In the first 24 hours after the deadly mass shooting in New Zealand, Facebook says that it has removed 1.5 million videos that were uploaded of the attack, of which 1.2 million “at upload.”

The company made the announcement in a Tweet, following up on a prior announcement that it had been alerted by authorities and removed the alleged shooter’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. Facebook spokeswoman Mia Garlick says that the company is also “removing all edited versions of the video that do not show graphic content.”

Exactly ... I agree with that.

What statement would that be? Just saying what I saw on the video. I'm sure you will straighten me out.

“I was suspended from all actions on Facebook for posting the video on my page (for one week, they said)”

I thought you were banned from here for being an obamabot. Now you’re at facebook posting snuff flims? Figures.

Recall in 2004, Dan Ratherbiased told the viewing audience that while they would not broadcast the full Nick Berg video, “they could find it on the web”.

At the time, the Nick Berg beheading was blamed on the Abu Ghraib scandal, except it wasn’t the cause. Nick Berg had already been kidnapped and some other hostages had escaped. Abu Ghraib was as good a reason as any to make an Islamic snuff film.

And Michael Moore’s crew had interviewed Mr. Berg in Iraq.
And Nick Berg had let someone connected to the 9-11-2001 attacks use his computer.

Small world, isn’t it?

I wasn’t banned from here. I’ve been here since 1999. You are mistaken or thinking of someone else.

I haven’t been on here in a while, though, but that was my own doing. Thank the Facebook suspension for getting me back here, again ... LOL ...

Found it. Awful. Only needed 1-2 concealed carrier to shoot him dead. He stayed focused too long on one place. Would have been an opportune shot.

No, I remember you, fellow traveler. An obamabot after-birther troll.

The New Zealand government is acting like they have something to hide.

Perhaps their intelligence agencies/police are complicit in what happened here?

This ... “but I didn’t see one drop of blood or any blood streams”

I’ve seen the statement elsewhere, too.

No question!

This is Tucson/ Gabby all over again.

They keep these useful killers on hand by the dozen.

An Obamabot doesn’t vote for the GOP candidate against Obama, which I did. I also voted for Trump and continue to be a supporter and looking forward to 2020.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I wasn’t banned and I’m not an Obama supporter ... LOL ...

HOWEVER, I did think that those ‘Birthers’ were ridiculous in their statements and I told them so ... I remember one particular statement I said back in 2007 ... something to this effect ...

You birthers will still be hassling over this when Obama is building his Presidential Library and is out of office. (which has turned out to be true ... LOL ...)

Birthers were total idiots, as far as I’m concerned, and I’m speaking as a non-supporter of Obama and all of his Presidency and one who voted in both elections against him.

So. I didn’t see any blood streams in the video I watched. I went back and watched it again to make sure and still did not see any blood. I’ll stick with my lying eyes.

You’re not paying attention, then ... look at his second entry into the building, right at the door, and the people laying down ... that’s the most plainly obvious spot. You can’t miss it ... but you did, it seems.

One thing I noticed is that there were bodies laying everywhere but I didn’t see one drop of blood or any blood streams. Also no bullet holes in the walls.

It's not a clear video. There's definitely blood. The bullet holes from a .223 cal might not be very visible.

I'm no expert but I'd imagine the amount of blood would have to do from where they were shot and how long they languished. He went back and finished all these people off.

The bloodiest gunshot I've ever seen is on LiveLeak. A teenage robber in Brazil is shot by a police officer while robbing a cell phone store (and after shooting the pregnant saleswoman).

He takes a shot in the lungs and realizes he's made the biggest and last mistake of his life. The cameras are rolling as he begins spitting up blood, which quickly turns into a bright-red crimson fountain of coughing as he slowly drowns. Nobody offers any aid.

What about his manifesto?

Has the media cracked down on it spreading as well?

day one the media had it and told “selective truths” (deliberate falsehoods).

They called him a “trump supporter” but he said “his policies? Dear god no.”

They called him a “far right extremist”. He said he was a Communist, anarchist, libertarian, and then eco-fascist.

Some who’ve read it said he support Communist China’s policies and he said that the attack was designed to generate more legislation to control guns.

The Left is giving their boy everything he wanted.

“An Obamabot doesn’t vote for the GOP candidate against Obama”

Sure you didn’t. No one but trolls and obamabots use the term ‘birther’ without quotations. The fact is your hero was never eligible to hold the ‘job’ he did for 8 long years. You defended his eligibility cuz you’re either a complete moron or a democrat troll. Or both.

GUN CONTROL KILLS

New Zealand must accept responsibility that their gun restrictions got a lot of innocent people killed. Every law making arms possesion to good people more difficult increases the mass murder rate. Eventually, full gun bans kill millions by their own Government.

GOOD PEOPLE NEED GUNS, not restrictions.

New Zealand, your bad law enabled a massacre.

The Facebook Massacre.

There was plenty of blood.

Oh yes specific blood flow seen when he went back in and bodies had time to bleed out. Very methodical, but wasted ammo. Went back to shoot the wounded. Must be hanged along with anyone who conspired with him.

Why are you watching snuff films on the internet?
