Sydney Siege Selfies: Social Media Users Slammed As ‘Disgusting & Disrespectful’
By +Sara Nelson
As an ongoing hostage situation continues in Sydney, a number of people have been spotted taking beaming “selfies” at the scene.
Crowds are gathering at the Lindt café on Martin Place, downtown Sydney, where there is believed to be a gunman who has forced hostages to hold a black flag with Arabic writing in the window of the cafe.
As armed police assess the situation and relatives of those taken hostage pray for their safe release, some bystanders are choosing to mark the drama by taking photographs of themselves at the scene.
