The horrendous attack was livestreamed by the terrorists over Facebook and other social media, with the tech companies responding too late in removing the grisly footage.
A Horrifying Incident
During the sickening incident, one of the terrorists implored people to subscribe to PewDiePie’s channel, echoing a common call among his fans from all over the world. A perverse way to promote a YouTube channel nonetheless.

About the ChristChurch Terrorist Attacks
About 40 people have been killed in two mosques, with 20 more injured according to the New Zealand Police. The police have apprehended the shooters, 3 males and 1 female.
The New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, in a clear departure from other Western leaders, has called these incidents as terrorist attacks, signalling perhaps for the first time that terrorism has no religion.
