    I wonder how much America has heard about the gun massacre in New Zealand??
    So far 50 dead
    A Mosque was attacked by an Australian, 28 years old apparently with communist connections (?)
    My girlfriend asked why NZ? I think I was right in answering the gun laws...he was able to get a semi auto weapon, or several from NZ where they have a relaxed attitude to gun laws, unlike Australia which has some of the toughest if not the toughest gun laws in the world....he couldn't bring it back to Australia so he executed the crime in NZ where he got the guns.
    Not surprisingly the NZ PM is studying the Australian laws and will move to ban semi autos post haste, and we will see how much further...One story running today...

    Live updates: Christchurch terror attack day four

    50 Muslims dead...the PM has donned a scarf and has been with the Muslim community since the massacre...she says the government will pay for all the funeral costs and will also be helped financially where needed.

    CAC,
    it's been on nearly every newscast and media outlet since it first happened. Right down to one of your Representatives getting 'egg-headed' .
    Hate knows no borders.

    Whether foreign or domestic, I believe that we are going to be hearing and reading about these attacks, this war, for a long, long time to come. I don’t feel safe in church, if and when I go. But it can happen anywhere. All we can hope for is that we and our loved ones are not victims of it.

    In a way, I hate to see all the coverage given to these events. This is what the shooters want and is their real "reward". They and their actions are running the news cycle all over the world for days and weeks on end. It must be a great feeling of power for these pieces of filth. Just my opinion, but if the news orgs would put a severe cap on the amount of coverage they'd take away a lot of motivation for people doing this.

    He claims our president inspired him. Both used the same words to describe Moslems.

    Australia's PM refused to name him...saying only humans have names...a little misguided IMO

    A tonne of coverage locally CAC.

    Sadly it's not even surprising to see this in light of the ongoing violence in this area.

    A FOX News commentator was suspended for her anti Moslem statements and our president wants her reinstated. It gets curiouser and curiouser .

    He said in his 'manifesto' that he most admires the Chinese government, and that he's some kind of eco-warrior. As for guns, he could have done just as much damage and perhaps more, with a pump shotgun and buckshot. In related (and ignored) news, Muslims continue to slaughter Christians around the world. It's not even reported because of course Muslims are going to slaughter people.

    Unreported: Jihadists slaughtered 120 Christians in past month

    Maybe we should crush his balls and his family's balls to get to the truth. ;)

    Are you suggesting we decide the issue by who has the highest body count? I hear you justifying the shooter in your response.

    Gun laws don't mean anything, FYI. They only affect law-abiding citizens. The Criminal World (not law-abiding) are full of means of getting guns, no matter the restrictions that are place. Some one committing a crime does not follow the law!

    It happened in NZ because that is where the wacko lived, not because of their Gun laws.

    Of course, today, another Muslim Terrorist has attacked a Tram in the Netherlands. Seems like he had been under investigation for rape as well, but had not been picked up by the police?

    I really can't think of any way to justify killing this kid. Collateral damage in a Just War?

    Of course there is no justification. I'm only pointing out how political correctness in the media changes our perceived reality. Muslims murdering people is a daily event across the globe, but goes almost unreported. Yet, when a westerner goes nuts and kills some of them it's like the end of the world as far as our media is concerned. Muslims do not concern themselves with Christianaphobia or Westernaphobia, yet we are supposed to clutch our pearls and look for a fainting couch when some of them are killed?

    This commie will be locked up for life, which is too bad because in the US he'd be executed. There is justice when people are murdered in western countries, but no justice at all in the Islamic world.

    Must be my bias stuck in my ear. I recall that here is another "Kill all the Moslems and crush their balls before they kill is" thread here somewhere and you expressed your opinions.

    Containing thread drift is always a problem but this thread is about crazy people and the forces that enable them. You are either ok with killing innocent Moslems or you are not. Yes/No. Pro/Con. Good thing or Bad thing. Should be easy to pick a position.

    I'm all for killing members of Jihadi groups, wherever and whenever they can be found. I'm very much against killing innocent parties of any type. I think my attitude is sensible on the matter.

    A very odd way to interpret a portion of the discussion here. Who in this thread justified the killing this child, or any others? Tell me and I'll ban them immediately.

    I agree that Jihadi members deserve no quarter. Unfortunately, they surround themselves with women and children who become collateral damage. Then they blame the West for killing innocents. I should also mention that I see no difference between the filth that hit Christchurch and the Jihadis. We have to remember that it isn't what someone holds in their hands that counts, it's what they hold in their head.
