Mosque Shootings in New Zealand

News in today of a group of 4 people who went in to two separate mosque's in New Zealand, armed to the teeth. Killed 40. 1 of them was streaming the whole thing to Facebook. I've seen the video myself, but wont share it. Horrible stuff.

This is what happens when people filled with nothing but hate, get access to guns.

The news was comparing the video footage to that of a video game oddly. Due to the camera angle from the shooter where all you see is the arms holding the rifle.

It seems the guy was quite into the awful side of gamer culture. It's a clear sign that that subculture and its fascist leanings need to be seen as the serious threat that they are, if we don't address them then we'll never be able to prevent repetitions of this atrocity.

Probably didn't help that the killer also says "subscribe to Pewdiepie" in the video. I wish I was kidding.

Wow, that's truly fucked up. What an awful tragedy. :( I've seen all sorts of horrible stuff on the internet, but I don't think I want to see this particular video... Politicians all over the world will have a field day over this, and without a doubt countless new psycho-nutters and racist scumbags will crawl out of their holes now that this asshole has set an example, and the cycle of violence keeps spinning. What a depressing place this world can be sometimes.

Fucker can slowly rot for all I care. I'm glad we don't have the death penalty here.

The irony that it's a nutjob white guy that does the killing. And supposedly Australian (Sorry Icemann). Now I have to worry about copycat idiots. Ugh. It's after midnight and I should be in bed.

No offense taken. And yep he was Australian. Brenton Tarrant. Not sure about the other 3.

Fuck I really didn't want to know his name. And I briefly saw bits of what looked like an edited version of the video from a news site. It's... surreal for a lack of a better word.

This is not about faith. This is about fear, hate and being a self-righteous asshole with more guns than brains.

Hating immigrants? He was an Australian in New Zealand. Lethal irony. That was not a joke. Perverted idea of what an immigrant is.
