At least 49 people were killed and another 48 injured Friday in a mass shooting at two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch. A 28-year-old man is in custody. He has been charged with murder and will appear in court Saturday morning. Two other people remain in custody as police try to determine their connection to, or possible involvement in, the attack. The shooter targeted two mosques in Christchurch: the Al Noor Mosque, where 41 people were killed, and another at the Linwood Mosque, where seven people died. One person died in the hospital, according to police. Friday is the Muslim holy day, when many practicing Muslims attend worship services at mosques.

Hey, look, a mass shooting that didn't happen in America.

The suspected gunman who killed dozens of worshippers inside two New Zealand mosques is an Australian man who reportedly posted a 74-page manifesto that called Donald Drumpf as a “symbol of white supremacy” before the shooting. According to Yahoo News, the alleged killer who live-streamed the attack identified himself as Brenton Tarrant. He claimed that he was motivated by “far-right extremism he saw in the United States to carry out the attack at Al Noor Mosque.”

Oh, FFS. :disgust:

All over the news here last night because one of the shooters was an Australian :smirk: Comment on the news was he was there to train for the massacre and carry it out elsewhere but decided at sometime, this is a soft target.

What do you think of the outcomes?

NZ banning semi-automatic weapons.
What's your stance?

AUS's new bill towards social media platforms a.k.a content-distributors regarding "The Sharing of Abhorrent Violent Material"?

An event that even made Q3W to shut up... WOW.


Fuck this guy. Fuck his ideology. Fuck the identitarian movement with which he sympathized.
Little insight into the european wing of those dickheads:



Fuck populists. Fuck Facebook. Fuck state-controlled-media in autocratic sates. Fuck private agenda-driven media. Fuck a system that gives you the tunnel-view.
Fuck the internet as it is, after all. We all wanted it to bring us closer. And while on the one hand it did, it also helped to radicalize and divert us by the groups who used it for those intentions.

Open up your own mind. Think for yourself.
What is going on in your own little neighborhood or your european state?
Have immigrants overrun your country? Will islam one day rule your country?
Will "the great exchange" happen?
Those are the arguments of the Christchurch shooter to defend his murders.
