Yeah he had a stack of assault rifles. Where do you get things like that in New Zealand?

Allowing themselves to be captured? A new twist?

A terrible, terrible business. I do wish the broadcast media would stop asking people to improvise and speculate in the absence of detail. It's not like we don't know what this is all about - and the facts will emerge in due course.

What shits me are the same few clips on endless repeat while the presenters prattle on.

Gun laws in New Zealand are quite lax, at least in comparison to Australia's. Semi-automatics can be legally owned by anyone who has no criminal record, and there is no registry by which their ownership can be tracked. I bet this will change before the year is out, but since nobody knows how many assault style arms there are, where they are and who owns them, there'll be an uphill battle to get them out of circulation.

You should just ignore this sort of shit. It just gives it credibility if people discuss it seriously and the vast majority of people know it is garbage - if they know it exists at all.

President Scumbag strikes again.

President Donald Trump expressed his “warmest sympathy and best wishes” to New Zealand. But the tweet came hours after he had posted a link to the far-right news site Breitbart about the attacks with a live blog. That tweet now appears to have been deleted.

Minutes after he expressed his condolences, Trump returned to attacking Democrats by repeating his claim that the party did not respect Jewish people.

He should've been told to stay silent. It's one of his people did this.

Anning and people like him need to be starved of the OUTRAGED oxygen of publicity - and possibly regular oxygen too.
