Breaking News: Hostages taken in Sydney

[Saviola]

Most the source is ABC24 but I don't know if that's Aus channel or not.

Yh that's an Aus channel. Not seen news of packages found but the authorites have had a few calls they are taking precautions over.

They have just reported a person has gone missing after entering the nearby hospital, no idea if related yet.

 

[robfosters]

Is it just one gunman?

 

[Rroff]

Is it just one gunman?

Seems like 2 so far.

 

[foster grant]

Looks like an older guy...in his 40s

 

[Noxia]

One looks pretty old. He has some sort of vest or gilet on but can't tell from picture if it's just clothing item or something else.

 

[foster grant]

Yeah he seems to maybe have a backpack on too ?

 

[Vinno]

What a horrible world we live in...

Hopefully it ends well for the poor people being held prisoner in there.

 

[foster grant]

Yeah lol...John Clark and hes crew

 

[Saviola]

Someone has just been arrested at the scene with a handgun. Siege still on though.

 

[Noxia]

Something really unsettling about seeing that guy with the rucksack next to a giant gold smiley Lindt bear.

 

[Vinno]

At least its not the Gold Bunny with the little bell. That would break my heart.

 

[Freakbro]

Just reported on BBC that there had been a previous threat of a public beheading at the same place this siege has happened

 

[foster grant]

Thats not good

 

[dunker]

will this stop Neighbors? nope! new Neighbors plot omg you flaming galaarr! Bruce has a suicide vest plot!?

 

[Luke]

Hilarious. Oh so funny.

 

[Stretch]

From what I've seen on the news, it doesn't seem like the hostage takers are very bright.

 

[Luke]

Based on what?

 

[Malevolence]

The religion of peace is at it again.

 

[Ephemera]

The religion of peace is at it again.

Let's not blame religion for individuals actions, people do bad things with seemingly little justification.

 

[Danthus]

Let's just hope the perpetrator doesn't truly believe there are lots of virgins waiting for him.
