Someone's spreading an MBR-trashing copy of the Christchurch killer's 'manifesto' – and we're OK with this, maybe?

Re: Mixed feelings

I don't think we should be referring to mass murderers as "nut jobs"

I do, and certainly not as 'terrorists', because one man's freedom fighter and all that. As Margaret Thatcher once said, we should be denying them the oxygen of publicity. Rest can be a legal distinction. By the standards of practically the entire world, the actions were crazy, and not something we'd contemplate, let alone act on. Like in the Norwegian case, I suspect this person will also be declared legally sane and tried for multiple counts of murder.
