I Want To Talk About Community

@YMITheWayIM Very valid point. It's this effing media that's creating fear and dividing people.

@SW-User Innocent lives gone and families ruined just to make a statement.

@YMITheWayIM Yup, nutjobs don't follow no logic.

No. So far she quoted “that is an extraordinary unprecedented act of violence”@Longpatrol

She’s a new PM maybe she’s needs to wait for public pressure@SW-User

She looked quite shocked on her speech, but who wouldnt be shocked, that anything like this could happen in NZ. But god to show anything like this can happen anywhere.@Longpatrol

@newjaninev2I'm glad. My In laws live both in North and South Island. They are all over the place. I called them, they are all good.

But still normal street cop do not carry gun
In oz all carry guns

@1234cardiff Yes indeed. Most offenders here who come up against the police are more likely to get a stern talking to than a bullet.

@Crusher69 Certainly came from nowhere really. New Zealand not known for an extremist past.
But then it was an Australian who was the main perpetrator.
So many killed by deranged people.
How can they possibly think that mass murder will change anything?
All it does is make for a lot of extremely sad families.
Okay, an element of fear will be instilled in the general population but that alone never stops society from getting on with the day to day stuff.

Very true- although very sad, it brings us all closer together. There has been some heroic acts from a number of people and outpouring of help and support....

@Crusher69 Very true. This act of terrorism just tells me that those who did it completely fail to understand Kiwi society

@Dewms That is most unusual. Someone may be sacked for that.
Not what should be screened live into homes

@Crusher69 Most likely will keep rising with so many injured

@newjaninev2 I agree - so sick and it is so sad. But there has been some very heroic acts during the day to save people...and outpouring of love and care

@Crusher69 It was interesting to watch Jacinda... exhausted, sad, and very deeply angry.
Like all of us Kiwi, I suppose

@newjaninev2 yes - she looked very stunned
