Australia, We Will Not Be Terrorised

In case you have no idea the Sydney Hostage crisis is now in it’s 14th hour. An apparent lone gunman has taken many hostages in a busy cafe in the CBD of Sydney demanding an ISIS flag and to speak with the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott.

I cannot imagine how the hostages must be feeling. This is very scary. Australia has not had a terrorist attack on home soil before.

However it seems that the authorities are handling it very well. 5 hostages have escaped and are giving information. It’s really good to see the media being responsible in not showing the videos which have been released on youtube with the demands of this madman. In fact youtube has now taken them down.

I love that!

We cannot allow these crazies to terrorise citizens in any country. By not giving them airtime and social media reach we effectively kill their ability to reach the masses and their demands and calls to like minded brothers is thwarted.

This is how you handle a crisis.

As for the people who are jeering about our gun control laws… really? This is our first terror attack on home soil EVER, we have no massacres, no school shootings, no mall shootings, no mass shootings of any kind. So seriously, shut the fuck up.

Australia is a peaceful resilient country who doesn’t subscribe to the same hype as the US, watching the news coverage is very interesting, calls for calm, calls for no retaliation or backlash to the wider muslim community is commendable.

Today I am even more proud to be an Australian.

Hoping for a peaceful end. The world is watching.

    That’s right. We must continue to let the governments, ultra wealthies and media do that. Oh not physically, just emotionally and financially.

    I guess that makes me a terrorist now because I don’t tow the line.
