Wow that senator is truly awful.
I can't post pics atm but he's saying some fucked up shit on Facebook with his supporters coming full on. Zero humanity
At the Deans Avenue mosque, we now know that 41 people have lost their lives. And at the Linwood mosque, 7 have lost their lives. Of the 40 people who have been treated at Christchurch Hospital, one has now passed. So the total number of people who have died in thishorrendous event are 49.
And our hearts go out to them and all of their families, all of their friends, all of their loved ones, and I want to assure everyone that we will do our best for them
I would like to also add that so far one person, a male in his late 20s, has been charged with murder, and should appear in the Christchurch Court tomorrow morning.
Three other people were apprehended. We believe one of those persons who was armed and was at the scene may have had nothing to do with this incident, and the two other people that have been apprehended, again in possession of firearms in the general environment, we are working through to understand what their involvement is.
We have recovered a number of firearms from both of the scenes, Linwood Avenue and Deans Avenue.
I would like to assure everyone around New Zealand that every available police and emergency resource with our other government agencies and Defence Force are doing everything they can to keep our communities safe.
We have had no other threats since we responded to this incident. We are working with a wide range of community to give support to everyone who needs it.
We have staff around the country ensuring that everyone is kept safe and that includes our armed defenders and special tactics groups right across the country being very vigilant and having a presence around all of our mosques, to ensure nothing further occurs. As I said, this is an evolving situation.
We will continue to bring you as much information as we possibly can. I will answer your questions in a minute if I can, but before I do, I would like to communicate the 0800 number for people to call for more information, especially around their loved ones, and that number is 0800115019.
I would also like to commend - and some of you would have seen the brave actions on social media of police staff who responded to this incident - they have gone above and beyond their communities to apprehend at least one of these offenders. So I take my hat off to all of my staff.
I'm extremely proud of what they have done to date. Thank you.
Not always but I do look at this more as them not jumping to conclusions until they've interrogated the suspects and conducted a thorough investigation surrounding the manifesto and other social media posts he/they were responsible for.
I just wouldn't immediately look at that definition and think the cops are being coy about what this is. Just that they're properly investigating this in an official capacity before they attach "terrorism" to this without properly processing the motivation.
And again just to be clear, I view this as an act of terrorism without a doubt. Though my views and the views of the police of Christchurch before their investigation is complete likely will differ.
Be careful with that flight booking chch airport has currently suspended flights, double check they lift the suspension if she has to come.Still no word from my neighbor's family. At this point i'm preparing for the worse. I'm hoping they'll get back to her once things settle down, but I got her a flight there anyway.
So pissed at how helpless I feel right now.

They're saying 3 of them might not have had anything to do with the attack

How on earth can this man not be arrested for terrorist sympathising and spreading hate? The victims blood from the mosques in NZ has yet to dry and he thinks Muslims are to blame for simply existing. How is it acceptable that a senator can openly call for Muslim extermination and it be treated as everyday discourse without consequence . There is a form of hate against Muslims that seems to be common place and protected by politicians and the right, we've seen the Quebec mosque massacre, the London mosque terror attack, now this in NZ, violence against Muslims is the eventual outcome of this sentiment when its not checked and becomes mainstream like it has in much of the west. This can't go on.
There are 4 people in custody.It makes me sick some people on other places celebrate this guy, on the other hand I don't think this should be a discussion about Pewediepie. The shooter is a sick dude and is responsible for his own actions.
This is what I want to know. Just last week 8chan was in the news and everyone seemed to be aware that it was a shitbag website. Why wasn't anything done?Man, I want to punch someone or something so fucking bad I can't believe this shit.
I'm beyond fucking angry.
Why the FUCK does sites like 8chan get to stay up?
Oh yes of course. It's the Muslims fault they got shot.
to be honest, I expected something like this happening sooner the way the world is now
hopefully this is not the start of a continually happening of terrorist attacks by different kinds of extremists
not even close, unfortunately. 149 people were killed in a school attack in Peshawar not so long ago and amongst those 132 were children https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Peshawar_school_massacreForgive me for my memory not being too great, but isn't 49 one of the highest death counts we've ever had for a mass shooting?
I was wondering why I've never heard of it, but I realized pretty quickly.not even close, unfortunately. 149 people were killed in a school attack in Peshawar not so long ago and amongst those 132 were children https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Peshawar_school_massacre
One person killed over 49 people at separate mosques? I find that really hard to believe.
As far as I'm aware people can freely access it in the UK.Man, I want to punch someone or something so fucking bad I can't believe this shit.
I'm beyond fucking angry.
Why the FUCK does sites like 8chan get to stay up? WE'VE BEEN SAYING THIS SHIT FOR YEARS, THESE FUCKERS GET TO RADICALISE PEOPLE IN THE OPEN AND FUCK ALL IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT
Fuck everything man...
To be honest, if the video footage is any indicator it is not implausible.
All fuelled by the right wing media and the scourge of uncensored social media. This, trump, brexit, all stems from the same thing. The world is on fire.
Nah, that's too quick a death.They don't deserve to be in custody fam. They deserve to be gunned down like the fucking cunts they are.
