[Lord Popgun]

I’d like to express my shock and sadness at the events that took place in NZ. I hope ours friends there are all OK.

Well said, popgun. It's a tragic day indeed in a beautiful country. My thoughts too are with my friends across the ditch.

As said above.....49 people gone forever....where is this world heading to..

Never expected from that corner of the world. It seems many of us remain unsettled in this world. Peace be with all New Zealanders.

So senseless and barbaric! My heart goes out to NZ and the family and friends of the victims.

It's a crazy world we live in, no place is safe. My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones.

Thoughts and prayers for those affected by this tragic act of violence. An occurrence that has become frequent here in North America, is a shock it has happened in the beautiful and peaceful New Zealand.

murder.

I concur with all other messages.
Great people, the New Zealanders. Staunch friends, loyal. Stood with us in TWO World Wars, despite being half a world away.
We're with you now and thinking of you, Kiwis.

Wow, been mostly asleep for 2 1/2 days due to medicine from a bad case of bronchitis. had no idea this had happened until I logged in here. had to google it to see what happened.

SO SAD. Hard to believe their can be so much hatred in the world.

My heart goes out to those affected by this senseless tragedy.

Senseless and cowardly act of violence. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones

So much death. Having lost two loved ones this past yer, my heart goes out to the families who now have to continue through such a senseless loss. How does a person arrive to the point of committing mass murder? I don't think the solution lies on either side of the gun debate. That's the surface--it's easy to see. There's something much deeper--something which affects a person's soul. Evil thoughts become evil intent, and evil intent becomes evil behavior. When and in what manner to intervene? For certain, there's not one best political answer.
