Sydney Siege - #IllRideWithYou Users Support Muslims, Others Share Selfies

Posted in: , , ,

Some Twitter users pledged support for Australian Muslims using the #IllRideWithYou hashtag after the Sydney siege, while other social media users shared selfies they took at the scene of the hostage situation involving an armed Islamist which ended a couple of hours ago, after more than half a day.

The now dead gunman, later named as Man Haron Monis held about 30 people hostage in a cafe in Sydney, Australia killing one hostage, before being killed by the Australian security forces. The extremely horrific situation didn't stop some sight seers from mobbing the scene, and some even seized the opportunity to take selfies, while also looking very happy like the guy above...smh.
