First I've ever heard of Delingpole so I googled him a bit

quote:

Delingpole described himself "as a member of probably the most discriminated-against subsection in the whole of British society—the white, middle-aged, public-school-and-Oxbridge educated middle-class male," and followed with "The function of satire is not only to make us laugh, but also, with luck, to draw our attention to the things that are wrong with the world and help mock them into extinction."

Good to hear he's just a satirist I guess

Any insight on how this nutcase managed to arm himself? I thought Australia was pretty strict about guns and this guy doesn't seem like he had the mental capacity to trick anyone into believing he was sane.

Probably bought it from a bikie gang, the sawn off shotgun is basically the bread and butter weapon of the common criminal here, because a shotgun is the easiest gun to get a licence for, and hence most commonly stolen.

Agreed. I remember when she was talking to students protesting Abbott at a uni, "Do you think youve wasted a oppportunity to have a conversation with the prime minister?" Come the gently caress on.

The guy responsible. Good profile here: http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2014/dec/15/man-haron-monis-sydney-siege-suspect

Came to Aus as an Iranian refugee in 1996. On bail after being charged as an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife. Radical self-styled spiritual leader. There's a lot of meat for the Hadley set in this.

The bail thing is really that it was going to dismiss the charges as the case against him on that was paper thin. A lunatic he might be but that doesn't mean he's guilty of everything.

The host on the ABC morning show talking to his former lawyer about his bail is laughably stupid. The lawyer did a good job of smacking her down when she was implying he shouldn't have been bailed.

Seriously, she's complete poo poo. The American she was just talking to was even worse, saying the police should've stormed the cafe much earlier.

It's possible to get guns for hunting so he may have just bought a shotgun from a store, although he did have some sort of criminal record and might have got it illegally.

Islam as a religion of peace doesn't exist in a vacuum. There plenty of other factors in play, notably in this case the mental health of a practitioner.
