Thread: Hostages held in siege in Martin Place, Sydney in lockdown

Yep. Going to end soon. Seems triggered by the nutter shooting a hostage.

As I have said from the outset, a twat and a nasty one at that. Religion, politics or making a cultural statement are all irrelevant factors and red herrings. He is just another creep who left his own country as an economic migrant and found a place in which he has no bearings to guide himself and in social isolation has manifested his innate derangement.

In downtown Tehran, Tabriz or Qom the silly fucker would have been ostracised for being the twat he undoubtedly is and even the mullahs probably thought he was a Farsi short of a tribe.

One hopes the Tac team, or whatever the diggers call it, top him before morning.

It's all on, wounded out in ambulances etc....

ABC News 24 - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

news about the hostages getting out.

Siege declared over by NSW police.

Paramedics pouring into the building with stretchers and queue of ambos waiting in Martin Place.

Nearly half an hour ago and the authorities still haven't informed the entire Australian media what has happened to the twat.

I don't think he's drinking tea and eating pizza.

Shot dead or lying on a gurney bleeding to death? Any hostages injured? Its not as if 16 million people and the Oz media are all in their kip counting sheep.

Two dead including the gunman.


"The number of casualties was not immediately clear, but Sky News Australia reported that two people were dead, including the gunman."

If they went in on the back of him shooting a hostage, they fucked up.

If the TV cameras had numerous clear shots of him, so did the snipers.

Should have plugged the bastard at the first opportunity.

He lost his right to a trial when he took hostages with a firearm.

Agreed.

^^


And the bombs he alleged to have?


But I agree, after he demonstrated his inability to use the hostages to force his demands, they should have discounted the bomb threat and just plugged him.

Cops would have had a substantial amount of info gleaned from the first five hostages out, possibly enough to know how many gunmen, bombs etc.

Australian commandos have stormed a cafe in Sydney, ending a 16-hour siege by a gunman identified as an Iranian refugee who took dozens of hostages.

Paramedics carrying stretchers raced towards the cafe moments after the commandos entered the building. Several people were injured.

Unconfirmed local reports said two people, including the gunman, died.



Bastard got his martydom he needed putting in a straight jacket in a padded cell for the rest of his life.

They were banging on about how confident they were it would end peacefully.

Don't compromise with these assholes. Just top them at the first opportunity.

No-one is going to criticise apart from a few lefty twats.

^Was it in Peru where those hostage-takers were all executed when the place was stormed?...They each got a bullet in the back of the head when they tried to surrender...

An Iranian-born gunman Man Haron Monis was killed, along with a 38-year-old female and 34-year-old male hostage after a dramatic firefight brought an end to the his almost 17-hour siege.

Sounds like they didn't go in until they heard shots.

They've publicly stated that. It's a tough call, go in before shots are heard and risk people's lives, or wait and maybe you get a peaceful surrender.

To begin with, it was unknown if the gunman had an accomplice who may have already been in the cafe;
Shooting through glass carries the risk of deflecting and deforming the round, thus triggering an unwanted response from the hostage taker;
The hostages who escaped were under the impression that there were bombs planted in the cafe - dead man's trigger mechanism?;
It now appears that one of the hostages attempted to disarm the gunman, and the consequence of that is now known.

I hope his 72 virgins are all fat, ugly and smelly.

THE manager of the Lindt cafe who was fatally shot in the Martin Place siege is being praised as a hero, responsible for allowing others trapped in the cafe to escape.Tori Johnson, 34, was wrestling a gun from gunman Man Haron Monis when he was killed.

It is understood the cafe manager decided to take action when the hostage-taker begun to doze off after the siege had been ongoing for 17 hours.He lunged at the gunman’s weapon, enabling others to flee.
