Heartbreaking. The
murder victims of the devout Muslim waging jihad in a Lindt Chocolate Shop were
hostages identified as Sydney lawyer and Lindt cafe manager.
So little is said of
the real victims of these Islamic holy wars. The enemedia hand-wrings
over islamophobia; Western elites like President Obama, PM Cameron et al insist
the Islamic State “is not islamic.”
But this is who we should be mourning. This is who we should be defending and avenging. The bodies pile up as the West recedes and recoils from the truth.

“She was a devoted mother-of-three children and a valued member of
her floor and of our bar community.
“Our thoughts are with her family at this time including her brother
Sandy Dawson of Banco Chambers.”
Mr Johnson was trying to wrestle the weapon away from the Muslim
terrorist when he was killed.

Lawyer Katrina Dawson (left) and Lindt cafe manager Tori Johnson
died after being held by a gunman for more than 16 hours.
The two
hostages killed after a 16-hour siege in Sydney have been identified as the
manager of the Lindt cafe and a lawyer.
It is not
clear whether they were shot by the gunman or killed in the crossfire, when
heavily-armed officers stormed the building in Martin Place in the early hours.
Self-styled
Iranian cleric Man Haron Monis was shot dead by police after taking 17 people
hostage at the Lindt Chocolate Cafe.
Victim
Katrina Dawson, 38, worked as a barrister at Selbourne Chambers in the CBD and
had three young children.
Ms Dawson
was married to Paul Smith, a partner at Mallesons, whom she met while
completing her clerkship at the firm.
She studied law at Sydney University, where she lived at the
women’s college as a student.
She topped the state in her high school certificate in 1994 with a
TER of 100 and also topped her bar exams.
The NSW
Bar Association said Ms Dawson had been held hostage with two other barristers.
“Katrina was one of our best and brightest barristers who will be greatly missed by her colleagues
and friends at the NSW Bar,” the association said in a statement.
“She was a devoted mother-of-three children and a valued member of
her floor and of our bar community.
“Our
thoughts are with her family at this time including her brother Sandy Dawson of
Banco Chambers.”
Cafe manager was ‘well-liked by staff’

Tori Johnson, 34, had been employed at the Lindt cafe since October 2012 and had worked at a string
of other restaurants and hospitality companies around Sydney.
Sources
have told the ABC Mr
Johnson was trying to wrestle the weapon away from the gunman when he was
killed, but
authorities have not confirmed whether this was the case.
Former
colleague Tony Manno, who worked with Mr Johnson at Sydney’s Adria Rybar &
Grill for a number of years, said he was shattered to hear the news this
morning.
“Tori was
a great guy, a good guy to be around,” he said.
“He got
on really well with all the staff.”
Lindt and
Sprüngli, which owns the cafe, released a statement on Facebook thanking NSW
Police and offering support to the siege victims and their families.
“Our
thoughts and feelings are with the victims and their families who have been
through an incredible ordeal, and we want to pay tribute to their courage and
bravery,” the statement said.
The
Sunshine Coast father of a Lindt employee caught up in the siege said he was
relieved his daughter made it out alive but was horrified at the loss of
others.
Harriette
Denny, 30, ran from the cafe with five other hostages, just before police
launched their assault.
Robert
Denny said his family spent an anxious night watching the events unfold on
television but had now spoken with his daughter.
“I spoke
with her twice today, maybe three times I can’t remember and she’s okay,” he
said.
“She’s
tired, she’s relieved and she’s distressed that her friend the duty manager
didn’t make it through.”
