Islamophobic shooting in Christchurch, NZ

iAs always, Ironic the descendants of people who murdered the local inhabitants and took their land call peaceful immigrants "invaders".

Also can we maybe not give this walking cancer pile attention by spreading the video around?

[Hammy]

Why is the video even being shared, or rather, why is it allowed to be? Anyone caught sharing it, probably filling the killers with pride that their "work" is being seen by others, should be charged and sentenced as if they were part of the attack. Any media outlet sharing it needs shut down.

Please don't slander New Zealand, and please don't make dumb, nasty posts about this tragedy. New Zealand and the vast, vast majority of people in it are tolerant, compassionate and peace-loving, and I echo Jacinda's message that those responsible are not at all representative of New Zealand.

I personally don't blame New Zealand--I'd blame Australia if anything since it was their spawn that carried this out.

Though this comes off a bit as being less concerned with the people who were killed, or lost loved ones, and more concerned with what it does to the country's image.

Terrible tragedy

What happened to the shooters? I don't have much time to read up on everything that's going on. Are they still at large?

Four were arrested within a few hours of the shooting, I don't know if there were more than that though.

I feel kind of proud I've never been to 4chan and haven't really heard of 8chan until now. 

I was on 4chan way back in like 07-08 when it was mostly cat and anime memes, this is the first I've heard of 8chan at all.

I mean, he did explicitly say he was a communist at one point in his life.

"disillusioned leftist/communist" seems to be a gateway to the far right community--a few people I knew in the past ended up going that same direction, with their twitters becoming filled with antisemitism and regrets of prior leftist views.
