The ongoing siege in Sydney is not even over yet, but Australians are already showing what Mateship means to us!

Not concerned about the POS in the cafe. More concerned about the 2 cronies at unknown locations that aparently have bombs ready to detonate.

Thoughts are with the people trapped in the cafe and thier families.

Dont judge all Muslims by the actions of a few. But Judge those who pull this type of watermelon with extreme shows of force.

Eventually you will recognize the sickness for what it is.

Yes, mental health is a problem. its not treated well anywhere in the world atm. People who are not diagnosed correctly, can be influenced to extreme ideas whether they are religious or geopolitical views. A robust healthcare system, can help.

You can't cure mental illness with lead. 60 Minutes had a very good story on it last night. Insurance companies have multiple Doctors with 100% denial rates. The interview Scott Pelley had with Dr. Paul Keith was shameful.

Problem is when so many members of the group either openly or covertly stand so close to the fundamentalist it is hard not be to paint them with the same brush

How's that anti-gun stance working out for the citizens of Sydney?

Probaby prevented a dozen such incidents so far Hard to keep someone at gunpoint when you have no gun to point. Even if the patrons would have been packing, starting a shootout in a full cafe with a maniac wouldn't end very well and the shooter would most likely be prosecuted if survived.

[Fish42]

Because what every tense situation needs is a spark.

Atm the lack of guns has stopped the a full shoot out. In fact, all people involved are scared but alive at this point, and I hope that all people involved including the police  and the gunman will be make it out alive. Put him behind bars, using the rules of our country. Killing him would only give fuel to the hate.

sorry,  you can't use "probably" as an argument. The gunman seemed to have little issue getting a gun.

There will always be guns. If someone started shooting it out vigilante style in the face there might be 10 corpses right now instead of hostages.
