3 men and a woman if I read the nz news site correctly.
My (all but 2) family lives in and around Auckland, my FB news feed was hit hard by everyone posting about it, so many different tales, but most say 3-4 gunmen and one states 3 men and a woman. All nz websites, not American news since you can’t really trust anything the American news reports.
It’s important that people don’t share the video or the stupid manifesto or focus too much on the terrorists themselves, because for them the attention is all.
It’s like that Treehouse of Horror episode of the Simpsons when the big mascots come to life and rampage through Springfield. Just don’t look! Just don’t look!
You, you are saying the Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Tajiks and Kyrgyzs not significant enough in numbers for the reason they are not being persecuted by the Chinese government.
The reason that Uyghurs seems overly watched in China because if you look the numbers (try google or wiki it), there are lots of radicals fighting for ISIS coming from Uyghur populations.
This is not the case for Hui, Kazakh or other Chinese muslimcommunity.
My response to you was my first post in this thread. Other posters may have been saying what you think I said. No worries, though, it’s an easy mistake to make.
Idk, I’ve been playing with violent games since I was a kid. I won’t even kill a fish and throw it back. Every time I go hunting with my friends I don’t actually shoot at the animal.
Well, I deliberately didn’t write “…and don’t buy/allow it.” My feeling is that a parent shouldn’t allow young children to just play those games in a vacuum. Join them, talk about it, process the experience in a healthy way.
I’m not sure what you mean by the hunting anecdote. Neither do I. Sometimes you don’t see anything or can’t get a shot off.
I purposely miss or just don’t shoot when I could. I would kill an animal if I had to eat. But not for sport and I don’t need to kill it for food. I think even kids can differentiate between video game characters being killed and a real person. If they can’t, maybe it’s not the game that’s the problem.
I really don’t think video games inspire real life violence in someone who is not already prone to violent behavior. If anything it’s a nice outlet in lieu of committing actual violent acts. If I ever want to jack a bus or walk around and beat the shit out of strangers I can just boot up GTA.
