Now if you were a terrorist and you had a choice of 2 targets to send your particular radical message from would you target - a.) A cafe belonging to a large confectionery chain. b.) A national media station. I'm going to guess these guys are in way over their heads.

Whatever the outcome (hopefully peaceful) it sends a strong message to Lindt that their products should be Halal and not harem.

cpaf posted:Is this even a proper terrorist attack yet? It's a hostage situation with no casualties, no bombs, no demands and the only indication it isn't anything more than a poorly-thought out hostage situation is the shahada flag. Not really, doesn't stop our media from leading the audience down that road though. Some people don't actually need facts to allow them to cry from the rooftops all sorts of garbage. Really the best thing to do is turn the news feed off and let it play itself out. I should follow my own advice as I've probably spent an unproductive hour this morning following the siege. The only thing different from this and many other siege situations that probably occur on a weekly basis is that yes a Shahada flag is on display and it's in Martin Place.

NTRabbit posted:These two guys are just gonna end up being late teenage/early twenties no hopers who follow the ISIS facebook page, were considered too stupid to take by ISIS recruiters and wanted to do their part anyway, right? I thought it was a lone gunman and from the grainy pictures I'm seeing of him - he looks more like a grizzled middle aged biker then the traditional jihadist I'm used to seeing in the media.

The Welfare Lobby posted:Here's another dose of social media idiocy doing the rounds today. Hahaha someone actually told me that story the other day, but changed it too something like "oh my besties mother's cousin found a wallet the other day ..etc etc" I laughed at them and told them it was a dumb story and she got all offended - okay it was my wife and she didn't talk to me for the rest of the day. Feel pretty vindicated now if it's part of a dumb social media 'thing' doing the rounds.

Rapner posted:I just checked and they actually aren't Halal certified. Maybe it's actually a test of faith? I mean I'm pretty sure I couldn't go an 18hr siege without having just of those loving delicious chocolate Lindt balls I get every Christmas. They are just so moreish. But then again I'm not a religious fundamentalist either.

adamantium|wang posted:Muslim Press Release The Black Flag is kinda ominous. At least to non-Islamic types. I mean the only Black Flag ever flown by Westerners was the Jolly Roger which is pretty much etched into Anglo-Saxon racial memory as being a symbol of unpleasantness. Someone should politely show the relevant Muslim authority the Mitchell and Webb - "Are we the Baddies?" skit, making the flag not as 'scary' might help with the PR.

Wondering why a dude who has a long list of rather serious charges against him is able to get bail. Apparently accessory to murder and a number of sexual assault charges are not enough to keep one imprisoned.

One of my work colleagues was a first responder to the Strathfield massacre. I doubt he'd share that view.

Anidav posted:There's no doubt it's in motion but I think there will be atleast another wave of Australian innovators before the Coalition destroys it and sends them all the the mines. That ship has sailed for now, despite Abbott believing coal will continue to light the way for the Australian economy for the decades to come - it will and it won't, mining runs in cycles and we haven't seen the end of this trough and probably won't for a few years, barring some unforeseen external event (GFC style China building mass infrastructure projects to stimulate growth etc). Investment in mining continues to dwindle as we are in the production phase as the various mining companies in both iron ore and coal aim to produce record tonnages, at the lowest possible cost and whichever companies are left standing at the end of the current round of lovely commodity prices "win" until the next cycle of investment starts and we do it all again.
