Around here It's almost always either a false flag, fake with crisis actors, or some part of a grand Zionist/mossad conspiracy.

Nice led zeppelin song. Regardless, im not sold on conspiracy i play devils advocate at times only to keep my mind sharp. JFK is a conspiracy i agree. However maintaining the level of control that higher levels of conspiracy suggest, would make the manipulators omnipotent or omnipresent. All that id like to see is everyone get out alive today.

Not sure how we got to Led Zep - and I can't believe I'm saying these words... But please get back to the topic of idiots taking hostages.
This is one strange planet we live on.

This isn't a conspiracy false flag.. some man has taken hostages.. this man is apparently a jihadist, appears middle eastern in appearance, carries around shahadah flags with him and takes his hostages across from news stations.. just a day after the police made a couple of arrests of extremists who were recruiting Australian jihadists to go to Syria to fight..
your right.. I am sure all that is pretend.. never mind there are people recruiting jihadists to go to syria, nevermind even Muslims tell you extremists exist and ISIS is killing innocent people - Muslims even...
forget all the facts.. just pretend its all pretend..

The Grand Mufti of Australia has condemned the hostage incident and the criminal(s) involved, saying that he and the Islamic councils stand firm with the community on the matter.

"consistent with terrorism"
For all we know, it still could just be one crazy loon.
Also, watching the policemen behind a reporter...they seem pretty relaxed to me! If the threat was big, you'd think they'd be looking a bit more nervous!

little wonder they would be paralyzed with fear ...
especially if they are trained to hide under their desks!

I heard that the woman was approaching the cafe when a hostage indicated to her to leave. Then, the gunman, holding a sports bag, pulled out a weapon. If that's the case, then it makes sense that the woman had seen the gun and called police.
There was another incident, before the gunman entered the building, where a man who had left the cafe had actually bumped into him. He asked the gunman to watch where he was walking, and was promptly threatened with death.
Two different reports of a man with a sports bag...there's more than one witness before this event went down.
