@Kirwan I'm sure there would be the initial buzz of saving lives, but taking a life would be tough for some to deal with.
I don't know. According to the Norwegian police who captured Anders Bering Breivik, they were seriously pissed off he didn't give them an excuse to blow his head off.
Regardless, this is horrendous. Who would have thought this could happen in NZ?
it has though, Aramoana.
Hey, late to the discussion but been following the story all day. Will chip in with the odd comment as I work through this.
But firstly I think we all realise Aramoana was something completely different to this.

Those who watched the video while pretending they didn’t want to...would you have done so if it was your mum, dad, siblings etc?
You don’t HAVE to watch the video, even if your workmates are.
Just call a spade a spade, you watched it because you were a bit fascinated and please spare us the false horror.

@Billy-Tell You could have just quoted me as what you're saying is pretty much directed at me haha and yeah there's an element of truth to what you're saying. I didn't really want to watch it and I mean that as I didn't go out of my way to find it but there was also a part of me somewhere that did hence why I decided to join in and watch it as someone was showing it on their phone. Sort of like joining a bandwagon.

My thoughts with everyone in the Christchurch CBD, especially the first-responders and the medical staff in Christchurch hospital. These will be tough days for the Garden City, but you are some of the most tough and compassionate people on Earth.
The key thing to remember about terrorists is that they must never win.
Just quoting this as it is so well put.
Heart goes out to all the friends and families of the victims.
Love conquers hate.

That fucking video is everywhere. I’m not even looking but some prominent NZers who I follow on social media are getting it sent to them by loads of internet trolls. I can’t fucking believe this world. The internet and social media progression is systematically destroying the planet. Massive fucking turning point for me today. People who share the video are equally as evil as the nutjob who today forever fucking changed NZ. Very angry, somewhat emotional and feeling numb.
Twitter has to start taking some real responsibility for the shit on their platform.

re Twitter . Do you mean taking down content that is promoting illegal acts or just in general.
Because one of those helps promote the goals of the shooter and the other hinders them. -
Well I've woken up and it wasn't all a bad dream.
I've long been of the opinion that if a terrorist wanted to make a massive statement they could target a church in a provincial city.
Lots of people, crammed in close together, all facing away from the restricted (effectively) single point of entry and exit.
Just got the denomination of the victims and motivation of the perps wrong.

The world is still pretty fucked today...still shake my head when I hear the number, how can this be so, here, anywhere outside of a warzone, with that many involved how did they pull it off and no one else know...
Fucking cnuts.

@Baron-Silas-Greenback in general.
You shouldn’t be able to stumble across that video. Look at Chris Gayle on twitter. Then look at replies. Some fucktard has replied twice with the video.
Check out his profile and he’s sent it to many others.
What repercussions can he face? Nothing, really.
That’s just not right, and it makes me unbelievable angry.

I'm certain there is technology they can use to identify the video based on the audio and stop it from being uploaded. The way it is being shared around is really sick.

Same way Google identifies copyright music in their videos.

I’m angry about our gun laws.
A man gets a gun licence in December 2018. 3 months later he has LEGALLY obtained 5 firearms including 2 semi-automatics. WTF?!
I can see no recreational use for semi-automatic. You should be allowed 1 firearm which consists of a bolt loaded weapon for rabbit/pig/deer hunting.

OK I'm confused - why did Jacinda say 4 people were arrested, 3 men and 1 woman. Then go on to say only the men were in relation to this incident? Why mention the woman?
They confirmed the 4th person arrested was a member of the public who was armed that came to help. Hes since been released.
