Who said this about suicide vests?
Been following this source and hadn't heard that:

Would definitely make it worse
I don`t think anybody has said it is ok, violence breeds violence, where does it stop?
You shoot the first, the second is more radical, more violence and thus it goes on. Violence and murder did not sort Northern Ireland out, sense and reason did. Violence is not solving the Middle East out.
It is now official, we are not quite so sh@t at cricket as we were! Rugby Union is a different matter.

If someone drops him and he is wired so a device explodes and kills or maims hostages the Coppers would never be forgiven.
Personally a bullet is too quick given the torment inflicted on the hostages but if the dude goes down that way I'd happily buy the shooter a beer.
I reckon there are coppers there who share exactly the same opinions we all do but they are the ones we have given the job so we need to respect that, no matter how it turns out.
Bit of a "young Bull, old Bull" situation I think.
Assuming it is as it seems and is a Terror scenario what really burns me is this.
Their "side" makes their jihadists heroes if they hack a prisoners head off with a blunt knife.
Our "side" throws dudes in the slammer if they put a Dog Collar around a prisoners neck.
I hope it isn't a War because if it is we are awful close to losing.
I'll tell you something else as well.
The non-radical Muslims have got absolutely no chance of stopping the Jihadists either.
It's religous, it's psychological, there are no uniforms, there are no borders, there are no families, there are no rules except the ones we impose on ourselves and that only helps the opposition anyway.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Remember we are Aussies. A war of terror can't work here, it will have the opposite effect of bringing us together and in this instance is already doing just that.
While the world thinks of Aussies as laid back, we are simply slow to anger. Harm one of our own and you are in for a world of pain.
Nobody is going soft, we want the innocent victims to get out alive. Beyond that nobody gives a rats arse about his motivations or wants.
I work a couple of blocks from martin place, and I will be going to work tomorrow no matter what, and I know all my colleagues will do the same as we will not let terror take hold.
Nobody here is being overly soft.
The boys in Blue are handling this just right. Even if this does all go pear shaped, they should be held up and praised for how this has been handled.
I also see a little change in the wind here with that twitter campaign "I'll ride with you..." Get on-board lads - there is no other way that this sort of shit will ever be beaten.
I support the main-stream Muslim community who condemn this criminal behavior and I will ride with any Muslim who stands up against this as well. We all have a right to live without this shit and with our own beliefs.
I hope it all ends without injury to anyone, and with this bloke dealt with according to our Australian community expectations and laws. Let's make our judgements when we have a clear understanding of the facts. We are Aussie's with a broad tolerance and a sense of a fair go. We are not Yank media talking heads.
Period.
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.

Im pretty sure im not alone thinking that this is not going to end we'll, I think if he doesn't off himself as well as them poor hostages he's going suicide by cop, but everyone is right in saying he needs a bullet in the head, but look at these I S pricks they haven't even got the guts to show there faces, weak arsed parasites. But our thoughts and prayers are the safety of the poor hostages, I wonder if they would take Tony Abbott in exchange for their safety. If only.
