Major terrorist (white supremacist) attack in Christchurch (NZ) [UP6: 4 suspects in custody, 50 confirmed dead] (READ THREADMARKS)

ISOM · Mar 15, 2019

This is only going to happen more in the future as landline tv becomes more and more extinct and people consume even more of their daily entertainment from the internet. Without social media site owners taking a hard stance against alt-right propaganda and influence this will only grow.

It is absolutely not a statement from the government.

It has the Australian coat of arms on it, and let's not lie ourself m8 a big part of the Australian government is racist AF.

"We New Zealanders were not chosen for this act of violence because we condone this racism, or because we are an enclave of extremism, we were chosen for the very fact that we are none of these things,"

I mean if it's direct advocation then yeah I agree shut at least a section of 4chan down until it can be restructured. However people should be allowed to have hateful views and express them as long as they are not directly advocating violence, and that applies to the internet aswell.

rethink this

Why the fuck are some of you even watching/looking for the video?
Morbis curiosity? Why do you want to see death of innocent people?

I think it's important to know what kind of world we live in... I will not shelter myself from real life.

I need a link that shows this being organized and cheered on by 8chan. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO. But I need to let some people know that 8chan is doing this. They dont believe me. And they need their eyes opened.

I believe the original thread got deleted, but let me see if I can find an archive of it or something. But I probably won't.
I don't know why anyone would try to argue with you that 8chan has nothing to do with it though. As for 8chan cheering on it, just go to about any thread on any board on the site that is about the shooting...

Waddle Dee · Mar 15, 2019

This is the worst possible news to end a day on. Goddamn.

When are sites like 4chan and 8chan going to be shutdown? When are people on those sites going to be on watchlists?

Saw footage that was playing on the news (obviously didn't show anything too graphic).

That rifle he was using and all those shots. WHAT THE FUCK.

how did he even get access to that?

Apparently he spent 2 years planning a terror attack and 3 months this attack when he moved to NZ.

How did they capture him?

I think it was a shotgun not a rifle. So presumably easier to access... not sure about the laws in NZ though.

Of course there were people cheering on. Same thing happened with Facebook stream of married guy who shot his wife etc etc. Always going to have annonymous people trying to be snarky with that shit

Ah so it was a car chase and police rammed into him, most likely probably.

The other 3 guys?

Bung Hole · Mar 15, 2019

Fucking hell. I was at work when our phones lit up like a Christmas tree. Didnt think the commotion was about a shooting incident.
Luckily I'm in Aucklans so nowhere near that but yeah its shocking.

Ah ok. I saw that it was a semi-auto shotgun on Wikipedia, but that must be wrong. Or maybe both were used by one or more of the terrorists.

Im sorry but I will not because I believe that we can not just make choices on human rights whenever we feel like it, despite how much we will despise the effects. I don't think either of our minds will change so can we agree to disagree, to avoid derailing the discussion?

Waddle Dee · Mar 15, 2019

Also, to all Muslim users and lurkers, you deserve better. I can't speak for everyone here, but I think the vast majority of us love you all. Don't let this news tell you that there's no hope. There are people that will support and protect you! All of you are just as valid as anybody else on this planet!

He starts the attack by unloading with a semi shotgun and later uses a pump to shoot at bystanders.

News was saying he used a shotgun at the start then dropped it and proceeded to attack with the rifle (semi?), or probably another type of shotgun I dunno

It's stochastic terrorism. Violent, hateful views get transmitted into the ether, always divorced by one or two steps from actual incitement, all the while knowing that someone, somewhere will translate it into action.

In the video... He uses a shotgun for entry fatal shots, throws it on ground after emptying ammunition that was loaded. Then pulls/holsters up the AR, shoots, reloads, keeps going

Ausroachman · Mar 15, 2019

Absolutely disgusting attack, Felt even more disgusted when i learnt he was Australian. This country is turning to shit thanks to our governments constant grandstanding about immigration and terrorists and aholes like fraser anning writing stupid shit like mentioned above.

Our whole government is to blame, with the constant rhetoric of Immigrants are bad, terrorism e.t.c they have bred shit like this. Not to mention crap like 8chan, pewdiepie and the other nazis who seemingly get a free pass.

Fucking disgusting.

I don't doubt it but pretending all the racists in government all speak the same way as this nut isn't gonna do you any favors in exposing and voting them out.

Mate you are defending hate speech in a thread where 40 people just got murdered by a right wing extremist.

Nobody is agreeing to disagree with you, that is just fucked up.

I made a mistake reading the comments section of the terrorist getting taken down by the cops...

A huge majority of the comments are saluting him and joking about the situation.

One said "it's not a synagogue but it's still the best thing that's happened all year."

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people?

They are YT comments. Trolls, bots, multiple accounts, brigading etc... it's not an actual reflection of how the world feels at the moment. There are terrible people out there that support this but they are not the majority.

I hope they r investigated while hiding behind their keyboards. Freedom of speech should have checks and balances.
