40 killed and 20 injured in Mosque shootings in New Zealand
Crazy. This is probably the biggest tragedy that has happened in NZ.

The people of New Zealand have been working hard to support each other after these terrible tragedies.
I probably won't be attending my local Mosque prayers next Friday, which I was looking forward to. Most of my fellow kiwis want the scum behind these attacks to be put to death, but that won't happen in most likeliness, unfortunately.

Annnnd the media on Twitter is quick to place the blame on Pewdiepie because the shooter said "subscribe to Pewds" in his video before the shooting started.

The death toll is now at 49.
How did the killers get assault rifles and manage to bring them illegally into an island nation like NZ? Really strange. |

It's almost like criminals won't follow the law...
I saw the footage. Yikes!

Yes, it's all over twitter. I watched like 10 seconds of it and it was enough. One of my country's channels has aired the footage of the attack on tv several times since 10AM, which led to A LOT of people calling in to the HQs of the network complaining about it. I mean, who the hell wants to see THAT while having breakfast or lunch? A bit too early to air such graphic content on TV, no? That being said, that channel is notorious for sensationalism and lack of morals just to achieve ratings and shock value. |

Holy f*ck, he started the livestream with a "subscribe to pewdiepie" and blasted memes through his car. It's like a weird fever dream. But- oh well, aren't terror attacks just "part and parcel" of living in a big city?

Yeah, I saw parts of it and they literally read like an average 4chan sh*tpost.
One thing I'll never understand with shooters is how retarded they are in application of their motivation. This guy wanted stop European immigration, so he kills innocent people instead of politicians? Maybe I just want to see a real shakeup, but needless acts of violence towards innocents do nothing for any cause. It's weird, I don't even feel one way or another about this incident after watching the video. It's so brutal and visceral to see it in reality it kind of numbs you. I closed it, said to myself "what an asshole" and just kind of accepted it. Last edited by snake; 03-15-2019 at 11:46 AM. |

It's a reference to the "Remove Kebab" meme.

Assuming he probably generalizes Muslims as terrorists, it never ceases to amaze me that it is lost on these wackjobs like him that THEY are in fact the terrorists.
Hell, if all Muslims are big bad scary people and want to destroy us all, then surely your ass should have been toast and shouldn't have even made it out of the first to go attack another place, right? So... so sick that he streamed it live. |

Tragic. I can only hope that those that lost their lives lived to their fullest and left a positive impact on those they met. Immeasurable tragedy.

Just ... Simply tragic.
My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. May their community heal from this. |

Pretty sure I saw people on Twitter saying New Zealand has some of the strictest gun laws in the world, as well.

And completely separate and probably prickish of me to ask... but sheesh, I mean, this has got to make you rethink your religion, right? You're at a mosque praying, practicing all due diligence in your religion... and some guy just walks in and blows everyone away -- either that higher power has it out for you, or he's asleep at the wheel or doesn't exist... none of these things being good. I could pose the same thing for the church shooting here in the states a while back.
Right?

No, it doesn't make me rethink it.
