Sydney Hostage situation - Australia

Shooting through a plate glass window at an angle, at a target standing 3 plus meters behind the window, with hostages... :hmm:
 
I was reading some articles on terror relating to this incident. I came across this on the Time website...

Typical fucking journalists writing shit without fact checking, retard.

CNN reported very early this morning that they had "unconfirmed reports" that the terrorist had accomplices in town. The way it was reported, it almost insinuated that the accomplices and threats of "other" devices was being used to deter any rescue attempt.

I believe if it were certainly known to be a simple lone wolf, his brains would be oatmeal on the wall by now.
 
They said something about a chocolate shop being a new place of interest but hard to tell what's going on.


What kind of response does Australia use for hostage situations? I automatically think there's a type of HRT similar to our FBI? Dudes at work have mentioned SAS but that sounds "strong"

Whenever someone mentions to shoot through the window, I immediately think back to the Good Guys hostage taking:


Another thought: The media should not be allowed in the area. They are filming teams stacked up on doors and EOD getting ready to go in, and other types of personnel in the area. If there are accomplices in town or TV's in the cafe, then the media is giving any bad guys involved important intel. While I want to watch it, I just don't think it is a good idea, much like media on the battle field.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Iranian refugee known for sending hate mail to the families of Australian soldiers killed overseas and facing several charges of sexual assault is the armed man holding an unknown number of hostages in a Sydney cafe, a police source said on Tuesday.

Man Haron Monis, a self-styled sheikh, remained holed up in the cafe some 15 hours after the siege began.

"There's no operational reason for that name to be held back by us now," said the police source, who declined to be identified.

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.

Earlier this year, Monis, who describes himself as a "spiritual healer", was charged with the indecent and sexual assault of a Sydney woman in 2002. Further charges were laid in October.

Monis's website shows graphic images of children that the website says were killed by U.S. and Australian airstrikes, as well as media coverage following Monis's court appearances and statements addressed to the Muslim community and Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

Local media reported his age at 49 or 50.

What was the end result of this standoff?
i.e. any bad guys survive?
Hostage injuries?

Lots of hostages injured (11 by the gunmen after the entry), three killed during the event. 3 out of 4 bad guys killed, the last one was wounded.

Did I see a hostage casualty? Looks like a middle aged woman.
Oh, and whilst I'm here, what a marvellous contribution to humanity this man was, he could have saved it.

I saw at least one. I am not she if that's the same person they were trying to revive outside.
 
CQB said:
Not entirely agreeing there, only one POI & one hostage so far dead, a couple of others wounded.

The first part of my post was in relation to a 1991 hostage situation (the largest in the US with 50 hostages) that went bad (SOWT was asking about it).

They are currently declaring the POI in this situation dead.

Embedded media from this media site is no longer available

I cannot confirm the validity of these video's but thought I would share.

Edit: I can't post the link, but there are two other videos/
 
Right now, the #1 trending tweet is #illridewithyou -- referring to Australians offering to accompany Muslims on public transport so that they don't get harassed in response to this incident (yeah right, like that's going to be an epidemic). Basically, all the fucknuts on twitter would rather give sympathy for all the poor helpless Muslims (dripping sarcasm right there) rather than the actual victims? I hope all those shits get taken hostage by IS, seriously. Fuck this generation of cunts.

We're heading towards the point where it'll simply no longer be worth fighting for the ungrateful fucktards living in our countries.
 
2 innocents murdered by this piece of shit before police managed to kill him. One of the murdered was fighting with the terrorist over the gun.

Monis was on bail for dozens of charges, including 22 of aggravated sexual assault and 14 of aggravated indecent assault, according to the
Australian Associated Press.
Stemming from his time as a “spiritual healer”, an additional 40 charges were levelled against him
in October and he was also on bail for being an accessary to murder.
