My country used to be rated #1 for liberty. Now we are arresting people for posting things on the internet.

I've never seen a country do a faster 180 than NZ did in response to this incident.

I much preferred the reaction to the Norway mass shooter. Norway didn't change anything. And specifically said they wouldn't, because doing so would mean the shooter would have what he wants.

That's what standing up for liberty and the common man looks like, imo.

Dude faces up to 14 years in prison for posting a video and the words "Target Acquired". Huh... I'll definitely be following this to see what the actual sentencing is.

That's the article OP posted.... If you click the text to the right of the picture abovr (the title) it'll take you to the same place (OP posted that as a link).

"Liberty" was always a misnomer. Pay attention to what the left wanted during the French Revolution.

The response to this shooting has been crazy.
