People then shared links to those videos in the now-banned Reddit groups, which critics and some Reddit users had questioned for years.
Internet users were able to capture the video before Facebook took it down, uploading clips of the incident on platforms including Twitter and YouTube. The social network moved to eliminate the /r/watchpeopledie and /r/gore subreddits less than 24 hours after a shooter killed at least 49 people at two mosques in Christchurch and streamed the event live on Facebook.

Sebastiano Venier was a Venetian general from the 16th Century who his army to victory over the Turks in the Battle of Lepanto. The names written on his weapons include Luca Traini, an Italian man who was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the drive-by shooting of six African migrants in February last year.Īlexandre Bissonnette is serving a life sentence for killing six people and injuring five others in a shooting at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre in 2017. The man is understood to have posted a manifesto online and taken to Twitter with anti-Muslim rants about birthrates and white genocide.
The scenes appear to have been filmed with a camera mounted on his chest. He flees the scene in his car in a relatively calm manner, laughing at times during the drive. He later shoots seemingly randomly on the street and returns to the car before heading back into the mosque again and repeating the process. The gunman begins the video by saying “let’s get this party started” and listens to American civil war music on his way to the shooting.Ĭarrying a number of automatic rifles, two jerry cans and a bag with a ‘PROUDLY KIWI AS’ logo, the gunman stops his car near the mosque, takes a gun out of the boot, then walks into the building and opens fire. Photographs on the man’s Twitter page, which has since been taken down by the platform, show weapons which match the ones used in the video, scrawled with the names of infamous mass shooters
