@mikedogz nothing heroic hitting a man from behind.
Why can't people separate his obvious behaviour from some stupid words of an attention seeker.
You can't just assault people because you're not capable of processing the unimportance of some words.
Bingo. What do you reckon caused more hurt. The words of an inbred tool or the choke hold that kid was in?

@Rancid-Schnitzel Does anyone actually remember how they came up with the name in the first place?
Who gives a shit. Even contemplating changing the name is eyewatering in its level of stupidity. Even stupider is that a group of people should apparently be grossly offended by something that occurred 800 fucking years ago. It's like the rest of Europe being offended when Norwegian soccer supporters wear Viking horns.

It was mentioned earlier in the thread, but how about we start another thread, maybe in the Politics forum, where we can discuss things that are too sensitive for here. The above deleted posts suggest that perhaps it's needed?

My day job usually doesn't work directly with refugees, but occasionally does from time to time. Christchurch was a main refugee resettlement centre until the earthquakes, and only just resumed a few months back. Surviving a war zone only to be shot in New Zealand is something we're feeling very sick about.
Syrian refugee Khaled Mustafa and his family thought they had found a safe haven from death and torture when they arrived in New Zealand only a few months ago.
But Mustafa was killed while praying at the Deans Avenue mosque in Christchurch on Friday, Syrian Solidarity New Zealand spokesman Ali Akil said.
His son Hamza, who is about 16, is missing, and his son Zaid, who is about 13, is in Christchurch Hospital where he underwent a six-hour operation last night, Akil said.
Mustafa's wife and daughter, who were not at the mosque on Friday, were in "total shock, devastation and horror", Akil said.
They had "survived atrocities" in their home country and "arrived here in a safe haven only to be killed in the most atrocious way".
"They were just looking for a safe place. Unfortunately we can't claim that New Zealand is a safe place anymore." -
Alright, this has been moved to Politics but it will still be moderated to the same way as it has been
It's been moved here because it's easier to ban people from the Politics forum and still let them post in Sports/Off Topic etc
If you've had a few posts deleted because of the politics you're pushing on the thread then you can consider that a warning.

I hated seeing the silver fern in the video as that monster got his weapons from the boot.

I get that people want to show their solidarity with our countrys grief through things like putting our flag on landmarks. Its very nice and I'm sure its done with good intentions .
However these sorts of tragedies also bring out some appalling narcissists who use them to seek attention and social brownie points . I've never been a fan of Lucy Lawless because of her previous attention whoring and virtue signalling and on cue she tries to make 15/3 all about her.

Well we know posts like this are gonna happen and naturally some of them are gonna be extremely sanctimonious. I'm sure Lorde is writing a fucken song as we speak.
Flipside of that is seeing our flag flying overseas, even a cynical fluffybunny like me appreciates that gesture from the rest of the world.

One guys view of the Gun club he was a member of.
I guess thankfully most people who rant and rave about shit are harmless keyboard warriors. This guy is taking to social media to vent, completely understandably, but it's pretty damn hard if not downright impossible for Police to spare resources to ascertain which threats are real or not.
It's like Police saying each year they want 0 deaths on our roads. Noble sentiment but it will never ever happen.

Apparently the guy who charged the gunman is named Naeem Rashid. He is still alive but in a bad way. His son did not make it. So he's a hero but it won't mean shit to him now. Life's not like the movies no matter how much you want it to be.
Fuck it, he died of his injuries.

This Terrorist Will likely be in isolation in prison. I have seen a video shared on facebook from a bikie gang member putting a call out out to his associates for the terrorists to be "got at". An easily swayed prison guard could get financial compensation.

He will have a huge target on his head for sure
