    Live streaming to social media?  
    It was one of the terrorists that was live streaming while he was killing people. Sick.
    There’s a problem with the platforms. There should be a time delay. Maybe 24 hours. But you know, what good is 24 hour delayed gratification? The super bowl does it. Think about it for a minute. Live streaming of “whatever.” Why? Are we so self absorbed and shallow that “we” need to “live stream?” Just asking questions.

    more importantly, why the hate?
    If I had the answers to those questions, I would be healing the world.  

    I have to say that the PM of New Zealand is such a passionate advocate for all NZ'ers, especially refugees and her stern condemnation of the violence, the intolerance and how this is the opposite of who they are.  She is angry and calling out extremism, regardless of where it comes from. She says they were chosen because they are not a country of extremists and how she will not let this change who they are.  She's talking right now. 


    40 people killed in terror attack.  Jesus, why?
    And she cried and showed her humanity. Apparently, too much to expect or assume from our Dear Leader. Anyone remember April 4th?

    It's an absolute headfuck to be here. It's a small place population wise-I've sadly had to enquire about the safety of loved ones in other bigger places but here, well there was just that wonderfully naive view that nothing like this would happen here. Instead I was anxiously awaiting news from family in schools and workplaces who couldn't get out.

    One of the supposedly nice things about taking my German fianceé here was that we wouldn't have to worry about this shit. I feel horrible to be this wrong. 

    I'm so sorry you are going through such senseless violence and tragedy. 

    I hope all of your loved ones are okay and I hope that you are able to be okay with time. 

    I am thinking of all of you and sending hugs from the other side of the world. Stay safe.

    Yes, yes it is. And sad. And depressing. And a shame. And an anger inducing fuck you to those who are responsible,you know who you are, wink wink nod nod. Fucking disgrace.

    This is so bizarre/surreal. I’m an American and I’m currently in my 3rd out of 7 weeks student teaching abroad in Auckland, NZ. It feels like this shit is following me. It is heartbreaking to see how shook the people here are from this. Don’t get me wrong, 49 dead is massive even by US standards but we’ve become so numb to it compared to what I’m seeing here. 

    The school I’m at here in NZ is so free and open, there’s huge windows and the kids get to run around everywhere, so much different from what I see in the States. It would be a real shame if this whole culture would have to change because of these fucking scum bags.

    What a shame that such a wonderful opportunity for you, teaching in NZ, has been marred by this experience. Let’s just hope that this ends up being an isolated act by a loser whose name is not worth remembering, and that the lovely, open NZ culture goes on.

    How long before Team Trump Treason releases some lame ass tweet about prayers for the victims and how he’s thinking about some arcane thought that has nothing to do with anything other than himself?
    Really?  The first thing you think is Trump?

    Terrible terrible tragedy.  Were the shooters from New Zealand and how were they caught so quickly?

    The main shooter was a 28 yr old Australian who believed in the "great replacement " conspiracy theory. 
    He was also anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant,  etc etc

    A real piece of shite

    I understand hate. Mostly like you say. I will never understand this level of hate. And hating people you don’t even know to the point you can do something like this? Hard to comprehend.

    I thought the same thing. Really Halifax, this isn't healthy. You're obsessed with this guy. I understand he's the most famous, powerful, and to a degree, interesting person in the world and he's a topic of conversation for everyone. And that's why there's multiple topics about him on this board and I too participate in them. But if he's the first person you think of when 49 people get murdered in New Zealand, you have a problem. I've laughed at the conservative talking heads that suggest there is such thing as "Trump Derangement Syndrome," but if there is such a thing, you have a bad, bad case of it.

    It’s interesting to me that posters seem to know what the first thing I think is but more so that they criticize a keyboard warrior rather than expecting more from the person who used to be “the leader of the free world.” The POTUS’ first tweet, from what I can tell, was a link to Breitbart, the same hatefilled propaganda site that he gloated about his police, military and biker gang supporters to. Sorry, you or anyone else don’t know what I think or felt upon hearing the news in Christ Church, but you should know that I expect so fucking much more from the POTUS. Maybe the NRA can open a branch? Anyone remember San Ysidro?
