Active shooter in NZ

[Brian37]

You are both missing my point.

1. He was disturbed. Mentally healthy people do not go on killing sprees. They don't join Isis either.

This doesnt even have to be about religion.

Say a guy suffers from depression, cant keep a job, gets fired, next day goes in with a firearm and murders several co workers. He is mentally ill, not crazy, but quite sane suffering from depression. Also say for example, If someone was abused as a kid, they can grow up quite sane but suffer the mental affects of the abuse growing up, and end up being violent themselves. In both of those cases you can have  a very sane person, who knows what they are doing is wrong, but at the same time be quite disturbed. Not all mental illness means you cant tell right from wrong. 

The guy planned months in advance, so he knew what he was doing was wrong, and he was a terrorist. But something disturbed him enough to lead him down that path.

But there is a reason regardless we don't hear about mass shootings that much in Australia or NZ, unlike America their populations have a very healthy attitude about firearms and keeping them out of the wrong hands. So things like this are very rare over there.

I am very worried right now about some of our Christian right wingers killing Muslims here in America because of this. I am also worried that maybe a Muslim here might want to retaliate. But one lady official in NZ did the right thing right off the bat. She said the Muslims who came there were just coming for a better life, and and were welcome there and were part of the nation. She also said about the terrorist, he  was not one of them(meaning part of the nation's ideals) nor was his kind of hate and violence welcome there.

Sad though, been watching the news all morning, has anyone seen a tweet or public statement from Trump condemning this? I haven't seen any statement coming from him as of yet. Not that he'd mean it. Any other president prior would be quick to condemn it, and certainly wouldn't have spent years vilifying an entire religion. This Christian terrorist I do believe had quoted Trump.

1.  How do you know he planned it for months?

2.  We call that 'lady official' the prime minister.

3.  Yes, Trump has tweeted 'warmest sympathy' and offered 'best wishes', whatever the fuck THAT means.

Boru

1. That is what I am hearing on cable news. The guy also had a long rambling manifesto. And the sicko had a body came and went live on social media while doing it. That takes planning. 

2. Ok, I didn't catch that part while watching the news. 

3. I knew Trump would be half assed about it. And only in a tweet so far. Obama, Bush Jr, Clinton, and Bush Sr all would have been on camera by now condemning it on the global and national stage. Trump wont strongly condemn this without some bullshit qualifier so he can keep his bigoted base. Just like he did with Charlottesville.
