May I just take a moment to contradict the hysterical screams of "don't share the video"?

Yes, share the video. Share it everywhere! Watch it and learn what happens in a situation like this so you can take appropriate action to escape or try to thwart the shooter.

Because cowering in a pile in the corner definitely does not work. I can now guarantee that absolutely.

Especially you need to do this if you are in a group that is at heightened risk of being the target of a nut like this.

Share the shit out of that video and watch the shit out of it. It's far, far less horrible than stuff we see on prime time television and the movies, excepting, of course, that it was not fake.

Gaze upon all the closed doors that the shooter never even tried to open because he was in a bit of a hurry to get out before the cops arrived. Feast your eyes upon how the shooter never cleared his rooms properly and anyone could have hidden behind a door and grabbed his gun. Watch how he shoots in response to movement (so if you're trying the pile in the corner manoeuvre, keep still!)

Don't let those people die entirely in vain! Don't make it easy for the next nut job shooter who comes along! Learn from this and don't be an easy victim.

Watch the living shit out of this! Learn! Defend yourself! Be ready! This is not exactly a rare occurrence in the US these days.

(I'm not posting it here because it may get this comment deleted, and I think it is important to get this idea out there.)

On a related note: when your loved one dies, the answer to do you want an autopsy is always YES! Why remain ignorant and let their death mean nothing? Why not LEARN SOMETHING! Same with airplane crashes--you're darn right we need to know EXACTLY what happened.

Hmmm. So this is actual story. I read the guardian reporting and it was very clearly leaving out details, because the questions being asked contained specific details which the answers simply ignored.

But similar to the Pell case, with international media outlets, under different laws and protocols, it just seems to constrain certain media organisations from discussing the facts as they are known.

Another reason to be leery of people wearing mounted cameras i guess
Something is amiss here - these so called 'lone wolfs' or 'not-a-member-of-any-organization' are surprisingly well-armed, well-trained and all 'declare' they are 'acting alone'.

Is this some sort of tactic to throw off any suspicion about a global, Terrorist organization targeting Muslims?

Seems like terms such as 'acting alone', 'gunman', 'supremacist organization' are being used by these individuals (and maybe media?) to throw off the spotlight on such terrorist organization(s).

Lone wolf just means they're white and right wing politically we can't acknowledge that trend.
