lol. i love this guy.



You serious? I'm thinking about maybe going there to see what's happening. Anyone else been the Martin Place or areas nearby?


DIE HARD

Don't go. You'll just be a nuisance like everyone else hanging around there.

But how did that gunman allow it? (Just curious)

I might be terrible with sourcing information, but this thread and BLIT's posts has kept me more up to date than any one source on the net.

Police have identified who the gunman is. He is known to police. NSW Police have asked the ABC not to identify him #sydneysiege #abc730

When the 5 hostages escaped, the gunman could be seen from here getting extremely agitated, shouting at remaining hostages

Probably got hungry

doesn't mean anything... could indicate compassion, could indicate he's planning something stupid... The Jews had the compassion to give Jesus his last meal before he was crucified...

Siege enters 11th hour - what we know

Five hostages have fled the Lindt Cafe in Martin Place in Sydney and an unknown number remain inside. It is not clear if the hostages escaped or were freed and police are not confirming either ways for operational reasons. One of the hostages is in St Vincent’s Hospital in a “satisfactory condition”.
Police have identified the gunman but have asked media outlets not to publish his name. At this stage there is only one confirmed gunman.
Police are treating the siege as a Counter Terror operation.
The gunman took customers and staff at the Lindt Cafe hostage at 9.45am AEDT in Sydney and has contacted multiple media outlets making demands through the hostages.
Mosques, synagogues and churches across Australia are inviting the public to gather tonight to pray for a peaceful resolution to the siege at Lindt Cafe in Sydney in a show of multi-faith unity.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has said the gunman has political motivations in a statement to media:
This is a very disturbing incident. It is profoundly shocking that innocent people should be held hostage by an armed person claiming political motivation.
Premier Mike Baird and NSW police commissioner, Andrew Scipione, are due to give another press conference in about half an hour. I am going to hand the reins of the liveblog over to the trusty hands of Katharine Murphy and perhaps I will see you again in the morning.

I'm social media retarded, I'm assuming that's a date stamp to a post or something... I'm assuming this guy is based in Australia somewhere as well and is not in a different time zone...

 

[enoilgam]

Didnt he say he would trade 5 hostages to speak to Abbott - has this actually happened?

 

[Rhinoz8142]

is it true that Channel 10 got a video ?

[19:40] Channel 10 Reporter has reported that they have received a video of a hostage relaying the demands of the gunman ?

Pretty sure he hasn't talk to Abbott yet

It could be different country timezone or something.. sometimes social media timezones stuff up...

They've been contacted and have definitely got audio, not sure about video...
