TOPIC:

Some will have degrees of feelings for this given some of the commentary going around but for me it is terrorism nothing less.

Those killed were going abt their business in their place of worship and have been murdered for following their faith.

I am saddened by it and even more saddened that an Australian is involved.

I don't have a god, don't see the need but if you do then that is your choice and you do not deserve to be ridiculed, berated and never killed for following it!

It is sad that a few can be so twisted to think that acts like this are a way to fight for change or acceptance!

When is this hate and madness going to end? Innocent people slaughtered for no reason by a group of terrorists.

Well said Grump. Didn’t these pricks realise that they’re doing just what our boys were fighting over seas against? For God’s sake, as mike said, when is this madness going to end?

double up

So this guy lives and works in Grafton NSW? He could so easily have done this in the western suburbs of Sydney. Wonder why he chose to inflict this sickening madness in Christchurch NZ? Was it because he could get such an arsenal of weapons over there and not here? We don't want this sort of shit going on in our world, it is unnecessary and uncalled for no matter who the attack is carried out against. Just appalling. This type of thing can happen anywhere.

Let's hope there is no retaliation or copycat attacks.

I walk the family golden retriever around Hagley Park and pass this mosque most days....very sad day indeed, lots of stories of folk trying to help others and stop this idiot......earthquakes are one thing....this sort of thing is on another level altogether sadly....

Yes very terrible event.

Unfortunately it was only a matter of time before some lunatic launched a "reprisal" attack , he was inspired by all the Islamic terror events to strike back.

Wont be long before another church is attacked as revenge in Pakistan. Africa. Egypt. or maybe even here. They don't seem to get as much publicity for some reason.

Would of picked NZ because of piss weak gun laws and pretty sleepy hollow place security wise.

Reprisal, REPRISAL - are you a fully paid member of the Anning fan club or what!

Sometimes it does amaze me that folk have sense of tact or understanding of the WHOLE picture.

That's what the killers aim was you goose, that's why I put it in "brackets". Doesn't mean I agree with it. Talk about lack of understanding!

A lot of xenophobia on this site
