communications with terrorist which was getting more violent. Last month terrorist pledged martyrdom to ISIS last month.

“Sidneyseige” and related hashtags has pushed ‘BlackLivesMatter” completely off the Twitter Worldwide Trends list.

The WHITE Socialists running this show are not going to be happy!!!

Police have been above, upstairs the scene within hours of it happening, listening. Maybe they blew out a wall or floor portion to get in once the guy waiting in Satan’s deli started to detonate/shoot.

Unless the terrorist was on the gurney getting CPR, there must be one hostage with serious medical condition.

All I know is when it was about 3 am here on Monday, it was about 6 pm on Monday there. Not sure, but that appears to be about 15 hours, but I am on east coast. Maybe 12 hours from CA.

I saw an EOD ROV go in, probably to open up Sheikh Bombchucker’s backpack and have a look inside.

On east coast it’s 10:51 am Monday, and it is 2:51 am Tuesday in Australia according to FOX News clock, so evidently my first comment was wrong, they seems to be quite a difference in time, more than I had thought.
