[QUOTE=Apache249;46715700]The police only know what they know.[/QUOTE] But notice how they refrain from talking about what they don't know. The deputy police commissioner was great at not falling for the reporters bullshit questioning.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46715711]"are you treating this as a terrorist act" [editline]15th December 2014[/editline] "what about the Queensland Police commissioner" why are they fucking bothering her about other state commissioners[/QUOTE] It's like asking your dad about something and then following up with "but mum said". Scumbag reporting strong-arming.

[QUOTE=GunFox;46715644]They tried to take over Europe. They behave Like barbarians, so we treat them like barbarians, and they respond by acting even more barbaric. They can complain about western interventionism when they stop acting like the cultural cesspool of the planet. I'm not going to be bogged down by some Mannheim-esq historical relativism.[/QUOTE] Aside from the rest of the inane bullshit that makes up this post, do you seriously think Muslim expansion into Spain and Eastern Europe 300+ years ago justifies anything anymore?

Do you foam at the mouth at the mention of another culture? Does it come naturally to you?

No really, do I need to add anything else to the OP? Also it seems that the ABC cameraman is experiencing an earthquake. I hope everything goes peacefully - my dad is in a tower in Martin place and can't leave.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;46715733]You speak of "they" "they" "they". Who are "They"? Muslims? Do you foam at the mouth at the mention of another culture? Does it come naturally to you?[/QUOTE] Shut up. Hopefully the police get a better insight from the hostages.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46715766]yes there is, police have confirmed it multiple times that he has possession of some sort of firearm[/QUOTE] If that's the case, ABC hasn't mentioned it.

[QUOTE=Apache249;46715770]If that's the case, ABC hasn't mentioned it.[/QUOTE] the commissioner said it tho
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46715773]the commissioner said it tho[/QUOTE] He said "armed." I didn't hear him mention firearms once.
[QUOTE=CG-105;46715730]Aside from the rest of the inane bullshit that makes up this post, do you seriously think Muslim expansion into Spain and Eastern Europe 300+ years ago justifies anything anymore?[/QUOTE] Remember this is the forum where someone justified their islamophobia by what happened in the middle ages. I assume he's entirely sincere
[QUOTE=Apache249;46715775]He said "armed." I didn't hear him mention firearms once.[/QUOTE] armed means he has a firearm he is armed he is classified as a gunman
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46715789]armed means he has a firearm he is armed he is classified as a gunman[/QUOTE] Merriam-Webster says "furnished with weapons <an armed guard>; also : using or involving a weapon"
Alright you gits, before this drags onto some fucking two page argument... Firearms are firearms. If it's a fucking airgun, it's still a firearm. End of.
[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;46715804]Alright you gits, before this drags onto some fucking two page argument... Firearms are firearms. If it's a fucking airgun, it's still a firearm. End of.[/QUOTE] What are you doing? He was referred to as "armed". That means he has a weapon. It doesn't specify what kind. For all we know he has a bomb.
lol apparently a member of the Australian defense league (read: right-wing nutters) has been moved on after going to the CBD solely to rant about muslims
Can we like stop presuming what he has in his hands and talk about what we know? Geez guys, you are worse than tabloids.
[QUOTE=Lonestriper;46715778]Remember this is the forum where someone justified their islamophobia by what happened in the middle ages. I assume he's entirely sincere[/QUOTE] I wonder if the fall of Constantinople keeps these people up at night.
This is starting to feel like a false flag op... Im happy no one is hurt... but to have the flag, no deaths, no motive or demands... it just feels very weird. Hopefully things will be more clear in the next few hours.
[QUOTE=CG-105;46715819]I wonder if the fall of Constantinople keeps these people up at night.[/QUOTE] mate that's the day the music died
"Channel 9 is reporting the 3 hostages escaped and were not released." Guess that's why the were legging it out of there.
They showed the same clip 50+ times, and now they blur their faces and talk about protecting the officers' identities.

I'm not going to be bogged down by some Mannheim-esq historical relativism.[/QUOTE] did you not read my post or what the reason that it's the "cultural cesspool of the world" is because their societies have been wrecked by political instability and despotism. [URL="http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/MG741-1.html"]terrorism ends where political representation and effective policing begins.[/URL] [URL="http://www.nber.org/papers/w10859.pdf"]the societies where terrorism is most likely are societies with less political rights.[/URL] but of course, you don't actually care about what causes terrorism. you just want to justify your contempt for 23% of the world's population.
I guess the cops are atleast partially inside the building. You can tell by the cop exiting the building after the 3rd escapee.
