OT: Unbelievable

AotearoaAotearoa Posts: 1,490 ✭✭✭✭✭

Finished up a fantastic overnight tramp up in the mountains to the west of Christchurch. My buddy and I were happily recounting the trip as we headed back to town when, as we hit cell coverage, both of our phones exploded with pent up text alerts. 49 killed. No way, this is New Zealand. Yes way. Frantic spouses. Shaken up kids (in lock down at school until after 6pm). Inconsequential, of course, compared to the loss of life. Not coin-related. Life-related.

Smitten with DBLCs.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Sad times we are living in, with such unbridled hatred. The world seems to need a special, full-time force whose sole job is to search out & neutralize dark-web anarchists & haters.......... So many "not on the radar" before they act, but afterwards troves of info found right under our collective noses....

    Senseless act carried out by a deranged idiot/coward.

    There are bad/evil/crazy people everywhere. Always have been and likely always will be.

    A prayer for those whose lives were lost and their loved ones.

    Very sad and tragic. Senseless and evil incarnate. Our sympathies and condolences to New Zealand. Cheers, RickO

    Saw the original 17-minute video at work and it is astonishing the pure evil and nonchalant attitude of the shooter. Horrifying really.

    I must say that blew my mind. It is hard to believe what this world is coming to. I really feel for my kids at what life may look like in the future. The worst part is crap is happening much faster than I would have thought, even 10 years ago. :'(
    I saw what is happening today 42 years ago when taking a class in elementary school which projected the population growth of the world. I was like...this world can not support that many people.

    The world has always been full of evil people.

    No race, religious group, or economic circumstance has mattered.

    Weapons have improved and social media makes it more shocking.

    Prayers for New Zealand!
