    The more I read about this massacre and the events that preceded it, the more I have questions.
    The White supremacist dude, not only posted in advance his intents and manifesto on the dark web, he emailed it 10 minutes before to the PM among others. How come this was not picked immediately and authorities alerted? Aren't the likes 8Chan and other white supremacists/ neo nazis sites monitored by police? How come this guy was not on any watchlist after all his postings?
    The guy live streamed his rampage live on FB for 17 minutes. How on earth he was not stopped before? He was not in the middle of a city, not in the middle of nowhere!

    And that Senator was egged at an event here in Melbourne today.

    Also, Milo Yiannopolous has been banned from entering Australia.

    On stands to reason. You can't be "angelic" if you're born with black hair.

    As one said "Terrorism is one of the very few areas, where white men do most of the work, but don't get much of the credit".

    So as fate would have it I was back home and arrived back in CHC from a road trip last friday

    As we drove back in from the western side of the city, first I knew of the shootings was via Whatsapp from my sister checking in on us

    Surreal atmosphere. Especially the local school round the corner releasing lockdown at dinner time and more cars than I have ever seen in the 'hood as every parent descended to get their kids

    Never thought I would see this in CHC

    The civilized world looks at New Zealand for moral leadership, not the United States. It is the shining city on a hill. Meanwhile, we're the New Confederacy.

    What's so funny is, we've always been that, and nobody noticed but POCs.

    I was so proud of her - and especially that she held back the tears (unlike the Grace Millane presser).

    Her call to deplatform this arsehole was perfect

    Sadly the Daily Mail and co just can't resist making him a star

    We were less obvious as the New Confederacy when our leader was half-Kenyan, and the First Lady was 100% African-American.

    Nah. He was opposed at every turn, and not just because of party loyalty on the Right

    Regardless, he was the legally elected leader of the country -- its symbol. That's a whole lot different look than facing the world with Donald Trump upfront.

    But the only reason Obama won is because Dubya ********ed it all up so royally. A healthy, scandal-free America elects another fratboy to the office. Trump is what America has longed to be (again) for the last 50-60 years. Remember Reagan, the (slightly) more statesmanlike version of Trump?
