Botched on so many levels that I can't believe it. Botched from start to finish. Totally botched. The Sirrocues guy from RMIT on the ABC was the only talking head to tell the darn truth. It was botched and badly botched. Two innocent people lost their lives because of the incompetence displayed before our very eyes. BOTCHED ..

Personally I was impressed with how Sydney , individually and as a City handled the events .

Lessons will be learned from yesterday, but it's a sad day when as a society we feel that a sniper bullet is going to be the best response for every hostage situation.
Which is your choice ? A sniper bullet ? ..or innocent people, mothers, fathers killed?
That's my point ( and also Prof Siracusa) ...this is hardly the first hostage crisis for goodness sake ! Many before. Lots of 'lessons' to learn from !! We know the probabilities. The overwhelming 'lesson' that we failed to heed yesterday was prompt, decisive action is best. Proven once again. Which is your choice ? A sniper bullet ? ..or innocent people, mothers, fathers killed? For me, no choice. You sound like you'd like to think about it for a while ... LL

And please don't tell me I'm being insensitive. I live in a family and work in a profession where there is plenty of mental illnesses to keep me occupied, thanks. I got over all the emotion a long time ago.
Jesus H Christ the keyboard warriors are out already! Too many movies and no idea. Did you see how quickly the EOD was in the building afterwards.......that will give you an idea of the nature of the perceived threat.
