Yeah. I hate to say it but Run, Hide, Fight videos/training and Stop the Bleed courses need to be taught to everyone nowadays just like basic CPR/first aid is offered in high school and college. Even given how rare these attacks are (whether they're mass shootings, and/or bombings, and/or terror attacks), it gives people way more of a chance than they would have without the training.

Hey dude maybe you could wait until the bodies are cold before giving your two cents on what a country where a single shooting is headline news should be doing? Maybe you could not sneer at people frozen in terror? Actually nah just gently caress off

I’m reading the one guys Manifesto, and it’s definitely the work of a mentally ill far right nut job. It’s not worth posting a link to because it’s really more a screed than a manifesto. I think we’re at a point where Ya’llqaeda needs as much scrutiny and action as say... Radicalized Islam. NZ is a five eyes country and we can probably help with rooting out these fucks from their holes before they shoot up a mosque, or a school, or a concert or whatever.

redneck nazgul posted:We're years past that point. This is a huge problem, and has been for years and it wasn't just a problem starting in the Trump administration. Even during the Obama administration, when right wing and white supremacist hate groups surged in membership and numbers, the focus of FBI and Homeland Security was largely on violent Islamic extremism and home grown terrorists inspired by Islamic extremists. I think (and I could very well be wrong here) part of it was a concern that if they went too hard against right wing extremists, they could potentially create another situation like Ruby Ridge, or Waco, that would only further grow those types of groups, and spark regulatory attacks. I think another part of it was that the Obama administration greatly feared a terrorist attack occurring, particularly because he was always criticized for being a secret Muslim Kenyan who was soft on terrorists, even though he greatly expanded drone strikes, and greatly expanded the use of JSOC all over the world in the fight against Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist groups. And even though his decisions arguably increased national security rather than hosed it up for decades like Bush did. Now that Trump is in charge, we are going to be looking into right wing extremist groups even less. Worse, the dog whistles have turned into fog horns that sound like the Inception music, and this orange buffoon actively courts them. It's a really funked up situation, and I really wish I knew what was going on in the FBI with the fight against right wing hate groups. Their attacks are only increasing in severity. And they are rising as a threat, globally. Bored As Fuck fucked around with this message at 07:16 on Mar 15, 2019 |

This cat posted on pol, his manifesto and social media are full of the usual alt-right talking points, memes, and propaganda. While he streamed himself murdering people he even told people to subscribe to Pewdiepie. Just the natural end point of the alt-right indoctrination pipeline. "Globlism! Soros! White Genocide! Immigration is a Jewish plot to replace white people! Fight back!" Spout enough hate and calls to violence day in day out, and no matter how much they play coy and cry "freeze peach! so much for the tolerent left" eventually the propaganda is going to do its job and someone is going to act on it. Tolerating nazis now because of the idiotic idea that tolerance has to extend to intolerance doesn't work any better now than appeasing them did in the '40s. If you'd told me yesterday that this was going to happen, the only thing I would've had any problem believing was the where. The who, the what, the why, and the how are a lovely song stuck on repeat.

Yeah. This poo poo is only going to continue unless the governments around the world start treating white supremacist hate groups as the dangerous terrorist groups they are. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...cFMCwcl&cf=1 Up to 49 dead total, at least 20 more seriously wounded.

This is usually about the time when Trump is up and tweeting about Fox and Friends; instead, the only thing he’s tweeted was a link to loving Breitbart. You would have figured some aid would have woken him up, jammed his phone into his tiny hands and told him to, I dunno, make a call to NZ’s PM or maybe tweet condolences or something that demonstrates an ounce of humanity. Also, Bored As gently caress is right about learning Run, Hide, Fight and Stop the Bleed. Our empathy hasn’t kept pace with technology, and mass shootings and every other form of spectacular mass casualty terrorism is exported everywhere else. Best to recognize the world for what it is and learn how to live in it.

I don't want to sleep until I know that Trump has shown the bare minimum of decorum. Or even farmed the "decorum" out to an intern. This isn't even a low bar to clear, it's a painted line.

The technology must exist to cleanse that video from the internet. I'm mystified that a 5-second riff from a rock song gets my home video from ~10 years ago with all of 7 views removed from YouTube, but stuff like this always gets a from companies. My half-obscured face in a blurry, drunken New Year's selfie gets tagged to hell and back, but we can't teach the dumbfuck AI to recognize when someone's playing live action DOOM?

I just woke up to this news. I hope all our Kiwis friend and family’s are ok. I’m sorry our crazy is spilling over to your side of the globe. It’s sad and ironic that yesterday I saw one of the trump muppets on CNN spouting off about left wing violence from antifa after trumps comments on his military, police, and bikers being tough. Meanwhile the admin buried the 2017 Terrorism report that shows right wing extremism outpaces every other type of terrorism both in occurrence and severity.
