+susieice Posted March 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I just saw this on breaking news. Not much being reported here at the moment. Just that there have been multiple deaths at a mosque. https://abcnews.go.com/International/multiple-dead-reported-shooting-attack-zealand-mosque/story?id=61699679&cid=social_fb_abcn&fbclid=IwAR2ewrUUl_RvyXbOFqFAZylwTn7F9oDfOyGXgcW1RgsD19gGBozBjgRZoUw 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted March 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) CNN is breaking now also. Isn't Kismet in that general area? Hope all is well with her. The city of Christchurch and the schools are on lock down as it's being reported here. https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/14/asia/christchurch-mosque-shooting-intl/index.html Edited March 15, 2019 by susieice 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitat Posted March 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2019 What a shocker. New Zealand is such a tolerant country, doesn't deserve this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kismit Posted March 15, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2019 So far 9 fatalities, 2 Mosques, 1 shooter arrested. And all schools and hospitals are on lock down. It is simply unbelievable. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitat Posted March 15, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Sounds like they suspect multiple shooters, which would be very different scenario to a lone lunatic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kismit Posted March 15, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2019 They are playing it safe, but it looks like their where two simultaneous incidents, which, if true, would suggest at least 2 shooters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post psyche101 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Popular Post #9 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I'm sorry to hear that terrorism has struck such a beautiful place. My thoughts are with the people of Christchurch. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+and-then Posted March 15, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 15, 2019 It sounds coordinated. Murdering unarmed people while they worship is as disgusting when Muslims are targeted as it is when the dead are of any other faith. The TV report I just saw said 9 dead between two mosques. One in custody but looking for more. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kismit Posted March 15, 2019 #12 Share Posted March 15, 2019 It’s actually looking more like a lone gun man. He live streamed the incident to Facebook. Apparently alongside some white genocide bull**** rambling. And then he killed kids. Scumbag. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earthquakes killed more, but that is much harder to accept. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted March 15, 2019 #17 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Fiji news is reporting 27 dead. I saw the video the shooter made as he drove to the mosque on Australian news. It showed his face and stopped as he approached the door. The SOB. He had weapons all over the passenger side floor as well as in the trunk with writing all over them. This link has a picture inside his car but not of him. I'd rather not. https://www.fbcnews.com.fj/news/mass-shooting-in-christchurch-new-zealand/ CNN is reporting 9 and that one of the persons in custody is believed to be an Australian national. https://www.cnn.com/asia/live-news/new-zealand-christchurch-shooting-intl/index.html Edited March 15, 2019 by susieice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted March 15, 2019 #23 Share Posted March 15, 2019 This is what talk about "we are war with Islam" leads to. Of regarding all "Mooslims" as one great mass of evil, just waiting to rape pretty white girls. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
