Good riddance - Islamist terrorist shot dead

I hope someone had the presence of mind to stuff a ham sammich into his mouth as he lay bleeding out.

Some consequences are coming - people have had enough. First, from the London Daily Mail:

Faces of the victims: Heroic Sydney cafe manager, 34, shot dead as he grabbed terrorist's gun to protect hostages - and the brilliant young barrister and mother of three, 38, who died in hospital after the siege
The two hostages who died during the bloody climax of a sixteen-hour siege at a Sydney cafe were today named as manager Tori Johnson and mother-of-three Katrina Dawson.

Mr Johnson, 34, was shot dead after he tried to wrestle the gun from Islamic extremist Man Haron Monis inside the Lindt cafe in Martin Place just after 2am on Tuesday morning.

Ms Dawson, a 38-year-old whose children are all under 10, died in hospital. She was a barrister at Eight Selborne Chambers in Sydney's Phillip Street, opposite the site of the siege.

As Australia mourned the dead, thousands of people gathered at Martin Place to lay flowers, some in floods of tears. Among those paying tribute were NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione, Premier Mike Baird and the Governor General Peter Cosgrove. Tony Abbott is expected to attend this afternoon.

Some more - the perp was a real pillar of the community: 

He first came to the attention of authorities when he started sending hate mail to the families of Australian dead soldiers between 2007 and 2009, according to The Daily Telegraph.

And

The hostage-taker was charged as an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife - who was allegedly stabbed and set on fire on a flight of stairs in her western Sydney apartment block in November 2013. The man's current partner was charged with murder but they both received bail as the case was deemed too weak.

He was arrested in April this year for the sexual assault of a 27-year-old woman in 2002 after luring her to his clinic following claims he was as an expert in astrology, meditation and black magic, The Daily Telegraph reported.

Monis was slapped with an additional 40 charges in October after more victims came forward alleging incidents took place in his spiritual healing clinic in Station Street in Wentworthville, western Sydney.

Like I said, a really nice guy.

Backlash in 3... 2... 1... from the UK Guardian:

Estimated 15,000 people join ‘pinstriped Nazis’ on march in Dresden
Its members have been dubbed the “pinstriped Nazis” and they refer to their demonstrations as “evening strolls” through German cities. But on Monday night, an estimated 15,000 people joined Pegida, or Patriotic Europeans Against Islamisation of the West, in a march through Dresden carrying banners bearing slogans such as “Zero tolerance towards criminal asylum seekers”, “Protect our homeland” and “Stop the Islamisation”.

Next couple of years are going to be really interesting what with Obama stirring up the race pot and the islamists being the clueless 9th century thugs they are. Keep your powder dry...
