You've probably heard reports of this sad event. It appears that multiple shooters launched attacks on at least 2 Christchurch mosques, death toll (so far) 50 men, women and children.

Fiona and I are safe as we live on the western outskirts of the city.

I just wanted to advise all my forum friends that all is well with us, can't imagine the horror of listening to the imam's sermon when this vile act happened.

I hope all members are well.

Regards

John Clements

Wtf is wrong with ppl. Why is the media instilling fear across everywhere? just because a few terrorist sects ruin it for the rest of the ppl. End rant (sure it could have been worded a lot better and longer)

I'm very glad your safe.
 
Glad you and yours are ok.

The late news here says that the shooter was a white nationalist bent on extracting revenge on Muslims for all the Christians that have been killed by terrorists. He left a lengthy manifesto mostly spewing nonsense. He also said that he hoped to reignite the anti gun debate and start a civil war in the US over the 2nd Amendment that would also be a race war along racial and ethnic lines. One sick SOB. News media here is also reporting 27 dead including women and children and that the area is still locked down. Wish the news was better.

Sorry to hear this. The world is getting crazier every day. Unfortunately I think it is only going to get worse.
Glad you guys are ok.
 
New Zealand put their terror level to high. They have never done that before.
 
I thought of you when I heard this. Another cowardly act by an idiot. He even streamed it on a bodycam. Glad you are safe.
 
What is the world coming to. So sad. Prayers to the families and all those lives destroyed by this act of terror. Good Bless
 
John,
Glad to hear you and your family are safe. I thought about you too when I read the news this morning.
