A gunman horrifically killed 50 people in a New Zealand Mosque on Friday March 15th. Worse, he put his attack on Facebook live. Since Friday, the police have been trying to understand his motive. Initially, the attack seems to be from a lone individual as there was a 74 page anti-immigrant manifesto posted online. Much of that manifesto was to divide counties ( the United States was noted, hoping to start a civil war). Given the attacker used FB, it is concerning that extremist are using social media to not only show their brazen acts but also try to sway groups for their agenda. Has social media gone too far.....

It's disturbing that it was facebook lived and yet he was able to take 50 peoples lives before police could stop him.
