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

"One of the officers phoned me straight after to advise me that they'd damaged a car."
Stills said it was the second car from his patch damaged in a week and he'd previously told staff not to wreck any others as they were already short.

He'll get preventive detention, with a non-parole period higher than we've ever seen. If it is less than 75 years I would be surprised. Even if the non-parole period is shorter than his remaining life, it seems very unlikely he would ever be released.

A citizen from another country performed the most evil act in NZs history. He’s also spent a lot of time flying back and forward to suspect counties like Turkey and Pakistan.
Once the shock has died down I’d be hoping our govt makes a few hard please explain requests to several foreign agencies.
Imagine the shit storm if this was a kiwi who did this in Australia or the States.
Turkey and Pakistan seen like odd places to travel for a white supremacist that hates Muslims. Has there been any explanation for why he was there?

I really, really REALLY wish Americans would stop tweeting that this was our first mass shooting, and that we changed the law and banned semi automatic weapons already.
I know a lot of people there are extremely frustrated about their own gun control situation, but using this horrific event for their own ends and making up shit is pissing me off no end.

Jesus..back in civilisation after a weeks holiday, even with my self enforced embargo avoiding all things news and politics for a week I still got notified late Friday via message from my family. Haven't read into everything yet but damn I'm scared. The ripple effect from each of these 100+ victims from this senseless violence will be felt by society for years. I see media are happily throwing fuel on the fire and authorities are gearing up to make hamfisted knee-jerk decisions. I worry about revenge attacks from equivalent crazies in other camps and then revenge attacks on those revenge attacks. I hope we don't just run blindly into the reality that this terrorist desired to achieve his goals...but I also don't know how things can be turned around and this madness just stopped in its tracks. Just horrifying. And for it to happen in New Zealand of all places is just unbelievable.
