that 49 people have lost their lives, never thought something so horrible could happen in my own backyard here in New Zealand, you only hear about such things happening overseas maybe even regularly in some parts of the world but not here, until yesterday I felt like I’ve lived in one of the safest countries in the world it’s population is small and some parts of the world don’t even know who we are but this is just too much for me to even fantom, I’ve got whole bunch of mixed feelings I’m angry but at same time I can’t fight hate with hate. These weren’t just muslims these were people in our community, our friends, our work colleagues and they are gone because they followed a certain religion I don’t want to talk about the ‘white supremacist’ behind it all I won’t go there, I’m just writing this to acknowledge those who lost their lives to someone selfish enough to take it from them. I hope the families and loved ones recover from this traumatic experience and keep praying for them, I’m so sorry to all those who may have been effected in any way.
OMG :( I'm so glad you're okay iamremedy! I heard something happened there, but I wasn't quite sure what. But it just goes to show that hate crimes like this can happen anywhere.
