It's possible. I think it was only one, the one that livestreamed it
Oh bullshit. Pure terrorist attack.
Yup. What's infuriating is people hopping out of the woodwork to defend him. Honestly the intentional trolling is the problem and as long as you've got these celebrity figures saying that anything is on the table for the lulz, this will be a problem. We're in this fucked up place where a large amount of us are chosing evil, and another large amount is chosing the same evil but telling themselves its just joking bro, not realizing their signal boosting makes them as evil.
Yes that's true they may let some of them go, but if there are two Mosques targeted it would follow at least two of them would be involved.
The guy must be socially inept, right? To be so desperate to make his joke that he ignores how inappropriate it might be (and pretends as if he doesn't know NZ is several hours ahead).
Improvised explosive device, basically a home made bomb stuck to a car
Usually I'm against the death penalty, but this time we're pretty sure of who did this (at least if they caught them shooting), and I think they should be tried as war criminals, not just simple ones.
Unfortunately no we don't have the death penalty, and we typically have a very relaxed justice system. This will be a huge test of our laws and sentencing for terrorism/mass murder so who knows how long they'll spend in prison.
There was way too much damage done for it to only be one person.
Improvised Explosive Device
Homemade bombs, basically. You usually hear the term when people talk about attacks against military units in the Middle East.
yeah if he gave a shit the next video he posts would be something aimed at deradicalizing any of his viewers. hell, if i ran a popular channel and was invoked in a video like this i'd dedicated that channel entirely to combating this shit.
Can we now put white nationalism as the number 1 terroristic threat. That video made me sick to my stomach and I can not fathom going to a place to pray and then have some lunatic come in like that to cause harm. Hate speech should be considered more dangerous than buying drugs and lead to long prison sentence.
You just know they won't be calling them that.
Four mentally disturbed lone wolves who just happen to work together to cause violence and t̶e̶r̶r̶o̶r̶ unrest.
I disagree. Forcing them to rot in jail is a much more drawn out and appropriate fate in my opinion.
Yes it is a 4chan clone, that manages to be overall worse in content (whether it's "worse" than 4chan considering the influence of /pol/, I couldn't say).
They have been the major hub for gamergators, and a lot of child porn shows up there.
Twitter is doing seemingly nothing to prevent this footage from spreading. Just from clicking the Christchurch trend 3 uploads of it popped up and clicking the videos tab 3 of the first 4 videos are raw footage with just one being a news report. Fucking shameful.
I said that I want to get rid of all of the hate groups and evil that rots and poisons our world and society. What's wrong with that?
This is utterly horrific and it sucks that that the pieces of detritus responsible will never be branded terrorists.
I think some people accidentally saw it because it's being tweeted out for some reason
It's basically where all of 4chans undesirables fled to....not even 4chan wants these people.
I'm barely learning about this, I can't believe the subscribe to pewdiepie meme is getting related to this. It's like something out of an Onion article.
