Major terrorist (white supremacist) attack in Christchurch (NZ) [UP6: 4 suspects in custody, 50 confirmed dead] (READ THREADMARKS)
- Thread starter Trevelyon
- Start date
I must admit that I put this thread on ignore when the details started coming in because I just didn't want to dwell on it and make myself feel worse than I already was at the time. I've realised that such a choice was wholly selfish and all I can really say damn, this is fucking horrifying. The fact that even 1 person (let alone the potential 4) can harbour so so much hatred towards a people that such an evil act is 'fine' to them makes me sick. I can't imagine what the victim's families must be going through right now and the same goes for the Muslims who have to fear potential copycat killings in the future...
The Daily Mail isn't even worth being used as toilet paper. Their Saturday Edition headline proclaims "MASSACRE SHAME OF FACEBOOK" (in regards to Facebook's hosting of the terrorist's live stream) when they themselves had hosted both the video and the manifesto-in-full ASAP after the attack actually happened.

ISPs are powerless; they already tried everything against piratebay without any success.
I caught a ban on Facebook because I pointed out that no one is saying shit like, where is the shooters father, why are white people so savage?
Lol. Whatever.
Lol. Whatever.
Nah. That's what happens when you lift your entire political philosophy from sub-Reddits. Mark the glibness and move on. These types of chuds are looking for attention.
Haven't read the article but I assume it's just a biography of the guy. If these ever lead to something that could be used to prevent the next attack I'm all for it, but just writing about the guy's life isn't worth it.
Because the people who believe in similar shit he did don't want to believe that they might be bad guys too.
I'd say it's bizarre but I guess I knew the truth.
Some people in this forum are fucking cowards, I wish they'd just admit their views.
You're banned but I still want to throw a hearty fuck you your way.
Amazing how this thread and the gaming side thread is just bringing all the burners out of the woodwork.

The now is not the time for politics line is so fucking offensive. It's exactly the time to talk about politics.
These alt/burner accounts are really coming out of the woodwork for this.
Eh there are a lot of humans that are selfish assholes. Don't get discouraged because there are always good people too. The trick is to ignore and avoid the assholes and find good people to hang with.
Empathy is tough for a lot of people to learn (including myself, I was definitely a selfish asshole when I was younger). And it's easy to blame others for your own problems. But keep your calm and lead by example and some of them will grow up along the way.
Are you all done tripping over your own dicks to make it seem as if I had somehow meant that Breivik isn't a cunt?
What I meant was (and wrote!) was the actual attack wasn't focused yet. Whereas this one (and others elsewhere) have become so, which you might fucking remember from 1930's Germany (gangs of violence) into the eventual Holocaust by a focused system with the means to do so.
Good lord, some of you really need to learn not everyone is against 'you', whatever that means.
Also, I couldn't care less about any of their supposed motives, much like Mein Kampf is literally unreadable garbage. I would never read any of that crap, because what they DID is what matters, and WHO got killed by it. There is no monument for that manifesto, and there never will be.

Is it possible for a top level domain to reject DNS requests from a local DNS server looking to resolve 8ch's hostname? All the top level domains are owned by ICANN.
It's absurd how many ppl browse this site itching to jump in and show their ass when something like this happens.
I think that anyone who shouts "Subscribe to Pewdiepie!" now should be charged in all honesty, because right now that's probably the scariest phrase you can hear in a crowded place and yelling that is clearly means to incite a panic. It sounds ridiculous but it's a sobering thought to realize.
I bet you we'll have multiple reports of dumb kids screaming that out over the weekend trying to get a rise out of folks. And with it being St. Patrick's day, I can imagine some folks getting hurt by people rightfully panicked that some waste of space is going to open fire on them. Ugh.

I mean even if you got that elaborate they'd just change the name to 12chan and put up mirrors everywhere.
Maybe if you stopped 12chan they'd stop because 16 is too old for them.
I mean no, given he had put IEDs around and had co conspirators.
Or have alt/inactive accounts waiting to do so. It's genuinely so pathetic.
We thankfully already have very strict gun laws. NZ laws are very lax compared to Australia.
Such a tragedy how a white man's life (figuratively) ended yesterday. We need to do more to protect our innocent blonde headed babies.
Don't use the Daily Mirror to represent Tabloids let alone the whole country .
It's them using their shitty tactics to generate attention , because that's what sells for tabloids. Don't let them being aberrant pieces of shits cloud your judgement of others, it's just them being aberrant pieces of shits. There's a lot of good in this country and some bad - just like everywhere else.

Whatever point you're trying to make is still extremely poorly articulated, so stop blaming other people for not being able to read your mind.
Are you trying to say that the difference is that one attacked ostensible facilitators and supporters of Muslims, while the other attacked Muslims directly? I don't think it's a meaningful difference, and both are analogous to brown shirt terrorism rather than systematic state extermination.
Can't win to be honest, if he died to police he'd be a martyr, as it is his shitty manifesto will be dragged out in court giving the sick fucker a voice. Best thing that could happen is a total media block on all legal proceedings barring the sentencing.

This was hours after the shooting. I couldn't find an update.
My mother showed me the video not knowing what to expect. I wish she didn't. I couldn't help but feel disgusted and crying all the way through.
How the hell did he manage to kill so many, get his second gun, go back, walk around the street and take his sweet time without having any police around?!

Great to hear. Talking about politics during these events is absolutely critical because it's getting right to the root of the problem of how this situation even happened in the first place. People don't just have one emotion and friends and family members of victims are likely to be just about as angry as they are sad and mourning about what transpired and will want to know how the leadership move forward and improve the safety and security in NZ.
The perpetrator's gun license was acquired in late 2017 and their arms obtained legally. This had been planned for years.
There is simply no reason for civilians to have access to semi automatic rifles and pump action shotguns capable of mass murder. I hope I never see them in my country.

This is what I also wondered about.
Apparently police presence is lax in the town of 400k people?
That hurts to watch. I really wish there was something more I could do...
I'm wondering if the Climate Change School marches had an impact, they were on the same day and could have seen police overstretched, plus made movement difficult. Also wondering if it was planned on this day for this very reason.
Love the #PeacefulMosques hashtag started by Rami Ismail. Some good and hopeful stuff there.
Also, shout out to the Muslims who are away from their families right now. I went to see my mom and brothers today and it made us feel happy just being next to each other. I know many of us are either working or studying abroad and away from their loved ones so I hope yall stay safe and know that people are thinking of you.

Unfortunately we have a growing gun lobby that's trying to relax the regulations and prevent further tightening of them. Hopefully, we will see an end to that, at least for now, as public sentiment again turns away from guns.
Doubtful. Despite being a far right shithead, the guy seems to have been raised in a family that valued environmental causes and by all appearances, continues to embrace them. I don't think he would have intentionally wanted to overshadow the climate strikes.
Police resources, I don't know but no doubt they were unprepared for something like this to happen.
If I were involved in a mosque anywhere in the US right now I'd be pushing heavily for having a private security staff around anytime there are worshippers present.
Can we put to bed once and for all the debate on whether the OK sign is now a white supremacist symbol? Because it fucking is.
