Ho hum.

The tweet has since been removed from the article bfj posted where a reporter posted that there were reports that the shooter was "middle eastern."

Predictable in so many ways. The gunman has been identified as Ian David Long. Doesn't sound very "middle eastern."

It just means he’s from Virginia.

We'll see. Hopefully the tide changes, but I'm not that hopeful.

A close childhood friend's father wrote a great post on FB. He was an ER doctor for most of his medical career. Basically, fuck you, this is my lane. I tried to save numerous victims of gunshot wounds, and walk out and explain to their families why I couldn't save them. Seriously, fuck the NRA.

This dude is great:

Mass shooting at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.

This is horrible.

Forty confirmed dead. Horrible.

Horrifying

It probably goes without saying, but since 9/11 what is the tally for atrocities committed in the West by Muslims vs. Atrocities committed by White Christians? I'd imagine it's not even close.

ETA: while reading about the condemnation of the attack by world leaders I wondered whether Trump had said anything. All he had on his twitter feed was this (that had the story as one of its front page pieces.):



Here's the front page. My head may explode - note the poll question on the right.

Wow

Holy fucking shit. That's a real letter? It basically condones the atrocity. That's fucking nuts.

Fraser Anning is Australian.

ETA - and an asshole.

I thought there was a conspiracy theory that a lot of rich people are setting up dual-citizenship or something in case the US collapses.

So it would appear that Donald Trump was a source of inspiration to a man on the other side of the planet to become a mass murderer of Muslims celebrating their faith in prayer.

Conversations I never thought I would have: Telling my daughters to be careful on social media so they don't mistakenly see the video of a guy committing mass murder.

And pretty amazing to see all the usual suspects (Candace Owens...who was named in the manifesto, Ben Shapiro, Trump Jr et al) saying this morning "Don't publicize this guy!", when you know damn well that if this had been a Muslim doing the shooting they would be shouting it from the rooftops.

It's more "Don't publicize anything about the shooter because it will make me look bad."

Don't worry....Rush Limbaugh has it all figured out...

And to think that Wanda Sykes was raked over the coals when she said "You hope America fails? [Because Obama was president at the time] Well, I hope your kidneys fail!" when she told off this land whale.

The fact that Limbaugh has the PResident's ear does not reflect well on the country.

That sort of demagogue used to be shunned and ridiculed. The type of mouth breathing imbecile you;'d catch snippets of on the upper end of the AM dial if you were driving in the country late at night.

The world is so fucked up.

Hey...that hand signal doesn't mean anything at all, right?

If I get suddenly popped by an egg I'm going to turn around and throw hands too.

I am not

Even better...

This guy has been tweeting out pictures of all of the Christchurch shooting victims. Its heartbreaking...

I bet I’d aggressively turn around say “whoa, what was that?”

The Process worked:

I've been amazed at seeing the Haka performed in honor of the victims...



There's a bunch more online....
