Some have commented that his gun handling and approach didn't reflect proper military training. i.e. he was doing things that could have got him killed if he was in a real gun fight and not re-enacting the "No Russian" level from Modern Warfare 2.

Lets not forget the sheer adrenalin that would be pumping through him. For me one of the the most gruesome parts is how calm, steady and methodical he was.

There's no particular need for that right now, she's just getting information out to the people. They'll probably label it properly once the situation is fully under control.

Had a brief look at his supposed “manifesto”. 100% terrorist attack. The guy is a complete nut job and I’m glad he was caught. Let him rot.
This is really too close to home.

Not about sugar coating, about sensitivity of timing and potential vigilantism.

Many politicians and media are calling it a terrorist attack, including the PM, so we can stop peddling this fantasy that there is a double standard about naming it such.

They are now reporting that 40 people have been killed, that's a hefty death toll even by US mass shooting standards.

This was not done in my name
This is a terrorist attack .
This is a terrorist attack .
Of course it is. The guy wrote a manifesto and has, reportedly, coordinated with others. Absolute textbook definition I'd have thought.

Just so numb right now. Absolutely tragic. Thoughts with everyone involved. A sad day for New Zealand and especially Christchurch who have suffered so many heartbreaks in the last few years.

He spent his life on the internet, to the extend that he put a meme in his pdf (which isn't even half-grammatically correct...), meme music playing in the car, and screaming memes before he went out.
This just boils down to uhh hate muslims, uh yeah, get rid of em. It's not even researched or intelligent hate.
Freedom fighters, people who want change and care for their cause don't say 'subscribe to pewdiepie' before their statement. People over 15 shouldn't say 'subscribe to pewdiepie.'
It's a bit like the lost young first generation kids who go to try and join ISIS. Are they actually purely hateful of the west and white? Do they truly want to die for their religion? I think more than anything they're incredibly lost souls. They're from crappy suburbs, poorly educated, and most likely have crappy jobs. They're jealous and lost. They take these 'causes' up because it gives them an identity and it gives them something to believe in.
The whole livestreaming thing is pretty crazy though. What a world. Even 15, 20 years ago this would have been considered some sort of dystopian futuristic thing that'd seem scary. It's a shock but no surprise.

All mass murders are hate crimes. Its a redundant word.

I would expect this to rise given a lot where taken to hospital in critical condition.
A hate crime is a crime that targets a person or people because of their race, nationality, religion, culture, etc. Someone who goes on an indiscriminate killing spree in the street is not committing a hate crime as we understand the term to mean.
These perpetrators are committing a hate crime because their actions were motivated by hate of a religion and they specifically targeted adherents of that religion.

Irrelevant, they perpetuate and normalise attitudes and ideas that these terrorists used to justify their actions.

The death toll has risen to 49 now and I wouldn't be surprised if it rises even further.

But Trump will announce thoughts and Prayers soon and god knows use it as a reason for his Veto regarding a National Emergency.
My Fear now is will this Inspire more copy cat act's.
