#1 I don't think that jihadis use choking agents. If this was a prank, the joker is lucky that nobody was smoking in the club. Some of those agents are flammable. Also if a dancer has asthma or a heart condition, the rap would be murder one. Go back to egging houses.

This person is lucky to have gotten away.

#3 I wouldn't be so sure it wasn't Islamists.
One thing is for sure, Islamists would think people in bars and clubs are all infidels.
It's just a strange story to me, since when do people gas people as a prank??
How do you load enough mace into the ventilation to make sure it sickens the people inside like it did...it would take a large quantity of mace wouldn't it?
I assume the person wasn't just up there squirting his little mace canister into the vent. lol But maybe I'm wrong, I don't know anything about mace.

#4 TS, most large ventilation systems will include a number of sealed fanrooms or intakes. I would expect that the delivery method was a tear gas grenade.
If this is not a prank, then some group will have to calim responsibility and upchuck a manifesto. If it is jihadis, I would think that they are making a big mistake. I would expect that it would not be out of the question for Ausies to begin beating jihadi ass on a regular basis if they take credit for the attack.
