Mass shooting in New Zealand

[grizzlyblake]

Yeah I watched it when it was first posted here last night. It's very surreal because of how detached the guy was, talking to the camera and stuff. Like FF said it was like a meme gone wrong. Horrible stuff. I hate to say it but it looked like the guy knew what he was doing.

I'm sure photos will start to surface but all of his guns and mags were totally covered in writing by white paint pen. Allegedly it was "This is for ...." type of stuff.

I'm wondering what the blowback will be from this. Both from lawmakers as well as from Muslims.

This is mass killing for the social media generation, frankly. It was supposed to be like watching a Twitch stream. The crap written all over his gear was on display for the camera, and contained "in jokes" or references to other events. As photos circulate people are going to google and venture down the rabbit hole.

Two things.

1) There's probably a lone wolf jihadi now plotting revenge something.

2) All that writing on his firearms....I'm sure now that going to be the new thing anti gun people will focus on. All those stickers that say "Molon Labe", "come and take it", "from my cold dead hands".

Supposedly his manifesto. Linked to TOS as it's a substantially long read.

I go to NZ a lot. They HAVE guns there. Just have to get a permit... Or at least they did have guns.

I was reading about them some time ago and it looks like they went south on their laws.... no pun intended.

I’m curious to watch it, my assumption is that some of the cartel vids I’ve seen are worse, but I just want to see how this guy acts compared to everyone inside. Something about begging your murderer for help seems tragically incredible to me, I think there is benefit in the occasional reminder that some people are just evil and need to be put down. Shit is never easy to see though.

Not watching the video. Seen enough of them to last a lifetime.

And not reading the manifesto. Not interested in anything that POS had to say at any point in his worthless life. I can only hope they lock him in a room and let hungry rats eat him alive.

Islam is the religion of peace. Who would want to kill them? I think I will cancel my whole day tomorrow to binge watch the coming 24/7 coverage on CNN while my wife watches MSNBC to see how many ways and times they can blame these gun shootings on Donald Trump.

AOC has already called out the NRA. Asking what good are your thoughts and prayers.

On one hand “thoughts and prayers” is kind of a hollow gesture. Even if you mean it, it really isn’t much comfort at the time

On the other, blaming the NRA for gun violence in another country (or even this one) is akin to blaming the NAACP for black criminality.
