Report From Australia

Writes J.D. Steelman:

The media and government are trying to whitewash the events in Sydney at the Lindt Café.  Channel 7, whose studio facilities are directly across from the café, are reporting that a police sniper killed the gunman AND then the police firing started. If this is so then it means that the dead and injured are the result of the police not the gunman.  When you see the footage being aired on local TV here in Sydney it is a wonder anyone survived the police attack.

Curiously the Lindt company (owners of the café) official statement expresses sorrow for the deaths, injury, and trama to the customers, staff and their friends and family BUT does not mention anything about the police and government agencies handling of the matter. This suggests their displeasure with the manner in which this was handled by the police and the government agencies.

The gunman was a bit of a local publicity hound for his causes and apparently selected the café because it is in the financial and government district of Sydney and also across from the local TV station, Channel 7. I knew the Big End of Town, as the ruling class is called in Sydney, would not let the siege go into the morning trading day and so it did not.
