NZ, 10 Years In Prison For “Possessing” Mosque Shooting Video; Web Hosts Warned, “Dissenter” Banned
Activist Post ^ | 2-17-2019 | Tyler Durden

New Zealand authorities have reminded citizens that they face up to 10 years in prison for “knowingly” possessing a copy of the New Zealand mosque shooting video – and up to 14 years in prison for sharing it. Corporations (such as web hosts) face an additional $200,000 ($137,000 US) fine under the same law.

Terrorist Brenton Tarrant used Facebook Live to broadcast the first 17 minutes of his attack on the Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand at approximately 1:40 p.m. on Friday – the first of two mosque attacks which left 50 dead and 50 injured.

. Copies of Tarrant’s livestream, along with his lengthy manifesto, began to rapidly circulate on various file hosting sites following the attack, which as we noted Friday – were quickly scrubbed from mainstream platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Scribd. YouTube has gone so far as to intentionally disable search filters so that people cannot find Christchurch shooting materials – including footage of suspected multiple shooters as well as the arrest of Tarrant and other suspects.

On Saturday, journalist Nick Monroe reported that New Zealand police have warned citizens that they face imprisonment for distributing the video, while popular New Zealand Facebook group Wellington Live notes that “NZ police would like to remind the public that it is an offence to share an objectional publication which includes the horrific video from yesterday’s attack. If you see this video, report it immediately. Do not download it. Do not share it. If you are found to have a copy of the video or to have shared it, you face fines & potential imprisonment.”

All two million are recalled by the factory.

Isn’t this the model country everyone wants to immigrate to ?

Yeah, the great American brain drain of the '90s was going to NZ. Not to smart in retrospect.

The government is turning out to be more evil than the shooter.

Well, no. I looked at it when Obama was elected. New Zealand looked worse on taxes and gun control than New Jersey, and it smells even worse than New Jersey.

Not only don't they have a 2nd Amendment, they don't have a 1st Amendment, either.

It does have more sheep than people, if anyone is into sheep.

Online mexican newspapers often publish gruesome photos of drug cartel hits, brains splattered all over, body parts in coolers or dangling from overpasses, and people just take it as ‘the news’, because that's what it is. You can watch a few murders on liveleak in the time it takes to heat some pizza in the microwave. Not of big fan of snuff surveillance vids, but only muslims murdered in anglo countries seem to enjoy the special perks they are being afforded.

What the hell happened to New Zealand? Was an ideal country when I lived there back in the 1960s.

"If the reason they want to quash the video..."

Lessons of the shooter's tactics (poor) and trigger discipline that could be improved upon.

IMO

So is the video of the Jordanian pilot, doused with gasoline, locked in a cage and set on fire. I also believe there are a few videos of homosexuals being tossed off of buildings. I haven’t seen those, I have seen the one with the pilot.

Seriously? What law would this possibly fall under or did they draft a law specifically applying to this video?????

It's probably some law that generally forbids the possession of anything that would engender "hatred: or could be seen as glorifying "hatred".

Remember,not only does NZ lack a 2nd Amendment,they also lack a 1st Amendment.What they *don't* lack is a thousand different "hate crime" laws.

This is the very same dream that our Rat Party has for this country.

What pray tell did Dissenter have to do with any of this?

A lot apparently, for an entire state's apparatchiks to ban simple commentary software.

That's what I think too.

There's something that they really don't want anyone to see.

Let me guess.

Individuals get a $200,000 *reward* for having or sharing any ISIS beheading videos.

Remember, G.K. Chesterton wrote close to 100 years ago: "It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
