Don't think I saw this posted, and I haven't seen it elsewhere, but it's a video of the hostages relaying messages and demands from the gunman. Faces and names blurred. I'm about to leave the office but if it's deemed unacceptable I apologise and can a mod please take it down: Pretty sure it features deceased person(s). http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ea1_1418646267

Fairfax already posted unblurred video of the hostages relaying demands. 'cause gently caress decency, there's clicks to bait! The same organization has published multiple op-eds decrying media coverage of the incident.

That's actually real, isn't it? I mean, I can see the Twitter comment itself on the site, but that's actually his personal account and this is a legit tweet and not just Poe's Law making me its bitch? Feels silly to ask I guess but it just seems so ... inhuman seems the most appropriate word.

Yes, that is his personal account, and yes he runs it himself. I guess the upside is that you can tell him to kill heself directly?

In fairness, I'm pretty sure people of all ethnicities have a similarly pale skin tone after you've drained them of all their blood to sustain your god cursed existence, so Rupes might technically be speaking the truth here.

Even the Brady Campaign admits guns are used to defend life or limb >100,000 times a year, so it's a net positive. Aussie women are raped 3x higher per capita than American women and your homes invaded 2x as often. Those rape vics should just be glad they get to be part of progress though.  thatbastardken posted:yeah more guns would result in less australians. good argument

Now you're just spewing poo poo out your arse. Australia has a slightly higher rate of reported rapes (~5% more) than the US, but the US has something like 13x more violent rapes per capita. I'm sure we don't have twice as many home invasions per capita either. Edit: clearly a troll, drat it

Err, where are you getting your stats from? While Australia's rate of rape per head of population is 5% greater than the US (289 vs 274 per million people), the rate of ALL murders is 4 times higher in the states (10.4 vs 42.0). http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Australia/United-States/Crime Edit: Wow - that was quick

There's already a change.org petition asking for stronger bail laws. I reckon people have a bit too simplistic a view of things and this is a kneejerk.

What happens when some random crazy who hasn't commited any offenses or even been charged goes and does something like this? I'm talking just someone with a history of mental health issues in regards to this, but what would people suggest then? We just lock up anyone who suffers from mental illness?

Glad to see you're quibbling about some numbers and totally ignoring the other numbers that even our top gun control group admits to: ~10,000 gun homicides a year in the U.S. vs. >100,000 defensive gun uses against serious bodily harm/death.
