You asked so don't shoot the messenger.

Mr President, keep your worthless thoughts and prayers to yourself when you refuse to take basic steps to protect our own.

So she's making fun of prayer when talking about people who believe in the power of prayer?

She is not making fun of prayer. She is saying the same thing many relatives of victims have been saying. We don't want your meaningless thoughts and prayers. WE WANT ACTION!!

"Meaningless" as in you are just saying what you believe you should say and don't mean it.

So before I jump in with my $0.02 - let me start by saying that this is horrible on many levels. At it's most basic, people praying were killed like lambs to the slaughter in their own house of worship. The fact that the killer was so stone-faced, announced his attack and live-streamed it - bothers me way too much. I don't know if playing to many video games densensitized this guy from the murder, but the web/message boards/social media, prompted him to turn it into a show.

Speaking of turning into a show - I give you Ms. AOC,a couple of points about her statement:
- She listed 3 attacks in the US, all perpetrated by White Supremecists
- By invoking the "thoughts and prayers comment", she's tying it to gun control - even though this didn't happen in the US.
- Interestingly enough, New zealand has about 1.2m guns in a country of 7m people, and yet their murder rate is 7 per million (US is about 50 per million across the board, higher in some areas than others).

I think that it was pretty obvious what she meant. Instead of taking action, some people, especially those in power, offer meaningless statements of sympathy.

So you're suggesting what exactly? The NZ PM say nothing and "do more"? What more exactly do you want her to have done?

"Meaningless thoughts and prayers"? Well, I suppose if you are an atheist then it's meaningless.

"We want action!". What action would that be?

What they really want?

They want guns banned across the board. They want free speech criminalized. It's simple: AOC and her cohorts will set the rules of what is considered "hate speech" and will prosecute accordingly. All hate coming from the Left will be given a pass and all hate coming from the right will be criminalized.

Please read what I wrote. If you believe they are not sincere then yes they are meaningless. She/I did not say prayers are meaningless.

I am going to take a wild guess and the action the relatives of the victims are talking about is gun control.

Again don't shoot the messenger.

Chaim, why would you think they're not sincere?

There is gun control in NZ.

Of course it was obvious what she meant. Some just choose not to acknowledge it because she says so many stupid things.

I am going on the premise she is talking about Trump's comments.

She's responding to a statement from the NZ prime minister, I don't see where this has anything to do with Trump

All hate coming from the Left will be given a pass and all hate coming from the right will be criminalized.

OK, so all the whining against the PM's (in all likelihood sincere) sympathy should be discarded as "meaningless and ineffective" and instead we (read: AOC and her cohorts) should blast her for not using her DeLorean, going back in the past, and outlawing (all? semi-automatic? automatic?) firearms?

What will they think of next? Par for the course with that one.

Her comments are about the US.

While I get your point, in this case their enemy happens to also be our enemy. The guy who shot up the shul in Pittsburg did it for the SAME reason this guy shot up the mosque. White supremacists believe that the Jews are "opening the floodgates" of Western countries and purposely pouring in millions of Muslims to outnumber and exterminate the White race.

I'm not suggesting that you read what they write, but it's always good to know your enemy. I was reading 8chan last night based on a thread I saw on Reddit, before the mainstream media even broke the story about this shooting, and there were hoards of Neo Nazis celebrating this guy as a hero and cheering him on. He actually posted on 8chan about what he was going to do and told his Nazi buddies to follow his livestream on Facebook. After he shot up the first mosque, he got away in his car and the livestream cut off. They were begging him to shoot up a synagogue. I have screenshots of this.

They were ultimately pissed that he didn't attack any Jews, and that in his manifesto he wrote that as long as the Jews "stay in Israel" and don't migrate he won't attack them.
I am familiar, but the difference between us and them, is that there aren't any sect of jews carrying out terror attacks randomly the way radical Muslims do. So along comes someone who can't comprehend they're not all radical, and kills the innocent for the deeds of the radical. While completely wrong, it can at least be "masked" with avenging those lost to terror(a well person would understand this isn't so). Killing jews seems to jest be pure hatred. Regardless, I've said more than I'd like to on the topic, so I'll let it rest, as should the souls of all those killed.

What should we learn from this? That letting in immigrants brings out the deranged individuals?
I don't know, but if something like this happens, we can't undo it. I always pray that at the very least something good can come from it. What that is? I don't know.
