Channel 10 is reporting that the gunman has requested two things. (1) to talk to the Prime Minister, and (2) for police to provide him with an ISIS flag. He claims that there are two bombs inside the cafe, and two more elsewhere in Sydney.
www.smh.com.au...
So we were right ALL along.
Perhaps. We still don't know why he wants the flag. I don't care though, as long as he releases some hostages once he gets it. Whatever secures the safety of civilians.
EDIT: That reminds me though, that there was chatter a couple of months back about draping an ISIS flag over a civilian and beheading them...i hope that is not what the terrorist wants it for...if the authorities are going to go ahead with providing him with an ISIS flag, they better be ready to raid the joint while he is distracted.
Aren't firearms illegal in Australia?????

How did this happen?

no -No not at all.ere are more restrictions than in the US, but there's plenty of legally owned guns - although the NRA might like you to believe otherwise.
Great!
Thanks for answering my question!
Gun control doesn't work!

Sadly when he said he wanted an ISIL/ISIS flag, that was my thought as to why he wanted it. I just pray to God that I'm wrong.

Yeah that would not be good... It's possible that could be the motivation behind it, but seeing how it's been hours now and 6 hostages have been freed/escaped I just don't think it's the case. A true ISIS member/leader would have wiped out most if not all of the hostages by now. The brutality just hasn't taken shape in this. I think we are just looking at a publicity stunt, IMO.
f you actually take the time to look at the link. The only firearms the average person MIGHT have is a Single Shot Rifle or maybe a Shotgun if 'genuine need' is demonstrated.
