I’ve stopped engaging in the “what about the children” arguments because they bring far too much emotional bias. They invariably devolve into people spewing “you just don’t care about children”. There’s just no hope for a productive discussion.

Nothing wrong with showing what happened right before and right after. Members of the public might spot something.

Another non answer.

I'll answer for you, with the answer I believe you would have used - No, baby rape videos should not be available, because freedom of expression , has it's limits.

I agree with the bolded and have had that thought ever since I read his manifesto. We already fight. Of course, he wanted to start up a "guns are bad" vs "it's our right" argument again - which we really didn't need him to do, we can do that all by ourselves.

It gives all the sickos out there a way for them to share their depravities. That there's scores of people out there who actually want to watch it rather scares me.
I also agree with the bolded. As for the rest, I've already explained some of the reasons why in another thread so won't go on about it on here. It's not about "depravity", it's about refusing to become complacent.

Anyone think this guy was hypnotized? Before the killing began an odd bit of folk music started playing in his car. Post hypnotic suggestion? I have a feeling he will be 'Oswalded' while in custody to keep him from talking. I doubt he was a lone wolf.
No. He was an infinity channer. The music he selected was for a very specific reason. It has a whole lot to do with hard core trolling.

And again, I've already gone over this in another thread. Old Testament is not what Christians follow. It's there because it was the first will of God, but the New Testament is what Christianity follows, according to Christians. (I'm not a Christian but had to play one when I was a child and forced to go to church every Sunday.)

Did the world accuse the U.S. of falling into tyranny when National Guardsmen shot and killed four students participating in a peaceful demonstration at Kent State.

How about having to use the military to guarantee the safety of students who just wanted to attend high school and were mobbed when they showed up for simply being the wrong colour?

Tyranny and freedom are two words some on here should not even attempt to engage in reasonable discussion about.

When it comes to shaming other countries over their civil rights and freedoms, the recent history of the U.S. should preclude you even getting a seat in the debate hall.

Default Have You Watched or Sought Out the Video of the Christchurch Mosques Shootings?

Simple enough question to inquire as to the amount of interest in watching people get shot and if someone would admit to it.

They have threatened imprisonment, if anyone in NZ has this video in their possession.
What ever "Desenter" is, they have ban the app
Let the cover-up begin, to set the narrative like they want it to be.
