New Zealand Massacre

Oh wow, this is horrifying. Some crazy guy went out with three semi-automatic guns, killed 50 people, left 20 injured and livestreamed it all to Facebook like it was some sort of joke.

How abhorrent and disgusting.

Watched the video. Whilst I understand why some want the videos to be removed, I think it's important to show how disgusting and vile acts like this are.

The world just keeps getting worse 🙁

Crazy world, He was born in Australia but seems to be living in New Zealand for some time. Sick people. But it can happen anywhere at any point in this world.

The short version is that this psycho planned this attack out and intends to make a culture war worse. He wants the left and right to fight. He wants the media to take this story and run with it. He wants them to associate himself with pewdiepie and thus label pewdiepie and his followers as psychos too. He purposefully picked guns as the weapon of choice to get people stirred up. To get those on one side to say "ban them all" and those on the other to reject that and push back.

I ask people please don't give into that. This guy is a psycho looking to cause violence and wreck society. He wants people to fight.

I'm not watching a serial killer's creepy video or reading his manifesto.

I saw the chopper around the skies again this morning. It gets spooky when it's night time and not many cars are out and you just hear the constant buzzing from the chopper.

Well, I've mentioned this in other threads - there's a lot of Facebook Crazies - as in identity politics, out there.

Idiot will be in court today. 50 murder charges, 39 attempted. Possibly more to follow.

It's only one step from free speech and joking memes to murder. I'm telling ya - these people are insane!

Facebook only now sees it as an issue. Posts were being posted fifteen days before the terrorist attack by the idiot and a couple of other people. I'm pretty sure there's also stuff the police and government aren't telling people here too.

I see stuff about a hair's breath from murder all the time. But the problem is that whoever speaking - has a right - unless it's a direct threat. I can't say I disagree cause it's free speech.
