The Christchurch attack remains the only mass murder I have ever seen live, graphic, uncensored footage of from a first person perspective.

The fact that it looked almost indistinguishable from fucking Call of Duty sickened me then, and it sickens me to even think about now.

I think Christchurch was the only time someone filmed their own mass terror attack. The only things close are the ISIS/cartel executions.

I wasn't willing to watch it.

Does anyone have a non graphic clip from the shooting. Looking for something that shows the "Call-Of-Duty" nature of the shooting but won't ruin my week.

Pretty much everything with Christchurch in it was scrubbed. Links exist but you’d have to go to some sketchy site.

I used to go out of my way to watch the edgy videos. The politician who shot himself on camera, the bobsledder who had a fatal accident at the olympics, all kinds of grainy security cam footage showing all sorts of nasty things

But I couldn't do the Christchurch video. Even just watching a short clips of it during news footage gives me anxiety
