Hostage drama happening now in Martin Place Sydney

[Bird]

As in....... Nothing positive to say about it, but goes down hill really fast?

pretty much reading some of the above posts..

just had a coffee/team meeting in the coffee shop with the tele on, the tv people were now starting to rivet on about the blame game - the cops ... 'should they have acted faster'...
not that they could have...

It's not Hollywood.

What if you miss?

What if he actually had explosives and they are rigged to a dead mans switch?

What if he had a nearby accomplice who would trigger them if he got shot?

What if he actually had a fellow bad guy in there that entered earlier sitting quietly having a coffee with an explosive vest on waiting for his mate to be shot? 

Until you have those answers you can only react to the situation as it evolves.

I'll respectfully disagree with you on this one Dazzler. I personally think they got it tragically wrong.

One of the great things about Australia is that we can have differing opinions, neither necessarily right or wrong but we have the absolute right to them.

Hopefully the facts will slowly come out and then we can all share views on what should or should not have had happened in the light of the truth.

The fact is we know very little and do not have the experience or training of those making these calls.

We can all be heroes and hindsight experts behind a keyboard, I for one am glad no one I know was involved in anyway.

I also hope none of the MySwag family had people involved too.

All the investigations, inquiries, and what ifs wont bring back the victims in this, or the effect it will have on their families and the rest of society. At this point, my opinion won't change anything, so its time to move on. The best way I can respect those involved is to say nothing other than my condolences.

Yep, I agree, I think this thread has reached its use by date. Time to move on folks.
