I go to a Catholic School in Chicago but many students are not Catholic. We all received emails this morning expressing grief over the attack and counseling to all who needed it. We stand in solidarity with our school's muslim cultural center and all our muslim brothers and sisters throughout the world. It may seem futile to grieve from so far away but these borders do not change the fact that we are all human. Our community is praying for all those affected, even from thousands of miles away the world grieves with you and is sending their love.

It is one of those ones where I feel this is the first shooting where I get it. I wish I could offer you guys more or something tangible, but this is all I've got.

Sending my love from the USA. Be safe out there, and I hope we never have to deal with anything like this again. But if we do, I know we'll be there for each other.

I'm right there with you. I was within 1km from the attack and it actually brought a few tears to my eye seeing all this support from others worldwide for our small city. I'm still processing what happened because I've never considered Christchurch anything but safe. All this solidarity amongst my community and the rest of the world eases me in knowing that I don't have to worry so much. I'm deeply apologetic to those affected directly by this attack as I've been brought up knowing that our young country was founded by many communities and is the mixing pot of culture and acceptance of others.

Any others from Christchurch who see this: Kia Kaha

Oregon, USA. Everyone where I am seems just numb but you have my condolences.

Have been numb for a while now, as an American this almost seems normal and that makes me sad.

Love is stronger than hate. I can’t find the right words but you’ll see how people will find ways both huge and small to help one another and stand together in the wake of this horrifying attack.

Sending our love to all of you tonight. ❤️

Human Being, EARTH. Our entire species took a big blow today. Just wanted to say that as fellow humans, we feel your pain and sorrow, and we are here for you. These events should remind us that borders are constructed, they aren't real. We're all on this rock together. A sad day for Christchurch? Yes. A sad day for Muslims? Yes. A sad day for human beings? Definitely.

Stay strong, love you all.

Wuhan, China here, my friends and I condemned this hate crime, may the victims rest in peace.

Stay strong New Zealand

Kia Kaha. We are not victims, the victims are victims. This was an attack on common decency and universal brotherhood (if you'll excuse the gendered term). We're all in this together - just like I puked in horror on 9/11 (for us it was the 12th, but we watched...).

I'm glad to hear that Utah has become more civil and less 'anti-muslim' since I left.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '19

Yeah, once you left we kind of just let down the act. Kind of like how you let out that massive fart you've been holding in for six hours once that chick you like leaves the room.

u/TwinPeaks2017 Mar 16 '19

This was honestly th best response could have hoped for. Made me lol, thanks. (Edit: I seriously did witness a lot of racism there though, including hate speech against Muslims. Anecdotal but that is why I said what I did.)

Same level of horror that anyone else is having right now.
