A
shocking massacre in the peaceful island nation of New Zealand just shattered
what would have been a place where the world wide violence of massacres
perpetuated against helpless people praying peacefully in an island would never
occur in one’s mind. But it did happen and 50 people killed and on top of this
the massacre was streamed live on the internet which makes it all the more
disgusting. It was done by a white supremacist Australian guy who had an anti
immigrant agenda, the irony of it being he was also an immigrant which shows he
was against Muslim immigrant in particular. This kind of massacre would have
been more suited to the United States where the guns are easily available and
the right to bear arms is constitutionally protected but not in a place which
ranks constantly in the top countries of the world where the crimes are rare
and a sort of massacre on this scale unheard of and unprecedented.
Now this
plague of white supremacy turning into a killing spree is entering some of the
most peaceful areas of the world and again access to guns have become an issue
with semi automatic guns getting the most criticism and banning its access to
all civilians gaining much voice even in the countries where this massacre
phenomena all started. But for all this hatred, the island nation has come
together to start the healing process and show that people of all different
backgrounds can stand together and defeat this hateful agenda of racism,
nationalism and bigotry.
