The Sydney hostage situation ended in bloodshed, of course "Could it have ended any other way? No."
"When the guns stopped firing, a man and woman lay dead, four more were rushed away with injuries, and Australian authorities were left with the task of scraping up what was left of Monis. "
..."As the scene calmed down, a bomb disposal robot was seen entering the café."
"The dramatic end to the siege came as the gunman holding the remaining captives was revealed as a self-proclaimed Islamic cleric Man Haron Monis. "

MSNBC: Sydney Terrorist A “Phony” Muslim, “May Just Be A Violent Criminal”…
"It’s rather amusing to watch the left trip and fall over themselves in a mad dash to defend Islam after a terror attack."
The Sydney Siege and the Lone-Wolf Copout "The phenomenon of “lone-wolf” terrorism is vexing to policymakers because it is so hard to predict and prevent. But it also has too often provided an excuse–a way for the political class or security forces to avoid any blame for a successful domestic attack. Even worse, anti-anti-terrorism commentators use lone-wolf attacks to cast doubt on the whole war on terror enterprise as doing more harm than good, or at least not doing much good. Something similar seems to be taking shape in the wake of the Sydney, Australia siege this week."

ARI MELBER, MSNBC: Let me ask Jim about the point Mikey is raising. I think people at home can relate to which is, well, maybe the profile here is an overlap between someone who’s deranged but also sympathizes with enemies of Australia and the United States. Now that the actual live conflict is over, how do you disentangle that? Doesn’t it matter a great deal whether this was a person who was just basically a low-level criminal, Abby called him a thug. He may just be a violent criminal. Isn’t that very different as a criminal who latched onto something than a person who’s actually an operational ally of our enemies?"Motives become mixed"?
