I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but according to google maps this is what the inside of the cafe looks like (I thought some of you might have a general interest in it) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1lVTqDA.jpg[/IMG] Edit: And since we now know who the guy is, heres his Twitter: [url]https://twitter.com/sheikh_haron[/url] Its an interesting read.
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;46717846]"Holy shit people can't have personal opinions that don't affect his perfomance as a community babysitter get him fired!"[/QUOTE] Even if it's an opinion, it's retarded. People forget Portugal is right next with Spain in the peninsula and we have next to nothing influence from Islam. It's either Christianity, Catholics or atheists.
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;46717846]"Holy shit people can't have personal opinions that don't affect his perfomance as a community babysitter get him fired!"[/QUOTE] pretty sure hes not going to ban people for being islamophobic/xenophobic cunts (a bannable offense) when he is one himself

Disagreeing with a religion does not make you a xenophobe / islamophobe. If I held prejudice against people based on religion, that would be, but really I don't judge someone on their political or religious views as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. That said, I disagree with a lot of views that any religion has, and especially don't like how the islamic religion is a breeding ground of extremism. Something in that culture definitely needs to change to discourage extremist violence.
In case any of you are interested in the WhoIs of the terrors suspects (now taken down) website. [URL]https://who.is/whois/https://www.sheikhharon.com[/URL] One interesting thing to note that Reddit pointed out is that a phone number is on there, could it be his? Edit: Someone on reddit claimed to of tried it, said the line was engaged.

[QUOTE=mokkan;46717924]he hates muslims and calls them barbarians for stuff that happened in literally medieval times.[/QUOTE] What the fuck does any of this have to do with the hostage situation?
According to the journalists behind the FreeNewsAU people, theres a rumor the SAS are about to go in. Heres the stream for anyone interested, you have to turn the volume up high to hear them: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOJWvZt7a5c[/url]

[QUOTE=mokkan;46717924]he hates muslims and calls them barbarians for stuff that happened in literally medieval times.[/QUOTE] I wasn't talking about him specifically, more of explaining how I personally feel about different cultures and religions in regards to events like this. Something needs to change in the way people view and practicee the muslim faith in order to discourage extremism.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46717936]nothing on 9 or ABC yet[/QUOTE] I don't imagine that 9 or ABC will say that they're about to invade, but that stream is the same one ABC is using for their footage. Edit: Should clarify that the camera is set up right at the cordoned off point for the media, theres domestic and international journalists there including some of our big names earlier in the day, but still take all the info with a grain of salt at this point.
also ever since the 70's, (bombings, hijackings, 9-11. ISIS, ect) the amount of islamic violence has definitely swayed people into thinking that they are barbarians, which is not the right way to think. It's a knee jerk reaction to the whole "not all muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are muslim" thing. It's the wrong way think about these things but people still do it. The only thing to do is preach the correct way to practice being a Muslim, and never condone violence (which I think is being done?) but really this is a whole other debate and I think this thread is better suited to the events at hand

[QUOTE=-n3o-;46717814]Man behind siege [/QUOTE] With a criminal record like that, why didn't Australia expedite him?The immigration policies are so tight it's hard even for decent honest people to emigrate, and yet this lunatic still managed to somehow get in...how?
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46717965]9 has a better view tbh[/QUOTE] Link to the stream?
Does anyone have stream links?
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;46717965]9 has a better view tbh[/QUOTE] Would love to see all the views I can, but I dont get normal TV anymore, I just use everything digital.

[QUOTE=mokkan;46715963]how are you a mod wtf[/QUOTE] He should not be a mod because he has a controversial opinion? Facepunch and its "progressive hurr" mind.
[01:58] 9 News reveals the gunman has brought medication with him to help himself stay awake. Source: 9 News Broadcast. Looks like its going to go all night... But watching that footage of the Swat outside, They have more there than they had before.
another one has escaped
Another man just got out
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;46717868]Even if it's an opinion, it's retarded. [/QUOTE] No shit, but how does that justify using that as basis for questioning his position as a moderator right now?
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;46718000]He should not be a mod because he has a controversial opinion? Facepunch and its "progressive hurr" mind.[/QUOTE] You can have controversial opinions, but I'm pretty sure being racist or whatever is still extremely frowned upon, even if you are conservative. It has nothing to do with being progressive
One more out, bringing it to 6 who have escaped.
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;46718017]No shit, but how does that justify using that as basis for questioning his position as a moderator right now?[/QUOTE] Because a racist/xenophobe isn't going to ban racism/xenophobia genius
