There's been movement at the cafe, the gunman moving a hostage past the window, two more hostages change positions. Not much sleep in there

Very little movement at the Lindt Cafe. One person, we believe to be the gunman, walking toward back office. He is carrying an iPad

I'm praying.. I don't want to get into the politics of it all, because truthfully I don't know enough to comment. But I would just like to say, I am extremely proud of my country, and the police force of Sydney, and generally the community of us Australians, but the police force especially with how they're handling the situation, rationally, and taking as long as they need, to make sure the people come out alive, and unharmed. They've been so calm, risking their lives as well throughout this ordeal. I am proud to call myself Australian, and the people inside, stay strong, we're all praying. Australia is a beautiful country, a country that welcomes all, you just have to open your eyes and realize how much we have, and how much we have to be thankful for, even if it doesn't seem equal, it's one of the greatest places to live in the world.

I don't know how true this but that would explain why the videos are being taken down.

The girls saying what the gunman wants (to talk with the prime minister and have him deliver a flag to the cafe). If they did this then he would let them go.

They identified the gunman, his name is Man Maron Monis.
Quote:
Last year he was charged with being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife and mother of two.
And most recently, he was charged with more than 50 allegations of indecent and sexual assault relating to time allegedly spent as a self-proclaimed "spiritual healer" who dealt with black magic at a premises in western Sydney more than a decade ago.

Hostages talking to the camera saying they need a flag, and that MMM wants a video chat with Tony Abbott. Also that there's bombs in the cafe and surrounding streets.

When it wears off won't he be tired as ****? It's only a matter of time.
This whole situation reminds me of those videos of beheading being posted all around the internet just about a decade ago. I really do not want to re-live that mess.

The guy who organized that his ex wife to be killed (and succeeded), and sexually assaulted like 10 women 
And he's promoting peace? Some people. He's not right in the head, clearly.

Why didn't he bring in the flag with him in the first place if he wants it so bad? There's only one terrorist, right? hopefully he gets too sleepy to function properly.

They should have completely evacuated the area surrounding the cafe right now because of the bomb threats.
How the hell did the 5 people escape? 
Of course it's a radical Islamist again. Religion. 
And if no one gets any sleep, then I guess MMM won't get any either.

He doesn't want the flag, I think he wants others to hold the flag to show their support for jihad or something.
