A SYDNEY man who came face-to-face with the hostage gunman says he threatened to "shoot him too". Craig Stoker was walking down Phillip Street after buying a coffee in the Lindt Cafe when he bumped into the gunman. "He was wearing a black T-shirt with white writing on it and a headband and carrying a blue bag.
"The bag bumped into me and there was something hard in it. I said 'watch where you are f***ing going'.
| Yes, the dangers of f-bombing someone on the street... |
"He turned round and said 'do you want me to shoot you too?.' I looked into his eyes and they were crazy," said Mr Stoker, a father of four from Eastlakes. "I was pretty freaked out."
The bearded man was with two others who were similarly dressed.
This last fact hasn't stopped the media going on about a 'lone wolf' attack. The meme is the message with the media. |
