This massacre is going to be made political sooner if not later, may as well get it out of the way early.


The attack was politically motivated, allegedly carried out by someone who seems to have gone too far down some kind of internet hole.

People with social influence shouldn't be shitheads with it, this isn't hard.

With the blue checkmarks, it really fucking is. Those celebrities are just evil.

So you reply instead. Remember, kids! You must always tell people you think you're better than them by not actually showing so.

It's not my problem you don't like facts.

The facts are that the guy was politically motivated, he had right-wing imagery sticked onto his weapons, and he released a manifesto saying that this attack is in revenge against all of the white people Islam has hurt. And then you come in here screaming "But what about the Muslims who beat their wives?!" and "What about Antifa?!" and "Well why are you defending Muslims who ram into crowds?!"

Please.

If you're talking about PewDiePie, you're wrong and it's not his fault that one person out of tens of millions is a degenerate. If you're talking about various Newspaper writers (The word seems like a joke nowadays), then, yes. It really pisses me off that these people don't care about the affected and only want to push their agenda further.

I'm really surprised there are 4 people in custody though it doesn't necessarily mean all 4 were involved. I'd have thought this was more lone wolf style, I'd find it far more worrying if 4 people could coordinate an attack with IEDs and weapons and publish their intentions online and have gone unnoticed.

Yeah I would not be surprised if there's others out there who would definitely agree with what happened. There are some very xenophobic parts of New Zealand.

I hope you realize, by the way, that disobeying means beating them 99.999% of the time in these cases.

That's an assumption. And besides, what a Muslim says in Tunisia (93%) doesn't dictate what a Muslim says in Kosovo. (34%).

I linked one of those guys' twitters earlier.
There was no remorse, no real mourning for the victims. The first thing he did was stoke up the flames to call out PewdiePie as a "racist" and "white supremacist".

The shooting conducted was done alone. As for IEDs, I only saw three gas containers in his trunk, I don't know how much explosions he could get with those.

At this point, my indifference has become set in stone about such events.

Repeated exposure, it seems.

"What you said is not true" Gonna need a source. And no, they're not evil. Edgy and some blinded by hate and rage, but I've seen more true evil from the left. I'm also not your buddy so do not call me as such.

Oh my god, it is not an assumption. Wife beating is widespread among Muslim countries. Nobody who thinks their wife should listen to everything they say thinks hitting women is wrong. You have no idea how this works, do you. Of course not. And look at all of them. The majority of all them believe as such.
