Bloody hell.
No information forthcoming on how many casualties but witness has claimed to have seen many dead bodies.
There are some fucked up people around, I despair, I really do.

YeahnahYeah, Otepoti and I are thinking of you and the Muslim community in Christchurch.

DancelikeEmmaGoldman · 15/03/2019 02:51

Men. They’re men. And they had the names of other men in their guns. And I’ll bet those men have a history of family violence.

Recommend anyone going on Twitter stopping the video autoplay. The live-streamed massacre clips are everywhere and I never want to see something like that again.

frazzledasarock · 15/03/2019 02:58

The mosques are going to be full at that time, it’s Friday prayers and they tend to be pretty packed out.

It’s on the BBC news in the U.K. I’ve been to Christchurch and it’s a lovely place. Are you OK? Flowers

The Police have one man in custody, apparently he is an Australian!
I really hope there aren't any New Zealander's involved in this.
People may have individual animosity towards Muslim NZer's but I don't think we do as a nation. I may be wrong, I hope not.

White men. One confirmed shooter is Australian. Who wrote 30+ pages of his puerile imaginings, as if anything but the need to burn the world to the ground mattered to him.

Jacinta Allen was so impressive and shocked and hurt.

NZ stands as a bit of a beacon, what with its female PM and liberal values and all. For entitled males it must be as irresistible as a fire hydrant to a mad dog.

TheSerenDipitY · 15/03/2019 03:50

My daughter said he live streamed the attack
sick bastard
if you have family in or near Christchurch, they are asking us not to call and clog up the cell or phone lines, but to text message instead

New Zealand is often used as an example of progressive liberal small country (5mil). It's not. Patrisy reigns supreme. Just sayin
