My heart and mind go out to the deceased and relatives of them(not the perp though). In time we will find out what happened in that Lindt Store. Apparently the perp had a shotgun. How many shells does a shotgun hold? 2?

Did he also have explosives with a detonator? How did he manage to hold that number of hostages for almost 16 hours? How can one 50 year old hold them hostage so effectively? In time we will find out.

I would like to think that if I was there in that situation that some azzhat would not hold me for 16 hours. I am sure many other Pelicans would do the same. His attention span would dwindle as he got more tired.

There are some of you out there that could be faced with a similar situation in your lifetime but hopefully not. The heroes on United flt.97(number?) proved that there was no lack of courage there. Being on the ground you have more choices. Think on my friends, stay fit and have courage. Those in the Armed Forces or vets have a definite advantage.

Cheers, Guy
