Sydney cafe being held up now isis flag in window

Yeah, they went in, flashbangs & sporadic gunfire. They just showed a crying woman being carried out by police.

CPR being done?

They're working on someone, performing CPR. I couldn't tell if it was the perp or not.

I propose that we deport all of our convicted criminals to an island far away. Hey, there's this little island off the coast of France...:lol

You do see the irony here right? ...

I'm pretty sure that was the point... but hey, who knows?

Maybe a bomb has been detonated.

Paramedics with stretchers going in now. Looks like there may have been casualties.

Other reports are some hostages carried out, and that means hostages may have been injured in the raid.

Couldn't tell, stupid lack of tone with text ...

4 stretchers ... I wonder if this happened all of a sudden because he harmed a hostage(s)

oh they stormed it, wow

I can't believe they went in without an imminent threat to the hostages. Just guessing at this point though.

Hell of a lot of gunshots. Like 20 seconds worth of loud cracks and bangs. I really hope no hostages are injured.

yes, just all of sudden and quickly ... the news was just talking showing live picture of a group of LE's standing around, a couple in uniform, a couple in light armour, and a couple in heavy armour so I thought something was going to happen soon, and without warning or any other cues ... bang, bang, bang

It is an islamic flag but not an IS flag. Someone told me it has a Saudi font and says in arabic "There is no god but God; Muhammad is the messenger of God" . It's a Jihad flag.

So another Saudi-backed false flag then eh? I think I get the picture. No coincidence that this takes place right across the street from a tv station.

I'm currently wondering what the hell were the TAC Teams thinking. I watched one group go in and then the second group in overwatch started tossing stun grenades right after them. They basically just stunned their own guys!

Heard on CNN they believe something may have happened to one of the hostages that triggered the police to move in. Four people on stretchers. Reports of one police officer being injured.

None of those on the stretchers appeared to be the hostage taker.

Not good. My thoughts are with those involved in this clusterf# of a situation that just hit the fan.

The EOD guys nearby were a cue that something was going to go down soon. They usually stay in the background until needed.

Exactly
