You are playing right into his hands. You are his puppet.

This article misses the point why he said it. He said it because he knew it would stoke the media into calling for censorship of PewDiePie, which will cause further division (since it has happened to him before) which the shooter clearly states his goal was to cause division

anwerofficial Dear, Respectfully, this isn't shooting but an act of terrorism. A plane look of videos in circulation shows that this terrorism act was well-planned and supported. You must call it terrorist attack otherwise it is simply hypocratic behaviour of ur media

This is very important article I think. At the same time,there's the Bangradish rugby national team in Christchurch for training. I've known this fact from other source of online sports news media. Same key is 'Bangradish'. What's terrorists intended for...

Bc he wanted to give an excuse to his madness. Its obvious that no dead will be able to sub anyway.

you are being manipulated

Don't know. Do tell.

This seems too ludicrous to believe as a blame point. What's next? A claim that he said 'Vote Conservatives'? It screams of desperation as an opportunity taken by the Indy to discredit ANYTHING right wing and attribute it to catalyst reason for terrorism

PewDiePie because they are all gays..Christchurch

I'm struggling to think of a more pointless article posted by you recently. That was just a word soup for clicks.

Because he was an unhinged maniac

For media attention and you are feeding it.

Jewish owned media throughout the world has already created Islamic phobia to encourage hate crime and ethnic cleansing

Opinion: Why the choice to publish the Christchurch attack video is potentially very dangerousA mass murder, presented through the murderer’s eyes, like something from a computer game. By turns horrifying, glorifying and somehow sanitising the deaths of 49 innocent people No censorship whatsoever. I take it Will Gore watched it Too late, and ridiculous. It was live, many saw it Inc me, so whether you post later is pretty much defunct.

It’s almost certainly not time to panic | Oliver BurkemanWhy it isn’t useful to fuel the arms race of exaggeration The top 5 out of 6 stories on my googlenews feed are from Guardian despite The Guardian having the smallest circulation among the British People for National Newspapers The Guardian is Britain's Pravda and Google News is our Supreme Soviet Dont panic! One way politicians have failed us recently is the descent into scaremongering over Brexit. Food and medicine shortages and financial chaos have been threatened by those who claim to care for society’s most vulnerable. No public servant with any integrity would promote fear.

‘Our goal is to halve the male suicide rate’: why no-frills therapy works for menEvery week, around the country, groups of men meet for some straight-talking therapy. Could this be the answer to the male mental health crisis? Here's a place to start... stop degradating them for their masculinity! Personally, I think guys just want to be accepted. These attacks on their being damage what feminism calls their “fragile ego” to humiliate their vulnerability. I think they feel boxed in. Could be wrong though. It may work for some. For me it's a toxic environment.
