If there is just one or two and they are walking around in view like that, it can't be long before that window shatters suddenly and he drops to the floor in a bloody mess.
I hope they are that amateur and dumb.
2. Using a woman as a human shield (obviously not in that photo though)I hope they are that amateur and dumb.

One report says 40-50 people could be in cafe.
I've heard from two sources they're thinking 12 or 13 are inside, although Lindt have said 40 is a normal number for that time of the morning - let's hope for the lower number. I can't see this ending well so the sooner they can take out the terrorists the better, based on all other negotiations with such people negotiating will be pointless and just give them more time to spew their 'message'.B17NNS said:

So you're praying that your sky fairy will intervene and is victorious against the bad man who's doing the other sky fairy's work?dandarez said:
So does any normal person. Good luck! And to the poor buggers holed up with the nutjobs.
In late just hearing about this/ One report says 40-50 people could be in cafe.
Chrise, 9 days to Christmas when all sane people are thinking about nothing but Christmas.
Perhaps we all ought to be a little more vigilant over the coming days (here as well, I mean).

I'm beginning to think lone nutter with no affiliation.
What I was thinking. The fact he hasn't done anything after an hour or more is encouraging too, mainly in hope he won't kill anyone but wants press attention. Other terrorist events tend to start the killing instantly. As time passes the Police will fill in all the gaps and maybe work out if he is a long nutter and can take him down without risk. 200bhp said:
Does Australia have much experience in dealing with this kind of thing?
I don't think many actual terrorist incidents, but plenty of non-terrorist criminal matters, and I'm sure they are very well trained.As linked previously, they have a huge number of ongoing investigations and I don't think Australians would be surprised that something has happened.
