I'm pleasantly surprised by the lack of people defending this guy in the comments.

Most people are waiting to see who he actually is.
Wether he’s pro white or anti Muslims.
Ones racist the others is correct.

WTF are you on about?

[Saskovia]

The shooter apparently livestreamed his shooting, he covered his rifle in all sorts of anti-Muslim things and yelled "subscribe to pewdiepie" before opening fire.

So this idiot thought muslims were Indians and T-Series subscribers. F*cking joke, I am embarrassed of the people in my own city.

He’d be that sort of guy who tells Muslims, Indians and Chinese people to get the f*ck out of New Zealand. No matter who you are to be honest, you are allowed to stay as long as you don’t do anything suspicious.

His rifle was covered in anti-Muslim things and 8chan memes apparently. But yes, absolute scum.

Bomb in a car on Strickland Street in Christchurch

There is a bomb on Strickland Street in Christchurch, two police officers have confirmed to our reporter on the ground.

The bomb is located inside a beige Subaru that has crashed on Strickland Street, about three kilometres from the Al Noor Mosque where the shooting took place.

“You’re not safe here, there’s a bomb in that car,” a senior police officer told our reporter Eleanor Ainge Roy. She and the police have moved back several hundred metres, to stay at a safe difference.

This seems straight out of the Anders Breivik playbook.

And somehow I am even more disgusted with these shooters.

Can we not make this a flame war with pepole using this to justify whatever views they hold?

[Costa Fierro]

The reports of him shouting "subscribe to pewdiepie" are apparently unfounded.

A bomb? Well I think we can assume that this was planned which makes it even more disturbing.

He's been live streaming the stuff. A known fascist, been talking on 4 and 8 chan during the event. Guns were labelled with names of other mosque shooters.

You seem to know heaps of stuff. Do you live in Christchurch or just New Zealand?

I'm up in Nelson, the bush fire capital.

[Luziyca]

Here's hoping that the shooter(s) are all apprehended, and punished to the fullest extent of the law. As a Canadian, the most I can do is send condolences to the friends and families of the victims.

[Salus Maior]

Truly terrible.

Although, doesn't New Zealand have strict gun control laws so that this is supposed to be impossible?

No. New Zealand has pretty lax gun laws, it's never had any reason to change it because it's always had really low gun crime.

Like I said earlier, I don't think this will be a particularly NZ issue but part of a global phenomenon of internet circles of nationalism and hatred.

Adding to the shock is how rare events like this are in New Zealand.

New Zealand’s last mass shooting was the 1990 Aramoana massacre, in which 13 people were murdered as well as the killer David Gray.

The tragedy unfolded in the small seaside township of Aramoana, near Dunedin. Gray was armed with a scoped semi-automatic rifle and his victims included the first policeman to respond to the emergency - Sergeant Stewart Guthrie.

The incident sparked a lengthy public debate on gun control in NZ at the time.In 2016, a firearms expert warned NZ could be at risk of another Aramoana massacre.

Waikato University professor Alexander Gillespie told a parliamentary inquiry that 95 per cent of guns in NZ are untraceable because a lack of a central register.

“At the moment I have to register my car. I have to register my dog. But my neighbour doesn’t have to register his firearm,” Dr Gillespie said.

Indeed. Our last major change came after the Aramoana massacre in 1991.

Someone on reddit is saying they have on good authority that there are 15 dead, four shooters, one in custody, and one bomb.

Oh wow, this is an actual terrorist incident? Not just some lone wolf?

Definitely looking like that is the case.

[Scomagia]

Meh

"Look at me everybody, I care so little about mass murder that I have to show everybody how little I care!"

Truly heinous act.

Wonder, what fake news reports will come out of this though? I expect some will say it was a inside job or a Muslim shooter to deflect blame from the basement dwelling Neo-Nazis who did this.

Yes. Very much a planned attack against the mosque.
