Daily MailTourists have always taken selfies of themselves at Sydney’s most iconic landmarks, but on a day that has horrified the city many people are taking macabre snapshots for old times’ sake as well. All day people were uploading selfies of themselves on Twitter from as close as possible to where the hostage siege was taking place.  Just to make the photos more authentic some even took them with television cameras in the background. Two onlookers even looked like they were taking a ‘celebration selfie’ than one at a hostage siege. Others smiled happily as if they were standing in front of Sydney Opera House instead of a chilling hostage crisis that could yet end in tragedy.  The hostage siege has been going since 10am on Monday with as many as 30 people believed to be held against their will by a gunman in a central Sydney cafe.  Not that it stopped people taking selfies in the area. However, the thoughtless actions have created a huge backlash on Twitter, with many users berating the people for putting up the tasteless selfies. One person wrote: ‘Awful, do they not have any feelings. People are being held hostage and all they can do is take a selfie.’ ‘I love a selfie, but how is this ok?,’ said another.  ‘Don’t go home and hug your loved ones and be grateful that you’re not caught up in a hostage nightmare… go to the scene and take a selfie,’ one Twitter user wrote. While another sarcastically remarked: ‘Just hangin out at a dangerous hostage crisis, think I’ll stop and take a selfie, with a smile of course.’ It’s unlikely the inappropriate pictures will be taken down from these accounts no matter how the hostage crisis ends.

Yo if you take a selfie right outside a hostage situation, you are a fucking asshole. Not because its poor taste or insensitive or whatever. Because if you are just hanging around on the corner like 30 feet from an Iranian murderer taking hostages, you’re just a goddam idiot. What happens when that dude just whips out a bomb and decides to blow the whole block up? What happens if he just pokes a gun out the door and stars firing out into the crowd? I dunno man. There’s like a BILLION things that can go wrong in this situation. Bottom line is selfies at a hostage stand off is the whitest thing that has ever happened. When danger strikes or tornados touch down, white people run right into the epicenter of that shit. Gotta get those Likes and Retweets! Might get taken hostage if things go south but whatever its all worth it! Buncha fuckin dicks.

PS – The Black Delegation has traded that one black guy who looks like Geordi La Forge to the White people for a wigger to be named later. I didnt even know there were black people in Australia to begin with.
