I'm sure it's real, btw He has the wrong flag.

OMG that video. I doubt there are bombs in the vicinity as everything points to this being the work of a disorganised lone wolf.

Most of Australia is late night so I hope the nation wakes up to good news of the ordeal being finished.

Surely if its a loneranger, the guy muzt be getting tired. I'll be surprised if he surrendered

It's real. Here's videos part 2 and 3:

It's almost midnight...I'm starting to fall asleep but I feel the need to know what's going on.

Who knows, even if he was a lone wolf he could still have planted those bombs - it would just have taken longer.

Doubt he's tired, the adrenaline is probably making him wide awake and unfortunately probably more irrational too.

I guess, but I don't think there was a great deal of planning that went in to this attack.

Who is directing the videos? At the end of the second one a female voice says "Okay, that's it." to signal the recording ended. Another hostage?

Ddddd; apparently there is speculation that the reason why he wants a flag so badly is becuase he wants to have it so he can start to execute people in front of it like the other Isis videos.

It'll wear out eventually. There's only so much the body could take under such duress for so long. Either way, he'll need sleep at some point.

................wow

It is quite a specific request... I assumed he was a little embarrassed about the flag and that's why he was demanding an IS one.

I understand he was using a 20-year-old woman as a body shield at one point, but the cameras have picked him up standing at windows on more than one occasion. Why not snipe his ass up?

Oh.

Well then good thing they're not giving it to him.

A Joel Herat (YT account) on FB lives in Sydney, but he is much younger than the guy seen today. If you look at his recently added friends, there's a female worker at Lindts on his list.

He is so messy, its nearly 2 here in nz so I gotta get rest for plans tommorrow, but im going to wake up a little early for news on this situation.
