This actually happened before, eerily similar. Almost copy-cat. In 2003, a 40 year old pizza man named Brian Wells made a delivery to remote television station, hours later he robbed a bank. once stopped by police he was handcuffed and forced to wait on the road. Police did not allow him to leave or move. They were supposedly waiting for a bomb squad, but may not have believed him. He was told to rob the bank or the bomb on his neck would go off. There are videos of him, calling out to the police "Why is no one coming to help me?" and other states that are just truly heart wrenching considering the police practically (granted perhaps inadvertently)killed this man. Its horrifying someone tried something eerily similar.
Surprisingly, I actually found the video not of Wells pleading with police but of the bomb going off. I cant think of a worse fate, being make to rob a bank, actually succeeding and thinking you may actually live through all this, only to be stopped by police and made to wait, minute by minute for your own death.....geez

I had some family in Mosman that got evacuated today. No biggy for them but i can't imagine what this girl would be going through, I'm glad she is safe. And i thought i would be safe in Australia from terrorism.
FYI, if you don't think this is terrorism, your fucking wrong.

Well no shit, sherlock, of course if it happened to someone we care about we automatically would care... Now granted I don't know how the upper class treats everyone down under, but if someone reported that a bomb collar was tied to... the kardashians, Snooki, Paris Hilton, one of the smallest children of the phelps family I certainly wouldn't care about them.Samurai Silhouette said:
but no there is no problem having empathy.
You care because it was thrown in your face and you felt sorry for her, but you don't care because you have an emotional connection to her personally, just that you have a sense of humanity. Our good fellow over there is the same initially, however where you differ is that he is willing to waver his sense of humanity in the face of social class. It has nothing to do with his lack of empathy or his lack of humanity, it has everything to do with upbringing and the way that he has been affected by the rich.Bobbity said:
You are no better than he is because you still care. You are far more pretentious than he is, especially when you threw in the teenager argument.
Be careful what you say. I can see halfway to your point and if I've got that much then I support it. But you got shit for your jump to the nobody cares argument, which is a losing battle from the start.BanicRhys said:
OT: Poor girl, lucky for her she's safe and sound now.
What I really care about and what I assume is part of BanicRhys' reasoning, is that it's a sick reason to do such a horrible thing. The fact that people are willing to do such horrible things to others in the name of money shows the sad state humanity is in. The other sad thing is that this happened partly because people wear their paychecks as jewelry and make sure others know how much money they have, which is why I think BanicRhys is partly right in saying it was deserved.
Of course it wasn't actually deserved, but when you flaunt steak in front of a starving lion then you deserve to get your hand bitten off.
This isn't the first time this has happened:Sneaky-Pie said:

He claims he was abducted and had a bomb bolted around his neck and ordered to rob a bank. Police surrounded him and the bomb detonated before the bomb squad arrived where he died.
The police claim it was a hoax but why would he strap an ACTUAL LIVE BOMB to himself? Me thinks the police are incompetent and just want an excuse to close the case.
Woah, you went there. You really had to break out the pun, didn't you? You just HAD to do it, didn't you?The Rockerfly said:

OT: I hope the dumb jackass that did it left fingerprints on the device hoping the explosion to erase any evidence.
Give this man many friggin' medals.Necromancer Jim said:

Well, guess Fox News or whatever Christian Lobby pulled out from my arse will accuse games again.
The alleged assailant, who referred to himself only as "Father Elijah", gave a statement to police. Elijah expressed a deep seated hatred for an organization he called "NCR" as the primary motive for the incident.
