The guy that bumped into the gunman before he entered the store said that the gunman was with two others who were similarly dressed. Just heard ABC reiterate that there’s only one, so...conflicting information, I guess.

“Hizb ut-Tahrir” which is a pan Islamist movement w/ branches in many nations.

IOW, a worldwide Caliphate? That is what the Terrorist Bastards mean when Western Idiots say “pan Islamist”.

Yeah, that's what it means:

The guy leaving told the terrorist watch where you’re going, was asked ‘do you want me to shoot you, too?’

The police will only confirm one. I think his quote was: There is at least one.

Hizb is a big muzzie group. Probably easier to buy that flag on eBay than a first edition ISIS flag.

It’s not clear yet if this event is home grown or imported.

I hope I’m wrong but this is looking more and more like it could be Australia’s 9/11.

So there are three guys, they’re putting i-ed jackets on hostages. One hostage tweeted ‘be cautious’. Terrorists obviously have demands. Communications are not shut down in the CBD.

That’s what I heard them say, too, and I have no reason to doubt them.

Just going by what I see. I don’t have a clue what’s written on the other flags I looked at but the lettering looks different.

Hence, the opinion that different groups may have their own flags.

They ‘have to’ keep them talking...there are other considerations.

I just read the top rated 20 or so comments on the Daily Mail article. The comments are overwhelmingly anti-muzzie. People are waking up...but western leadership lags behind in many nations.

QUite possibly - it’s not something I’ve looked into.

I’m hoping this is a ‘lone nut’. It’s still not good, but if he’s got back up outside things could be much worse.

I have never actually tested the idea of shooting through glass. I do remember what Col. Jeff Cooper said about James Bond.

In one of the books it is mentioned that Bond earned his double O rating by killing a Japanese spy. He supposedly shot the guy through a plate glass window with a 30-30 (a 30-30?).

Jeff Cooper commented that they should have given Bond the crown jewels for making that shot not just a 00 number.

That happened on 12th October 2002.

As bad as this is, and on home soil, I don't think it is that bad, or will lead to as much change as that did.
