scariest thing is i lived in New Zealand for 6 years and this is shocking, i cant believe someone would do this in a country as peaceful as New Zealand
Why they tried to smear Pewdiepie I have zero idea, you're not a fan if you use someone's name for the purpose of terror, you're insane.

Probably to get the blame shifted to him. Lots of people are now saying that pewdiepie is responsible for the attack
Horrible act of senseless violence and terror, once again randomly ending the lives of citizens. I am glad to see he was caught alive and hope that anyone who is involved as a suspect indirectly to the shooting will be caught soon too.
Honestly terrible, I can't even begin to imagine what the families of those caught up in it are going through. I'm glad he was caught alive and didn't get the easy way out.
Absolutely horrible. The sentence that the courts give to the shooter will be too good for him.
Cant wait to see what the left has to say about this one
This should go without saying.
Don't post the video, don't post the manifesto, and be sensitive.
I'm glad he was caught, and I just have to hope for the best for anyone injured, and for the families of those killed.
Thoughts are with the New Zealanders these next couple of days.
ISIS is collapsing, and Right and Left Terror is becoming much more prominent, and it will be a much harder fight than any islamic militant group.
Will we ever get a break?
PewDiePie also released a statement on Twitter, "Just heard news of the devastating reports from New Zealand Christchurch. I feel absolutely sickened having my name uttered by this person.
My heart and thoughts go out to the victims, families and everyone affected by this tragedy."
