There's valid reasons why people want to protect and defend themselves and their loved ones with a sidearm at home.

However, having shitlords roam the streets with military grade hardware is just insanity.

Almost all weapons are military grade. You’re just using buzz words.
I don't consider a 6 shooter to be on the same level as an AR-15.
Why on earth would you need an assault rifle for? Or any other automatic weapon for that matter?

I've never seen a news story that said: "Heroic citizen mows down government officials with automatic guns in self defense"

It really makes me angry that people would do this to Jews or anyone really. But Jewish people have my highest respect.

And I also resent the anti semitism within the black community.

As far as I am concerned, Jewish people and black people are allies more connected than any other group. It’s how I feel about the issue and I try as much as I can to curb any anti semitism I see within the black community. The anti semitism I view from the left is as concerning as the kind that comes from the right.

My hope is that with this it will pressure social media outlets like Twitter to take anti semitism more seriously. There’s no reason at all that Louis Farrahkhan’s hateful rhetoric should go unpunished on that site if they’re willing to ban conservatives like Roseanne just because Farrahkhan is on the “left” and black.

Anti semitism makes me disgusted.

I've been thinking about my grandmother lately.

She's 89. She was born in Ohio but her father migrated from Poland so she lost cousins, great aunts, etc. to the Holocaust. When call or visit her I deliberately avoid talking about shit like this. She's still fairly sharp and follows the news, but I don't know how aware she is of the alt-right given how peculiarly online that is.

I think about what it would be like to live a life like hers, live through all that apparent progress (she stood outside her elementary school classroom while they prayed whereas I never felt anything other than accepted growing up), and then at the end feel like it might all be slipping away.

My elementary school used to have Holocaust survivors come in every year to talk at an assembly.  I've been thinking a lot of that lately and how important it was to actually see victims in person and listen to their stories.

I also don't think the feeling of lost progress is only a minority thing.  Trump being elected shattered my ideas I had that we were always progressing to a better future.  Of course, this progress isn't a life and death issue to me like it is to others but it was a big hit to how I viewed people.

He only used a .45 pistol, not a "military-grade assault rifle" (which isn't even a real thing), so therefore the libs have been owned.

Looking into the organization that provided the study might show they have a large bias. They are labor deregulation and are against the German minimum wage. This study might be agenda-based. Keep in mind as you read.

Why did I watch the New Zealand footage? It made me so fucking emotional. I’ve seen lots of videos of people dying but something about so many innocent people at once is so savage to me. Going to give me so many nightmares :/

Also apparently the shooter started a thread on 8chan and his manifesto is half memeshit which somehow makes it sicker

edit: I guess it's one shooter among several

Right now glad I follow a small amount of people on Twitter. Passing around the video and the manifesto is just going to cause more pain.

What the fuck man. I'll wait for the info to be confirmed and all that, but they targeted a mosque. We're all thinking the same thing and we're probably right.

Sorry, I looked at the profile and saw a photo of a dude with a beard. I assumed that was him, but maybe not.

I think what everyone here is capable of doing, though, is if you know a young guy who's extremely alienated from society, reach out to him, make him feel like he's a part of something, so that he doesn't have to go online and find something crazy to be a part of instead.
That last part's important because he'll just turn his account over to Glen.

Puts a whole 'nother spin on shootings when it happens so close to home. Always felt like such a distant, and tbh, North American problem. Saw a few frames of the video my colleagues dl'd, I work with pretty disassociated nerds and I saw them wince and look kinda disgusted with themselves as they continued watching people getting murdered before they shut it down. Bit disgusted, but like curly said it probably didn't register for them straight away. Really depressing, horrible shit. Happy our prime minister at least denounced it as a terrorist attack immediately. Apparently the shooter had some tags on the guns indicating some white supremacy shit. Pretty clear anyway.

Younger me used to watch this stuff out of curiosity but some time ago I concluded it just isn’t good for the soul.

I was getting an Uber into town today and my driver had the radio on as this was breaking. He was muslim and had been at a local mosque just before. It was horrible seeing him react to the news and keep on driving - he was stone faced and seemed incredulous. I didn't know what to do or say, I just told him I was so sorry and thought New Zealand was better than this. This attack has shaken us to the core - I never thought I would see anything like this in NZ where we are apparently so tolerant and inclusive. A horrible day for humanity.

yeah, I learned of rotten dotcom when I was ~14 circa. 2000 and I wanted no part of any of that shit. Some of the content was distributed by edgelord nerds amongst our school email system. I can understand the idea of morbid curiosity, but my moral compass overrode that even at that age. I just always considered that that type of content was procured and curated by degenerates for degenerates. Nothing positive or educational about it whatsoever

It was mostly pranks among nerds for me, like people would make goatse, tubgirl your desktop or create a host entry on your pc to make everything link to rotten. At some point I unironically went there to see what's 'new' and ended up browsing there, 4chan /b/ and some other places for a while, I stopped going there about 10 - 15 years ago now, but I forsure felt it's shadow on me after. It took me probably a year to enjoy the internet 'normally' after.

Absolutely terrible, I haven’t seen the video of him shooting and I hopefully never will, but the way he nonchalantly takes out the gun out of his trunk and walks up to the mosque is just sickening.
What a sick fuck,

Yeah, they showed the clip of him grabbing his arsenal out of the boot on the national 6 o'clock news which I thought was super irresponsible as it showed viewers that the footage even exists. It deserves no recognition whatsoever.

And for sure PewDiePie will have problems now. The attacker explicitly called his channel and it will be investigated by the officials. If they find *anything* there that can be linked to hate crime - it's over. Methinks he would be wiser to not wait for investigations but just close the channel himself. Sponsors etc. will avoid him like plague now.

saw the vid. I believe as a society we should do proper training to react better in those situations, just like we're trained into how to react on fires, quakes, etc. It made me sick to see people just piling up in a corner pretending to be dead when there's no rooms to watch. They were just waiting to be slaughtered. When you see one guy tackle him down causing him losing the weapon, it makes you realize that if that same reaction was more common, if they actually stacked as a group to retaliate once he entered the room, there would've only been a handful of victims.

May they rest in peace. And to the gunman, all seven hells.

Also the edgelord meme stuff (subscribe to pewdiepie, initialD music when fleeing)... jesus christ.

it's mental how you can go back to 2008 4chan memelogy when habbo hotel raids were all the rage and trace its cultural diaspora down to everything from facebook aunts recirculating cat macros to people who took a decade of edgeposting to heart and went and blew away a mosque.

I don't think he did anything else but try to persist in the internet.

You've got to understand that someone that spends 24/7 on the internet with a bunch of people glorifying what becomes famous in the internet are probably going to do actions to persist in that medium. It's pretty basic psychology stuff. He doesn't need to appear in books. In his mind, he's already in the pinnacle of what he cares about.
