I'm social media retarded, I'm assuming that's a date stamp to a post or something... I'm assuming this guy is based in Australia somewhere as well and is not in a different time zone...

Ohhh same here haha. That sounds about right though.

No media outlets that I've been refreshing etc have released any information...

TEN news has received a video in which a #lindtcafe hostage relays the gunman's demands. At police request we will not broadcast it.

anyone uncomfortable catching public transport around the Inner West is more than welcome to a lift anywhere

It's been a horrible day. It still is a horrible day. Thanks to whoever started #illridewithyou. We need kind acts like that now.

Australians take to twitter with the #illridewithyou in a campaign to ride with those who may be affected by bigotry by members of the public, and will ride with them on public transport to support them, figuratively and literally.
Twitter has been inundated with pictures, and people posting that they are at a certain bus stop or station and will travel with them to give them support if they may receive any racial abuse as a result.
Those who take transport should still be wary of any of these posts however.
