"Ahh, those famous ladder killers ..."

"Not when you are selling bombs."


I'm feeding these two character strings into my Cray 1 looking for some sort of pattern to connect them.

I'll get back to you in four or five hours when it's run.

Bit of a difference between probably being an Islamic terrorist leaving a 79 page manifesto and live streaming a video log of the shooting.

That is false equivalency.

Do you know what gets me anout this?


The guy said in his manifesto that his goal was to make the powers-that-be over react and limit freedoms, thus angering the people and bringing the desired civil war closer to reality.


So......immediately after the shooting, what are the powers-that-be doing? Not only in New Zealand, but around the world?


Seeking ways to take away guns and limit free speech.


It is as if the manifesto is their guideline.


Weird.


And stupid, on their part.

He wants the powers that be to take away people's guns so that they'll rise up in rebellion against the powers that be.

That's the gun lobby militiaman's version of responsible forearms ownership.

Since crown prosecutors are government employees with life time employment I dont think it would affect their careeer unless they planned to enter politics. But they might find themselves faced with a lot of psycho druggy cases.
You're clearly ignorant of government work. The career of such an employee would come to a screeching halt.

As a Kiwi CDN I don't want semi auto weapons in N.Z., I see enuf damage caused by pellet guns.
Wounded cats, dog, birds,swans.
Too many sickos....
When I entered NZ from Canada in 1987 I surrendered my Armalite AR-7 "survival" 22 cal. as it could easily be converted to semi-auto and cut down.
Had the cop accompany me to the post office and ship it back to Canada.
No problem.

That actually happened with the trial of Gian Ghomeshi a few years back.


Exactly what 'legal trick' did Ms Henein use to get Ghomeshi off? Oh the one where she had the so-called victims finally admit the truth. Or the one where she proved they colluded? Those aren't tricks - they are legal methods of exposing the lies of witnesses.

The witnesses were clearly dingbats but it sure looked like they were played like a violin by an extremely intelligent lawyer.

Was justice done?

I don't know. Like during the Kavanaugh confirmation, there were a whole lot of others who's testimonies were not taken into account. Smoke .... Fire .... There is a connection between the two. Why the hell launch a massive conspiracy against a radio announcer?

I believe Toronto has taken a number of measures such as hardening areas where people gather - such as bus stops - with anti collision barriers - in order to try and reduce the likelihood of this happening again.

Sort of good to hear and sad to hear at the same time.

The world has really changed.
