Islamophobic shooting in Christchurch, NZ

[PSOL]

Stay safe my Islamic brethren.

Can we merge the two threads on this?

I don't know if we want the other thread anywhere on this forum, tbh.

Why? Because someone who was rightfully scared spoke his mind at his current state? That doesn’t warrant a removal nor a separation.

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.

Reddit is trying to sweep the racists under the rug by pretending to do action, they banned r/WatchPeopleDie when the mods there swore to not post the video, but leaves the cesspool supporting it all the way. I’m referring to the bot infested r/The_Donald.

Things have gotten so bad that on r/Socialism and r/AgainstHateSubreddits there is a campaign to ban that cesspool.

Basically doing exactly what the terrorist wanted.
Not exactly sending a very strong response.

The terrorism wanted us to kill ourselves over memes and stereotypes. The worldwide rejection of this notion is the only way to snub him.

I think the terrorist probably wanted more guns tbh.

He very specifically stated he chose guns because he wanted to create conflict over gun control.

will be fun to revisit this post when New Zealand near-unanimously passes a set of strict gun control measures some time next week

And I'll still be saying what I'm saying now. Giving into the desires of terrorists is weak. Especially when the issue of guns had nothing to do with this event. The terrorist made it very clear there were other methods he could have used to kill so many people. But it's useful to know that so many people are so simple minded to see it as another "muhhh less guns would fix all of our problems" event instead of what actually caused someone to carry out the act of violence, Jacinda included.

Yes he did have IEDs but those didn't go off, the guns significantly worsened the situation and its irresponsible to increase his ability to kill so many people. People realize assault weapons aren't necessary for hunting, many hunters have been handing them in voluntarily and are happy to give up those weapons as it's better for society not to have them. The key reason the US has so many mass shootings (and other gun deaths) than everyone else isn't that Americans are naturally more violent people, its because of the absurd looseness of US gun laws.

more Americans are killed by fists than all rifles combined

I think the terrorist wanted to tear society apart by turning people against people, brother against brother, and nation against nation. I fail to see how gun control measures meaningfully plays into that, as it had an opposing effect by building a consensus in New Zealand in the first place.
