IS-inspired attacker shot dead after New Zealand supermarket knife rampage

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Most the people who work in Big Tech come from liberal schools. Extremely liberal is what a normal world looks like to them. Therefore they write all their tools to ensure political discourse to encourage an outcome to agree with those views. The correct activist journalists are encouraged to ensure their views become reality for everyone.

And of course to look for Nazi’s under the bed.
It helps when every vector of power supports your worldview. And all your enemies are "Nazis".

You get a bit sensitive about these things, D
when one of them, or one very close to them, comes to your homeland and shoots 51 people dead in the name of White Far Right.
Sorry if i slipped with my precise definition.
I used Nazi as a meme. To make it clear - i don't think most of the Far Right Terrrorists are Nazi's, in the strict sense of the term.

But Far Right terrorism certainly has, by far, the worst track record in my homeland. All your security chief's seem similarly worried these days.

I am sorry so many americans, good people, have lost faith in some of the key cornerstones of your nation. including the electoral process, the legitimacy of your government, half your own population, and your security services. Sincerely! God bless your country.

We haven't. None of it.
Thank God we are not tearing ourselves apart, arming ourselves with M15s and hateful memes - and making zero effort to reconcile.
Thank God our PM has the guts and humanity to wear a burka.
Thank God we don't call an M15 the highest expression of our democracy, as your Far Right seem to.

Sensitive, cautious-sure. I see the US going in a rather direction when it demonizes 20-30% of its population. Warnings about "extremism" popping up on TV and social media don't help.

This has already gone far beyond any level of absurdity. Big tech should never have been allowed to reach this level of control to begin with.

Say what you want about Trump, but a private company silenced a sitting prez.

The Soviets had a state-run media, the US has a media-run state.

Meanwhile, back in...

NEW ZEALAND| Auckland mall terrorist attack:
Surgeons recover knife tip from stabbing victim

Surgeons operating on one of the victims stabbed in Friday's supermarket terror attack found and removed the tip of the knife used by the offender.

(far out, imagine having that on a chain around your neck. it would almost be worth the ventilation experience)

Three of the victims are still in a critical but now stable condition and a source says they are all expected to survive.

Score/body count
Attacker 0
Shoppers 1
So, we can take it that God/Allah was not - in fact - on his side after all.

Speedy recovery, Shoppers. You are going to dine out on this one for years
