Terror attacks(s) in Christchurch

[Kiwidoug]

As if the people in Christchurch haven't suffered enough in that city, it is now in lockdown in what appears to be mass shootings at various sites including mosques.

 

News is still sparse but it appears to be horrific.  Let's hope for the best for all all the people caught up in this.

Just seeing this on the news here Doug, 😕 

[peter_hmfc]

The shooter broadcast it live on Facebook via a GoPro camera and the video is online. From the looks of it there could be 20+ dead from one attack.

[Kiwidoug]

Latest reports are that it's not one of these jihadi madman, it's an Aussie right wing extremist.  Reports are that at least 27 are dead.  Let's hope they're wrong.

[The Real Maroonblood]

40 now reported killed.

The media will roll out the mental health issues line for certain.

[Lord BJ]

That’s ducking brutal and to live stream it wtf.

 

It sounds like it an anti Muslim attack by some right wing extremists. 

 

Absokutely tragic. 

[Captain Sausage]

Absolute scum. 

 

Should be treated in the same way as any other mass terrorist attack. 

 

Horrific attack.

[Sooperstar]

Horrific. 3 men and a woman arrested. How do you even find a suitable punishment for that?

[cocobeab]

What a f......... terrible world we live in. 

 

Thoroughly, thorougly depressing 

[moogsy]

What a disgusting coward. 

 

The rise of the extreme right wing is extremely frightening and I can see attacks like this becoming more common. 

[Victorian]

Horrific.     What a horrendous thing.

 

If this happened here in the UK on a similar scale it would be equally as horrific but it would also be a very real threat of escaling violence getting out of control,    such is the scale of extremists loose on the streets,   from both sides.

To be fair, anyone who carries out an atrocity like this, must have a screw or two loose.

 

Just read the reports on this. Absolutely horrible.

As another poster said above, what a disgusting coward. At least he hasn't taken his own life, so hopefully he'll face the consequences of his actions.

[Homme]

Atrocious attack on innocent, peaceful men, women and children. 

 

Unfortunately these *******s will get their minute of fame in court. 

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

God damn the video is awful

[Ray Gin]

Christian terror attack.

[iantjambo]

Death toll up to 49 apparently

Won't surprise me that he'll revel in his notoriety, another Anders Breivik type possibly.

 

On the mental health issue, seemingly on the video he's shooting at people from his car, but then stops at a pedestrian crossing and as calm as you like lets people cross the road then drives on.

He seemed to hero worship Breivik so that would definitely make sense.

Why do we tag these people with labels. Right wing extremist, jihad is etc etc. No they are murderers/mass murderers pure and simple. shouldn't be breathing air. When found guilty in a court of law. Just take him/them out back and put a bullet through their head(s) quick and painful.

I agree. Giving them labels is like a badge of honour.

Completely agree. It just gives them the label that they wanted.

[Sexton Hardcastle]

Videos are harrowing. So sad.

Agree.  Shouldn’t give the ****er a second of coverage, that’s what they want.

Confusing post.

[jack D and coke]

Man in his 20’s apparently. 

What goes on in their heads to start murdering people?!

Probably be some horrendous revenge attacks for this.

I couldn't bring myself to watch videos like this. Staying away.

Indeed. Used to me drawn to macabre stuff like this when I was younger, it fascinated me. I often had to be quite clued up on it for my degree in fairness but now I just can't stomach it. 

 

The terror and pain you see in the faces of the victims and the empty eyes of the perpetrators just makes me so sad and depressed. Won't be watching this either.

[i8hibsh]

If it's not the scumbag Jihadis it is some scumbag right wing extremist - both as bad as each other.  All murdering pieces of shite.  The sooner we rid the world of the cancer that is religion the better we will all be.  Can't even bring myself to watch the news footage on this as it gets me too angry.

That Auzzie senator needs to be charged with hate speech and sent to jail.

 

That is an outrageous statement.

That’s pretty much standard in Australia these days. Not in the least bit shocked.

Just read it (not on Twitter).  Outrageous comments indeed and highly insensitive, inappropriate and globally provocative but to say he deserves jail for them really is ridiculous.

Agreed. Awful statement with awful timing but jailing is a bit mental. 

[Mauricio Pinilla]

He had another tweet where he said something like 'if this was a muslim shooter the usual lone wolf and mental illness excuses would come out'. Think he's just a bit backwards.

He will lose his job for sure. Someone in a public office (I believe he is) simply should not say that shit.

That Australian Senator is a well known white supremacist so while his comments are repulsive, they’re not really that surprising.
