Yeah. I'll walk you through it so you don't have to go watch the video. He shoots the people at the door with a shotgun, discards it once it's empty and switches to a rifle and fires off a few shots and as he's moving towards the main room he glances down to his left as he's walking and looks right at an AR magazine that's an easy 15 feet away from the door where he entered and he has yet to eject anything from the rifle and you can see it when he's a solid 5 feet away from it so it didn't fall out of his vest either. It's even loaded because he runs to it, picks it up and uses it two minutes later.

Certainly strange and I can see why /pol/ is going nuts with it.


With some luck, we'll know more in some months when the trial finally takes place.


I'd be willing to bet he probably just dropped one and kicked it ahead of himself on accident but that one is going to fuel false flag theories for a long time.

My initial thought was that another shooter had already entered and dropped it, but given how small that place appears to be and how the people were acting when he first showed up, that can't be the case. Honestly, I really have no idea what to think on this one.


It's most likely that it fell off while he was spinning around in the doorway midway down the hall.

You can see early on in the video that the magazines aren't that secure to his person.


It's a possible explanation, but it still seems weird because he only twisted to fire into the room and this thing was at least 15 to 20 feet further down the hall.

In his 'manifesto' he mentioned Spyro 3 and Fortnite, it appears to me as highly sarcastically, as the video games that taught him extremism and violence.

It was only a few feet down the hall from the doorway he was turning in at the most.

It's not at all unlikely he didn't bother securing his stuff, since his flashlight falls off his rifle a few moments later, during the majority of the shooting.

Are you talking about when he drops the shotgun and that piece falls off, because that before? Anyway, I currently think WRA's theory is the most likely, just because I just don't see it launching that distance from him turning but a kick after its dropped could do it.

No, I'm talking about after, midway down the hall, when he turned to his right to shoot a man in the doorway before turning back. That's when I'm saying he dropped the mag.

Are you talking about during the initial entry period or when that dude rushes him?

Breivik's legacy. He was absolutely right when he said his actions and his manifesto would cause more like-minded people to conduct similar attacks. If I had to guess, this won't be the last time we hear of something like this.

Except you are not allowed to say that. You see, when christians attack innocents, it's merely an isolated incident. When muslims attack innocents, it's part of a global islamic conspiracy planned by all muslims worldwide... apparently. Governments around the world are ignoring the rise of fascism and violent christian fundamentalism, despite the rapid increase in politically motivated attacks. At some point it's going to blow on our faces.

This is something that hasn't happened in 34 years in New Zealand, so this is an outlier of an outlier statistically speaking. New Zealanders aren't like this for the most part.

Yes. I've read that the last mass shootings (?) in New Zealand before this one happened at 1990's, so this is actually kind of shocking.
