So I've been thinking, what are the chances that this guy meant to attack a Max Brenner store, but got confused and hit the wrong chocolate cafe? Just saying, it would explain the Jihad flag.

I feel sorry for the man. He obviously has issues and did not get the support he needs. Probably because of how racist Australia is, and prejudiced against non whites. The social problems caused by a Australians vilification of the Other leads to tragic outcomes. This warped interpretation has no credible relation with true Islam.

Hang on, you're making this entirely reasonable statement as a joke, right?

Totally, more nonsense from the media trying to drown out the voices of the oppressed with the 'victims' of 'terror' and their anodyne propaganda trying to humanize her so-called friends. How about we let this man's demands be heard at least? What are they trying to hide from us? If they can't comply with demands for us to stop wreaking terror on the Ummah then surely it's not beyond the abilities of the fascists in government to get him that sexy young goat he asked for?

If the guy was actually Islamic state affiliated would of though he would of asked for an Islamic state flag, not an ISIL/ISIS one, as you know they don't actually use that name any more.

Anyway it seems like the police are using negotiation as their main way to resolve this which is pretty optimistic as negotiation tend to end with out loss of life when handed properly.


So far the police have seem to be handing this about as well as you can possible handle something like this.
I've been watching it all day and I can't really fault their handling of anything. They're trying to keep people calm, they're damping down on speculation, they're being very confident about how they're going to negotiate for as long as it takes, they're sharing what they can and no more. It's amazingly sensible considering NSW cops also managed to tase a guy to death for stealing a pack of biscuits not long ago.

I've seen many posters all over Sydney calling for the boycott of Max Brenner because of his support for Israel, so that was the first thing I thought too. Maybe he got the wrong cafe while carrying the wrong flag. A sad day for ISIS.

I'm also thankful this entire debacle occurred today rather than yesterday; the prospect of that small, struggling Lindt cafe paying overtime for the hostage staff while also paying them Sunday penalty rates would surely annihilate the business, another indicator of how poorly thought-out and planned this attack really was

"Palestine" is a recent invention. The Jews have indigenous rights to that land, we were occupying it for thousands of years before the Arabs forcibly drove us off it. Just because the most recent generation of Palestinians never did any conquering doesn't mean that the land is suddenly theirs.

Buried news of the day: Coles admits unconscionable conduct in dealing with suppliers; $10 million penalty agreed with ACCC

quote:

The ACCC said the supermarket's Active Retail Collaboration (ARC) program attempted to force 200 suppliers to pay the rebates in relation to apparent supply chain improvements.

The ACCC alleged that Coles' target was to obtain $16 million in ARC rebates from smaller suppliers and was ultimately seeking an ongoing ARC rebate in the form of a percentage of the price it paid for the supplier's grocery products.

seriously but tahat boycott thing is disingenuous as gently caress


a) boycotting a shop never loving changed a thing and is a good way for effete darlinghurst bourgies to feel better about doing something without actually doing anything

b) its loving ridiculous to boycott max b when still shopping at coles which causes hundreds of suicide farmers and droughts every year

Reportedly he's 40-50'ish but other than that I would say that probable. There's unfortunately quite a few people out there pretty much just waiting for an excuses.

A false flag attack is when an country/organization commits a terrorist attack or whatever but pretends to be a different country/organization to get sympathy by making the other guys look bad. Conspiracy theorists like to cry false flag every time something like this happens. But this guy actually had a flag that was not the isis flag he apparently wanted, making this a literal false flag operation
