Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

see guns are perfectly safe

Sister-in-law and stepdad both work in Aurora, thankfully both far enough away from this and are fine.

“Several people and employees were inside. However, nobody was hit by gunfire,” Buttle said.

just like an episode of the a-team

five dead in that Aurora shooting

not counting the shooter

christ

My school has an outpost in Aurora and many of our students are factory workers. I haven't heard anything from the school -- i hate to ask this but have the dead been named?

Victims named.

thank you. this is horrible.

Not a spree but...at my Alma mater today.

The "isolated incident" was a handgun suicide in the gym.

Don't even have the words :(

oh no

why

got to. this America, man.

Urban Brazil is pretty awful. Bolsonaro voters were voting for short sharp shocked treatment of gangs, more than they were to burn the Amazon rainforest down.

As to why, how better to get even with a business partner than kill his kid and all of his friends?

It doesn't particularly reflect the gun availability and mental health crisis in the United States, though.

There are updated reports naming the two gunmen in SP as ex-students, though obviously a lot still to be verified.

Confirmed as former students now. It looks a lot like the Crimea shooting last year.

I’ve got little hope that this will go the way of tobacco litigation in terms of regulatory control or chastening the manufacturers’ worst inclinations, but better than nothing I guess

Re Sao Paulo

The shooters used a .38 revolver, a crossbow, and a bow.

Multiple mosques attacked in Christchurch NZ.

more than one? all i can find is news about this one so far:

4channer

Here’s the manifesto.

The #Christchurch shooting was streamed on Facebook, with a manifesto posted on 8chan. This is truly the darkest timeline pic.twitter.com/MgPVXn8U5r

My best friend is in chch, currently in lock down at her job

All mosques in the country have been asked to go into lock down

Chch has a long history of white nationalist groups so it’s unsurprising that this kind of thing would happen there, over any other city in nz

3 men, 1 woman arrested

At least one bomb found within 3 km of one of the mosques

4 crime scenes under investigation

Fuck scott Morrison and his empty platitudes. The first terrorist they arrested after the shooting is a fucking Australian.

Fucking Twitter will no longer let me report tweets sharing the terrorist’s footage

I'm in Chch, currently in lockdown in a hospital building about 5 minutes from Hagley Park. Nothing really to add but might be able to answer questions if anyone has any.

40 people confirmed dead

Reports that the entire Bangladesh cricket team were at one of the mosques but got out safely.

This is all just horrific. I've had a sense, for a while, that the threat of far right terrorism just hasn't been taken as seriously by authorities. Time for that to change.

First time i can recall seeing so many official news places just come right out and say 'terrorist' and 'terror attack' instead of just 'gunman'.

horrific

Chch has a long history of white nationalist groups so it’s unsurprising that this kind of thing would happen there, over any other city in nz

I'm assuming this angle is going to be covered in the next few days, because it's not getting mentioned at the moment.

I’ll be interested to see if anything at all is mentioned about that - the shooter is Australian so I think that’s the angle the media will focus on. Australia is pretty fucking racist and their politicians have been stirring the pot with a lot of anti immigrant and anti refugee bullshit.

The south island of nz (where chch is located) is much much whiter than the north island.

49 dead now.

What a fucking nightmare. Fuck the terrorists, and fuck all those who abetted the hatred.

And a special fuck you to the French commenter in Le Monde who is 'mildly' disgusted to discover that there are mosques in a city called 'Christchurch' and who admits that he's struggling to find compassion in his heart, no matter how un-Christian that might be. Fuck the alt-right trolls who are actively minimizing this event, just like they did after the mosque shooting in Quebec city.

Right now I’m for rounding up alt-right fucksticks and sending them to re-education camps. We can start with your man from Le Monde there.

have youtube banned Tommy Robinson yet?

Devastating, but no one can claim to be surprised by this happening. My worry right now is that irresponsible reporting will direct people to the places this rhetoric is posted and also that there will be more copycat incidents like this soon. Just the most awful thing to wake up to.

49 people ffs and the sick bastards live-streamed it.

This might just be one of those social media stats but apparently there were 47 homicides in New Zealand over the whole of 2017?

Perhaps this might finally bring some reality to a debate that's been facile, reckless and entirely divorced from a lot of people's lived experience. But I wouldn't bet on it.

absolutely sick over this, just appalling

this has to be - must be - the turning point for reporting of far-right terror and the role places like 4chan, as well as the media itself, have played in radicalising people

there needs to be a ruthless crackdown on hate-preachers, even if they get driven to the dark net it will reduce their exposure. I couldn't gaf about spurious freedom of speech arguments at this point.

xp it won’t be. And there are plenty of people out there mainstreaming slightly toned down ideas of this in broadsheets that are responsible too. Plenty of them crying crocodile tears today.

Someone took a screenshot of the top comments on Fox News and posted it to reddit:

This is the reality.
