Has Katie Hopkins opened her trap yet? No doubt the vile hypocrite will either ignore it, justify it, or try to explain it...when it’s her kind who creates this.

So far the response from the usual suspects has been to not report this and give the shooter infamy and then blaming the media if they do so.

This is sickening but people need to realise it's happening.

fecking hell. What horrible news to wake up to. :(

Imagine being so fecked up in the head that you derive life meaning and direction from 4/8chan memes and propaganda. Imagine living to become a meme. Imagine that.

I hope they just burn the fecking cnut.
It's not as simple as 8chan, he just posted there for the infamy and attention. The propaganda is pure white nationalist, 14 words stuff, straight out of the likes of stormfront.

It's very evident that this person has been reported as a shooter rather than a terrorist. Atleast this was the case early now. Not sure if they've amended it.

Please stop creating more animosity by posting stuff like this. Atleast wait and see before making such claims. This happened during night time in Europe for example.

Rest in peace to the victims. Just days after the 30th anniversary of the WWW, we see an example of maybe the worst part that has come from it.
How is stating a fact create animosity ? It's not something I made up . Donald Trump was busy prompting a Hate group on his Twitter exactly the same time this incident was happening . I appreciated the Australian Prime Minister for his strong statement .

Hasn’t the NZ PM described the attack as terrorism? Irrespective of what the media is reporting it as, a spade is a spade. If this were Muslims attacking a church I don’t think there’d be any hesitation in calling the attack terrorism.

The Australian PM was the first to call him a right-wing terrorist extremist. The terrorist is an australian-born citizen.

Yeah she has which is really good of her as the media has to refer to it as a 'terrorist attack' least when quoting her.

What do you mean? Can’t see how what you’ve linked is related to this incident?
There's a forum called 8chan which was a breakaway forum of 4chan(i think you'd have heard of 4chan). This 8chan was created by the former members of the 4chan forum because they were angry that 4chan had banned child porn. Google has delisted 8chan due to child porn.

This terrorist posted on 8chan before the attacks and posted his Facebook link for livestream.

THQNordic(before today's incident) held an AMA at 8chan basically giving it legitimacy.

You really don't see it? You are looking to create issues before they even appear. And on top of that portray as some sort of fact. What do you base that on? Have you compared the response time from previous terrorist attacks? And why use Donald Trump as some sort of evidence to back your "facts"? It's not like we don't know what he's like already.

The condemning and condolences from world leaders will come throughout the day. Bear in mind this happened during night time for Europe.

I appreciate the strong speech from the NZ PM today despite her not calling it a terrorist attack straight away.

This is incredibly sad. I'm sorry for all the innocent people and their loved ones who have lost their lives today because of this despicable act. I'm also sorry for all the muslims in the world who are feeling unsafe and targeted for things completely out of their control.

They held a Q&A a few weeks ago on the same messageboard this freak posted he was going to attack this mosque. He was cracking jokes with these people. This forum is widely known to be white supremacist forum and they have child porn links. Basically everything deplorable you’d find it there. The people on 4chan are bad but even they were astounded by these people.

Anger overrides sadness these days which is so so wrong. My head says I should be focusing my energy on the victims but I can’t help but spend my time thinking about these fascist wankers and the fear and hatred they curse this world with.

RIP to all the victims, I know New Zealand has a great community spirit so I hope they put an arm around the community that was victim here.

The fecking scum was an 8chan regular.
Is there any legal issue for the government if they try to ban/close 8chan or other similar sites that condone this kind of act? If they know that a certain internet forum is full of people with high potential threat they should be able to do something right?

They should monitor shit holes like it. Shutting one down won't make a dent when everyone will flock to a new place.

It's cowardly in the extreme - but then, terrorists are always cowardly. Honestly, the internet is both a wonderful thing and a terrible thing - it allows these wicked people to easily talk to other people with the same twisted views.

May all the innocent victims rest in peace and hopefully these terrorists never see the light of day again.

the shooter mentioned candace in what was very obviously an attempt to throw her under the bus, without sincerity, and this fecking cretin actually manages to make it worse for herself

Who the hell starts and ends a tweet with “LOL” at a time like this.

On one of the guns in the boot of the car you can see some writing scribbled in white. One if it’s says Бој на Иванковцу, in cyrillic, referring to the Battle of Ivankovac in 1805 where Serbian revolutionaries fought against the Ottoman Turks.

Another one mentions the name Konstantin II Asen. Medieval Bulgarian leader who fought against the Ottomans.
All of the guns seemed to have writing on them.

Shitheads keep posting the video on Twitter. Comes up with innocuous searches like “New Zealand”. Sickening as hell.

An Australian Senator is basically sympathizing with the terrorist attacker. He's going on twitter claiming the reason for bloodshed in NZ is down to muslims being allowed to immigrate to the country and that AUS/NZ societies are scared of muslims coming in, hence the attacks today.

My country is a disgrace.

RIP to all the lives lost.

My condolences to all the victims and New Zealanders where unwarranted hate and violence have taken their peace. A sickening act of violence.

I pray all the victims are in a better place and God gives those affected lots of patience.

Sad truth we have to understand that these scums of human being exists, and as much as the west paints their ideology in equality and all the pc crap, a big number of the actual people in the west dont share the same ideology.

They're forced to abide by the perceived acceptable norms all this time.

And yes, just as your question : how the hell did he get elected? Well unless the votes are rigged he represents people with the same line of thoughts as him. Just like trump reflects a big portion of the usa ugly true faces. How big? I dont know. But definitely those racists and haters are well and alive and actually bigger in number.

I really thought that NZ was one of the safest country in the world when it came to any potential terrorist attacks. People are so worried about Muslims in western societies getting radicalised but white young men/women being are much bigger threat now given what happened in Norway few years ago and now in NZ. Return of right wing movements all across the world is going to lead to something more catastrophic soon enough.
