Christchurch shootings: 49 dead in New Zealand mosque attacks http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-47578798

Devastating and appalling. Terror attacks are always despicable acts of violence, but the way this was conducted... lost for words.

If we have any kiwis here on tattle, my thoughts are with you. They are also with the victims families, and the emergency workers.

My thoughts go out to any Kiwi tattlers.

I'm surprised they're actually referring to it as a terrorist attack. Usually when the shooter is white, there's a bunch of articles about how he had a mental illness as if that somehow makes it not his fault. :rolleyes: I'm glad they're actually referring to it for what it is for once.

Apparently he was a personal trainer and really into the gym. Does anyone else think these guys that take all these supplements and a ridiculously high meat diet get fueled with aggression? I speak from people I know IRL.

It could be a combination of things, but I think they all interlinked.

If he gymed alot he could have self image issues etc that perpetuate hate. Everyone is different though.

Nothing excuses this though. Just, it was so calculated. The live stream, the weapons covered in text. I can't imagine what was going through his head. Sometimes I feel sorry for people who commit such horrific crimes because they must be suffering mentally, but then I remember what they have done and just think no. Fuck no. There are so many people on this beautiful planet who suffer who don't do this.

These type of people are monsters.

I know a few were ‘called out’ on not having said anything, no acknowledgement. Dina Tokio, Nilly Dahlia, Shamsa, Brummymummyof2 are the ones I follow who did comment. A definitely large number of the CM vloggers were silent. Mrs Meldrum,who posted about the Paris attack, had no mention of the Christchurch atrocity.
All these mothers who ignored the Killing of a 3 year old. I have cried repeatedly since learning about this tragedy in New Zealand, as a mother I can not help but compare/think of my own 3 year old.
All I have on repeat in my head is how sorry I am that this beautiful little boy will never grow up.

So sad. What has really shocked, horrified and disgusted me is the deafening silence of the Instamums on this. The ones whose heart was hurting for Manchester, Paris etc etc. Is this because they are Muslim therefore 'deserve' it? Mother Pukka to be fair did a post but disabled comments because she did not want any debate. Was she expecting 'they deserved it' comments? I honestly feel a bit lost on this matter. What other instas mentioned it?

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE?

I mean, they're both white, but oh yes, one is a Muslim...so no toddler photo to humanize her.

Both terrorists in my eyes.

I was out yesterday and I heard some teenage girls say “Well, I guess it’s the same as a terrorist attack even though he’s white.” So much more education needed in that respect.

I cannot wrap my head around how someone could pervert their beliefs so much that they can murder people.

I'm really struggling with this affair.
I can't process how someone could do that to because they have different beliefs.
The innocent lives all gone. They went to pray in a place which they thought was safe. but, instead their deaths were streamed LIVE.

Have you read his manifesto?!

You’re reaching in my opinion, they’ve pictured her cradling a baby?

I completely agree with you. People will argue the same tragedies have happened 'the other way around' which is true but this tit-for-tat will never end. I'm very worried about revenge attacks now across the world...

I read the manifesto.

'interesting' reading.

In a weird way it is sad. Because he clearly had a passion.... Just for a terrible thing. If he put as much effort into doing things for good causes he would have been considered a pilar of a community. Instead he decided to waste it on... I don't know what.

Don't take any of that for me being sorry for who he has become, more so sorry for what he could have become.

So true, can't help thinking this applies to Anders Breivik too- I still shudder at how smug and proud he looked:(
