They fucking live streamed it on Facebook. What has this world come to?!

[Balinkay]

Fucking hell.

[CCTV]

Not seen it, didn't know what you were talking about, grim, brutal and calculated.

[ianlfc]

Has anyone else seen the live stream video ? Fucking unreal. It really is real life Call of duty.
That's the world we live in folks.

A lad at work had it on today, I couldnt watch it, some of them gathered round and watched like it was fuck all. Fucking horrific. What drives people to do this?
I genuinley sometimes hate the fact Ive brought children into this fucking horrible world where there are people who want to kill and hurt others.

Its scary with kids.
Murder and the rest of it, have become so common place relatively, even excluding these particular types of crimes.

How did police arrest the gunman?

Dont know, but at a guess he probably surrendered so he could get the media coverage and pr.

[stevie harkness]

Yes I suppose so, like the Norwegian shooting a few years ago.

[Balinkay]

How did police arrest the gunman?

I think I saw some photos pf a car chase.

I think I saw some photos pf a car chase.

That sounds way too exciting for the news to ignore, surely they would have mentioned that.

Just thought it was strange the news didn't mention his capture. In the USA he'd have been shot dead.

Two rural police officers, one of them armed only with a handgun, chased and arrested Brenton Tarrant. (BBC)

2015 Paris attacks, premier league minute silence before kick off, 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks... Nothing. Oh dear.

This happens all the time though it's a proximity issue isn't it ?

[CCTV]

Read theres been another fatality as one of the survivors has lost their battle to survive, bringing the toll to 50.

[stevie harkness]

Maybe... but not geographical proximity (the rugby family made the effort for their kiwi cousins) unfortunately it's being interpreted as muslim lives don't matter. Fair play to the New Zealanders for their show of community though

[Balinkay]

This happens all the time though it's a proximity issue isn't it ?

That's how I see it.

[stevie harkness]

The FA have now announced that, despite the obvious proximity issues, tributes will be paid to victims of the Christchurch shootings before England v Czech at Wembley on 22nd March

all monsters are human

[stevie harkness]

all monsters are human

Maybe... but most people prefer to separate and brand them "monsters" in order to remove ourselves from the sticky mess and see them as "other", seeking comfort in the belief that we're not like them. That way we don't need to take responsibility or look at our own failings.

Some animals are monsters too

It's absolutely ridiculous, I have faith, I've had friends of numerous different faiths and met people of numerous different faiths and people of genuine faith are all really good decent people.

I don't distinguish between faiths, I believe in God, but that there is only one, I believe in the prophets of the numerous different faiths, but believe there have been numerous prophets over time, and it's not a case of any one faiths beliefs being right or wrong, it makes perfect sense that prophets who arrived at different times in different cultures would give a message that would be embraced and accepted most readily by that culture, so fanatics arguing over which religion is right or wrong or which prophet came first is really a complete nonsense.

For centuries different cultures worshiped different things, the moon, the stars, the sun, the sea, my belief is that there's just one God who is worshiped by different cultures and different religions as a result of different prophets at different times, how they choose to do that is entirely up to them and they should afford everyone else the same courtesy
