How is that possible? What the fuck is Twitter even doing?
I'm not sure how the citizenship laws factor into legalities, but New Zealand has significantly less strict gun laws than Australia. Here gun laws are tight as fuck, implemented after the aforementioned Port Arthur massacre. Unless you knew where to look and had the volume of money to splash, acquiring an AR-15 in Australia would not be easy. Let alone getting it overseas.
New Zealand is another matter entirely. From memory, the police issue firearm licenses to citizens in New Zealand, on the condition they meet extremely basic "good standing" tests. None of this includes a psyche or thorough history examination.
It's also entirely possible he acquired them illegally. If it's true he made a good bit of money in investments, and had Bitcoin to back it up, he could procure firearms on darkweb marketplaces. The usual method is weapons are purchased and shipped in pieces to various addresses in the country of target to try and throw off customs.
These sites (and their members) should be treated just like ISIS forums (and their members) are. There are no safe harbor provisions for terrorist recruitment sites.
4chan is a garbage fire, but it's a law abiding garbage fire. Posts that even joke about planned shootings and the usual illegal shit are taken down immediately.That is very hard to believe, based on what was posted in the THQ/8chan thread and what I've read online about it.
I'm sure there is a technical solution to filter any uploads that show footage of the terror attack.
Even my sister has seen the video apparently. And her online reach pretty much stops at Facebook.

Man i honestly wish donald trump said nothing at all. A tweet with best wishes and directly under it he links a white supremacist website. We all get it no need to speak in code that he hates minorities, that bullshit sympathy tweet just makes it worse.
These horrible spikes always happened, were even worse than they are today, and took place more often but we just never heard about itYeah but it almost seems like we traded a decline for these horrible spikes.
My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques. 49 innocent people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured. The U.S. stands by New Zealand for anything we can do. God bless all!
his intention is to divide both sides we literally can't help ourselves but immediately fulfill his wishes and politicize this & be at each other's throats. Whether it's Candace Owens, Pewdiepie, or Spyro the fucking Dragon he practically just paints his targets in his manifesto seemingly at random and like clockwork we execute
Couldn't really sleep at all last night, this whole thing is just awful. Of course these kind of people won't go after ISIS or anyone that can fight back.
My worst fear from this is that it's been proven effective with the current political climate, even if he literally outlines it in his manifesto that his intention is to divide both sides we literally can't help ourselves but immediately fulfill his wishes and politicize this & be at each other's throats. Whether it's Candace Owens, Pewdiepie, or Spyro the fucking Dragon he practically just paints his targets in his manifesto seemingly at random and like clockwork we execute. It's not like he's some kind of brilliant mastermind either, it really just speaks volumes that left and right are at that point that we can easily be led and manipulated by a deranged, meme-sprouting incel.
The meme sprouting part is what is really haunting about this stuff and grounds it in a weird way. You really see the personification of a /pol/ shit poster here and it's disturbing. Moreover, I really worry that this style of live-streaming the mass shooting with a GoPro will inspire others. Some dumbass edgelord is going to eventually try and do this with a school shooting and I only hope we can prevent it.
get fucked you vile piece of shit
don't both-sides a mass fucking murderer
fuck technical solutions the algorithm gods will save the day
fuck accountability
fuck giving people jobs
Just...just stop. Denying that Pewdiepie or Candace Owens had any effect on this incident or the politics surrounding it is just being wilfully ignorant.My worst fear from this is that it's been proven effective with the current political climate, even if he literally outlines it in his manifesto that his intention is to divide both sides we literally can't help ourselves but immediately fulfill his wishes and politicize this & be at each other's throats.

Easy. I get tensions are running high and it's an incredibly emotional time but that's uncalled for.
For example, Martin Bryant killed 35 people in the mid 90s, Port Arthur massacre, and is serving 35 life sentences without parole. Nobody is going through our courts having methodically, systematically planned and executed the murder of this many people and walking out of prison here.
Congrats America. You are now officially a country that is exporting its hateful ideology. Right up there with the Saudi's.
Yup. Even the former mayor of that city said the same - that this is the sort of thing they thought only happened far away from their islands.
This is on America. Years of mass shootings with no effort at all on the part of the American government to prevent them has normalised these barbaric acts and now idiots all over the world are copying them. The American corporations that do nothing to combat this poisonous mentality on their own websites are similarly to blame for this. Facebook actually allowed this shit to be livestreamed and did nothing about it?
Increased knife crime in the UK, mass shootings in countries where this sort of thing just doesn't happen and increasingly dangerous and insidious ideologies spreading like wildfire... The world looks up to America as the example to follow and now look where that's gotten us.

You need to settle down. Your hostility is not doing anyone any good.fuck technical solutions the algorithm gods will save the day

They deserve the vitriol, simply because people like them led the impressionable down this rabbit hole of Right Wing radicalisation.
You need to settle down. Your hostility is not doing anyone any good.
There were 14,723 deaths to gun violence in 2018 with 340 of them being mass shootings and he barely says anything about them. His empathy is so shallow an ant couldn't drown in it.
You know what he's going to get more than 19 votes this time and that should probably tell you all you need to know about some people in Australia.
A resetera member is harming your neighbors? So you tell him to get fucked?give me a reason to be civil towards people harming my neighbours
