This looked like about as simple a hostage situation as it gets, yet it resulted in failure with multiple dead.

I've emphasised two very important words there.

Did you see the chemical warfare trucks?

Did you see the two camera feeds that the police asked not to be shown to the public while they allowed the feeds we saw to be public?

We didn't see everything. We didn't come close.

You can't base much at all on what it "looked like" with the limited information that is out there in public.

(Note - I'm not claiming I have access to anything else or anything because at this point I don't - just pointing out that we saw very little of what was going on).

So relax if you don’t know anything about it.

We are discussing a news story and speculating, and so far we have two dead and at least one wounded, it will take a heck of a lot of new information to turn this disaster into a success.
