A flag for a life is a pretty good deal.

He should get his flags tagged with some kind of “paint” that a sharpshooter can scope and then take him out.
Interesting development in that the Australian Imam condemned this act which may be a first. It is a way to ensure that the EASY LIFE THE MUSLIMS have in Aussie land is not disrupted and they can continue into the future with their Jihad plans.
As the Israelis say (though they’ve swayed a bit from this), the ONLY thing I promise you (terrorist) is that if you release all the hostages unharmed and give yourself up, I will not kill you. Any other options MUST result in the death of these scum and rounding up ALL individuals AND family members, shipping them out of Australia and that’s that.
Don’t know about Oz, but in the US you can’t deport family members of a criminal just for being related.
Which is as it should be.
Obviously there is always the question of what is behind the line of sight to the gunman. If he has set up some the hostages behind him then it may be too much of a risk while he is still talking. If he cuts off negotiations they will have to move on him quickly and they will.
There are many other civilized options: .308, .338, and .50 cal come to mind too. The only rule should be that the terrorist gets very little publicity beyond letting people know he's a terrorist holding hostages today, and that he's been sent to meet "Allah" face to face by tomorrow.
“demanded a flag of the Islamic State terror group in return for the release of a hostage.” — the flag they displayed in arabic writing is EXACTLY that of Saudi Arabia. Only the background colour is black not green.
I wonder if the police down there have a female sniper...
death is what they want — to die a martyr at the hands of infidels sends them to jihadi heaven where they get 72 virgins to deflower (who magically “reflower” each night) and 18 young boys. And lots of wine with no hangover.
Wrong - gather up all family out to 1st cousins and deport them. If you are interested in effective means to prevent Sudden Jihad Syndrome that is the way.
But that doesn't seem to interest you.
I'm tending toward journalistic sensationalism ... < /sarc>
Quite possibly. Though I find it really difficult to square this with the Constitution, which does not provide for punishment of family members. In fact, the prohibition on corruption of blood implies the Founders were opposed to such.
Please point out to me where in the Constitution or law collective punishment of family members is allowed.
It might be effective. Maybe.
But that doesn’t necessarily make it constitutional, legal or right.
The Romans and Mongols had very effective ways of dealing with opposition. We don’t use them, because we’re the good guys. Remember?
What should be given is assurance that they will be sprayed with a fine mist of swine blood while still alive and a certain burial in pig entrails when dead.
“...300 WinMag thru the throat - single shot drop”
My first thought, too.
Don’t they have any trained snipers?
My half-blind grandma could have taken him out at that distance with grandpa’s old flintlock.
Perhaps they do not want to take them out.
You be the “good guy” all you want. Then you can slap yourself on the back for being such a good dug while these savages are sawing people’s heads off and selling your daughters off as sex slaves.
The rest of us will be grownups about it and forcibly deport everyone of these savages including their pet goats.
