Islamophobic shooting in Christchurch, NZ

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I made the profound mistake of watching the terrorist's video. The most disturbing thing of the many disturbing things about it was that it's remarkable how similar it looks to those stupid video games these people play. I don't expect to have good dreams tonight.

I saw it on accident and now am legit having a big mental breakdown over it. I can't ever unsee those images or unhear the gunshots and screaming. It made me think about my family, I won't even go to Friday prayers tomorrow because of this.

You can’t let the monsters clout your mind with fear my brother. You must find the strength, either from yourself or through the assistance of your god if you must, to be brave tomorrow and pray with your family in public. Pray for thankfulness of your families health and prosperity, and for god to grant the quick recovery of those harmed in this instance and elsewhere by the evil in this world. If you must, pray for the forgiveness in you to these monsters soon to be judged by your lord himself. Rest soon and well, but for the good of us all go show how brave you are to the world tomorrow.

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.

And nobody should be surprised Tender is making the posts he's making, after all he shares his birth country with Hitler...

Don’t confuse all Austrians with the growing mass of evil sweeping Austria. That same evil is all around us, yet is being fought and rejected by the Austrians who reject the rise in Fascism.

The Nazis filmed their own atrocities. You just don't hear the jibes and comments they made on their films.

Life without parole for this guy. Don't make him a martyr.

New Zealand doesn't have the death penalty.

RIP, and my condolences to all the families involved

30 deaths (I think?) is a big tragedy and a big terrorist attack.

Also, I wonder if 8chan (if it was really involved and supporting the attack) will be closed.

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.

This is a horrifying tragedy.

Be mindful of what you're posting here.

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.

I'll merge these threads later. A gentle reminder not to share 8chan links or links to the video.

The 'funny' thing is, posting a mass murder on the internet is exactly what ISIS used to do.

The 28-year-old alleged Christchurch gunman identified as former Grafton local. NSW Australia.



Brenton Tarrant attended Grafton High School before getting his qualifications in fitness.

He used an AR-15 and similar weapons to the Las Vegas shooting.

No military training.

Death toll is already 49 and rising. Heartbreaking.

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?

New Zealand was mostly uninhabited when the British settlers arrived.

Ultimately, the place they were born is not the main contributor. What happened in New Zealand is the culmination of the alt-right ideology fermented on sites such as 8-chan where he literally posted he was gonna shoot folks and they cheered him on.

Indeed, but I'm sure someone might be very tempted to kill him in prison.

In an awful way, I think we've seen hard evidence that restrictive gun laws have an effect. I can't think of any other reason why Australians would travel to a country with laxer gun laws to do something they otherwise had ample targets to do at home.

It is virtually impossible for Australians to get these guns used today.

Never seen one.

If you are caught with them illegally, you will face jail time.

There has been a slow build up of anti-immigrant anti-muslim sentiment worldwide since the Syrian civil war, so targetting NZ or Australia or Tender is completely pointless.

This man is solely responsible.

After Port Arthur in 1996, fully and semi-automatic military grade rifles were banned in Australia and we have not had a mass shooting since.

Ever heard of the Maori people?

I'm quite certain that there were no sheep in New Zealand before Europeans arrived. By New Zealand standards that means it was uninhabited.

[DavidB.]

Absolutely sickening.

[Virginiá]

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?
