Wait I just saw the headline on my local news site and it's talking about two mosque... Was there multiple shooters or did he have time to go to two different mosque?

Dude wrote a PDF about his plans and he mentioned a second mosque. A little while later reports came in of a second shooting at that very mosque. Apparently there are 2 shooters (there's footage going around of 2 people with guns, but it's not confirmed to be of this shooting just yet), but they only have one in custody so far.

Do you think that it became a meme on 8chan for no reason?? Seriously??

They just don't get it. We need everyone to understand how damaging this is. As if this whole thing isn't evidence enough.

Fair enough, it is clear that in a thread like this, this discussion can't be had. For the record, and as I stated before, I haven't said anything in support of PDP nor have I even endorsed the terrorist act. I just find it hard to believe that you straight up knee jerk attack me when I clearly outlined from the beginning why it wasn't directly related to PDP because it was a meme reference. Is PDP's toxicity a grooming scenario? Yes, of fucking course it is. But beside the point, here we are arguing semantics on something I clearly outlined and have been told I said something else.



I added it in as context on furthering my reply. Am I not allowed to defend myself when I'm being told I'm saying something I am not?

Jesus fucking christ. Look at yourself. You're using "it's just a meme" for A MASS SHOOTING.

I hope it was just one shooter and the reports of multiple was just the standard early misinformation.

It could be only one but nothing is certain. After shooting up the mosque, the terrorist drove off in his car shooting everyone who looked Muslim enough. There was a moment when he almost stopped for pedestrians on the crosswalk but honked at them to move out of the way. It could be just him driving to a different location that is sparking all these reports

I've seen it more and more in aus peoples ideology and support of insane things like this slipping in further and further. Makes me sick to be australian and think someone from here can and has gone this far to attack our neighbours in NZ or that anyone can do this.

I'm so fucking sorry to anyone caught up in this.

The fucking internet is creating extremists in plain sight and no one wants to do shit. The fuckers in charge of these websites should be fucking sued for negligence. Toss their ass in jail and garnish every penny they've earned for all I care. Google, Facebook, Twitter... all ran by fucking greedy sociopaths.

The digital era needs a concrete focus on ethics and literal-philosophical studies. These systems, communities and services can't be under charge of technicians who don't have a clue about "real life". I'm exaggerating (also because I don't know how to put this thought in exact english) but this is basically my point. I don't think they're really "sociopaths", but sure they've been negligent and greedy in many instances. And this is deeply bad as well.

I just hope we didn't reach the point of no return.

The latest official response I believe is that they are "tracing" a potential second shooter, but still have not confirmed if there was more than one. They are still treating it as an active shooter situation.

Amin.

I know they suggested closing Mosque doors for safety but that sounds all sorts of depressing. It's supposed to be a place of solace and comfort.

These fuckers wont deter us from Jummah tomorrow.

I understand why people wouldn't want to watch or spread the video (I definitely don't want to see it) but I honestly believe lawmakers should be forced to watch it. People knew that war was hell, but seeing footage of Vietnam changed public opinion. It's one thing to know that something is happening.. it's another thing to see it.

Then again, maybe even seeing it wouldn't do anything to change relevant opinions.

Heinous does not even begin to describe this. It’s absolutely insane that this could happen in a civilized society. Humanity was a mistake.

Is there somewhere we can donate to the mosque or to the hospitals that are taking these people in?
