Because they could potentially become victim within a hostage situation. What happens, if the perpetrator comes to your place and kidnaps your ass.

"Not scared"
Yeah cause everyday people get kidnapped from their own homes by jihadist terrorist

Nah, I'm pretty sure I can handle one guy with a shotgun unlike all the other hostages

This needs to go viral:
From an article written in September:
It had also been reported they wanted to drape the body in an Islamic State flag.
It is believed busy Martin Place, in Sydney’s CBD, was the location chosen for an execution that would be filmed and posted on social media.

You think the people in the cafe even fucking knew there was gonna be a maniac entering and taking hostages within the store. Just a perfect fine day, and a moment later, they're held against their will.

people this is serious ://
Yes but it shouldn't scare regular people. It has already happened. the chances of it happening again are very low. 9/11 didn't happen again.

Alright guys, I'm signing off. It's been a long 13 hours, though I'm sure it's felt longer for the hostages. The police have advised us to go about our normal business, so I will be heading off to bed so I can make it in to work tomorrow.
My thoughts go out to the hostages and the family. They will definitely be on my mind as I go to bed. I hope the police are able to resolve this situation quickly and peacefully.

You have to think about all the possible consequences before doing something drastic like that
