Being Australian, I remember this well. I was glued to the news channels, and couldn't believe how SLOW the order was to go in and end it. The team was ready, willing and able.. yet 'red tape' stopped them from acting sooner. What a disgrace.

More likely the fact that initially they thought he had a bomb. You can't storm a building full of people if some nutjob is sitting on a bomb. Probably took them a while to realise that the chance he had a device was bs. As long as a hostage taker is not killing people, it's better to take the time gathering all the intel needed. Saying that though, the police were almost as incompetent as the hostage taker himself.

I remember being around twelve at the time the Lindt Cafe Siege happened. Mostly because the day after my family had planned to visit the zoo. Which would require us to travel to two hours to Sydney. We still went, though I remember my younger brother and I were extremely anxious while travelling on the train to Sydney and especially on the light rail past Martin Place. So this episode will be an interesting one for me.

He was one prawn short of a barbie party... And so were the people in charge of the tactical unit. So many opportunities to de-escalate, then a few to escalate and end it, and only in the end did they move in with more casualties as a result. Embarrassing really.
Man was a clear opportunist. He wanted to do nasty things and looked for ways to explain it in any way other than him not being right in the head.
I remember this like yesterday. Watching the tv horrified that this was happening in my home town. Screaming at the tv for the police to hurry the fuck up. If it wasnt for the bravery of the hostages there would have been more deaths.
I remember when this happened. I was on the bus headed towards the city to buy some MTG cards when I got a call from my mum saying “I hope you’re not in the city”. Meanwhile, I’m 500 meters away from the cafe. My sisters office was literally across the street and they were locked down.

This case highlights the appalling leniency of Australia’s judicial system. It also makes a mockery of our “intelligence” organisations. As an Aussie I find the decisions made with regard to Man’s early crimes contributed 100% to the escalation of his violence. I always wonder why nobody thought to throw a couple pots of boiling water (the only effective “weapon” to hand) on Man early on, bomb or no bomb. I cannot imagine their collective fear though and how quickly it unfolded. 😢
This event was a cluster**** from the time the police and other highly educated and highly paid learned authorities got involved, even by the brave souls going in at the end where they stupidly flash bombed inside the entry. RIP Tory and Katrina - you were sadly let down by incompetence and incompetents. Thank you for covering this TIM - a truly sad event I sat and watched as it unfolded - still makes me teary.

First time I've heard this story in its entirety and I am flabbergasted at the incompetence displayed by the "good guys." They were given ample opportunity, a ridiculous amount of time and information to end this situation in a timely and most likely nonviolent matter! What the hell?! This story should be used as a teaching device for hostage negotiations.... "Absolutely EVERYTHING You Should NEVER do in a Hostage Situation!" My God the hostages were successfully saving themselves!?!?
Sounds like Interpol should be renamed Ineptpol.

NEVER in my life have I heard of such passive bullshittery when there are hostages involved and 2 entries. They knew there were no bombs. I'm in complete shock. No, you cannot go in guns-a-blazing but this is pure insanity. My heart goes out to the families who lost beautiful young souls. And, of course, I pray for the healing in every way for the Survivors.

Im not totally disagreeing with your conclusion, but I do believe it was religious reasons that gave him the courage to go through with it. He definitely came across as someone who had gone down the Islamist path, had been believing the promises made. Im not sure its correct saying he got the flag wrong, the "shahada flag" is used by many fundamentalist groups as a call to jihad. The shahada is a decleration of faith. When you convert to islam, you recite the shahada. I dont think its common for the fundamentalists to fly an ISIS flag when committing an act, I believe they would carry the flag of Jihad, aka the "shahada" flag. If he did really get surprised or whatever, and say he wanted an ISIS flag added to his list of demands, it might just be that he realied that average people didnt recognise it as something scary. I dont know, Im only guessing. But I do believe he did this for religion, he did totally come across as someone who had fallen down the islamist hole.

I remember being glued to the TV and how horrible it was to have learnt of the deaths when the authorities could have acted sooner to save the hostages
I remember this when it happened. Like many Australians, I was watching it happen and all the questions were being asked. WHY THE HELL are they not going in? It was frustrating and terrifying watching on a screen, I cannot imagine how it felt for those poor people.

Great job again brother. Just a few minor points you didn't cover. - (a photo you showed of him with a 1% vest on) was when he was trying to con his way into a well known motorcycle gang claiming he was a hitman. - his last girlfriend converted him from Shia to Sunni.
I remember this there was a sniper that had him on site and they wouldnt give the go ahead for him to shoot it was heatbreaking for him could have saved the lives
36:52 I feel like these points aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s feasible that Man was both using the I.S. name for attention *and* supported their beliefs. Maybe theologic motivation was secondary, but to solely focus on Man’s evident mental illness without placing some weight on the radicalized version of Islam propagated by the I.S. feels non-genuine.

Australians are not used to people with guns so maybe that had something ti do with it, I don’t know. There was a huge floral tribute afterwards. Martin Place is one of the places in the main CBD of Sydney where there is just walking traffic.
Talk about a public menace! Mass incompetence by the police!
Hi from Florida. Never heard of this wow. RIP to any victims.

This is a story of one Monster, a major f up of a response, innocent bystanders that most had to save themselves and the innocents that died!
Hey Jiles ~~ I love all 3 of your channels. Hope Life in the Netherlands is treating you & family good
OH HELL YEAH. Very excited to see this on your channel.
Australia needs to train their police force better.
Monis seems like the kind of guy who would be a cult leader. Small mercy he’ll never get the chance.

I feel like he wanted to be, but never got the following. Thanks for watching!
It's ironic as he was born with a chocolate dud above his lip!
🖤 your channel is showing & growing.
Hey ❤ love to see a new upload! It’s always a highlight of my week! Wonder what your next topic will be?! ❤ btw it’s been really nice to see somewhere up and running again too! I’ve always loved those stories it’s like the bits of history that have been hidden and/whitewashed and you are telling the stories that need to be told!
hi love your work and having been in the city on the day this happened it was interesting to know more details than i previously knew. I did giggle at the Martin street (Martin place) and Circule Q (Circular Key) Also i love that you add details at the end of your videos for help for people struggling with violent situations and mental health issues. Thanks for your work.
I cant help but think of that moment he told the manager to sit down, and said "im taking the place hostage" If only he would of jumped on him while screaming for help, might of had a different outcome.
Let's go!!!!❤❤❤❤
You know it's gonna be a wild one when the guy is burning people alive and it's only a third of the way through the video
This event is as ingrained in me as 9/11, I can vividly remember watching it all go down, utterly devastating.
Oh this one just breaks my heart. The survivors are so brave. I saw this on a 60 minutes Australia.
This is why I started to research true crime,never expected to turn on the news to see a siege happening in my country
Thank you
Good morning!!! You rock !
Damn, this guy was an absolute joke. Totally incompetent hostage taker, and was treated as such but the 'hostages' who kept on walking out, and also by everyone he contacted to get his message out, or turn the lights off, or get the right flag.... Unfortunately, the police were almost equally incompetent. This could have been neutralised far sooner with less loss of life. I reckon Islamic State were embarrassed by this joker claiming to be one of them.
Love your show. And your shirt! I used to live in the Beartooths in Mt.
It’s embarrassing how badly the authorities handled this
Bon Matin, my TIM fam!
