A Christchurch spokesperson told local media police were concerned the suspects had plans to target the victims of the mosque attack as they were transported to hospital.Ī “manifesto” was posted online before the attacks, in which the suspected gunman espoused far-right and anti-immigrant ideology.
Hotels in the inner city stationed security guards at their entrances, and armed police protected landmarks of significance, including the courthouse and Christchurch hospital, which is believed to have been a further target. Hewitt describes ItemFix as "something completely different, completely fresh, and something we feel energized about tackling." He added, "Sometimes it's just the right time to chart a new path.New Zealand’s entire police arsenal and personnel were deployed throughout the country and en masse in Christchurch, the South Island’s largest city, which is known to have an active white-supremacist subculture. Along with, it was part of an early generation of "shock" sites, the sort of places you'd go to see if you could stomach the human carnage of a car accident. LiveLeak was co-founded by the folks behind Ogrish, which also centered on displaying horrific imagery. But it could just be that the initial concept for the site has run its course. Without more detail, it's tough to pinpoint the exact reasoning for LiveLeak's demise. "The world has changed a lot over these last few years, the Internet alongside it, and we as people." "We felt LiveLeak had achieved all that it could and it was time for us to try something new and exciting," co-founder Hayden Hewitt wrote in a blog post. As The Verge reports, LiveLeak has been replaced with the far less racy ItemFix, a video sharing site that explicitly bans uploading gory or violent content. In 2019, New Zealand blocked access to the site for hosting video of the Christchurch mass shooting. It featured everything from local crimes to terrorist propaganda, like the ISIS beheading of journalist James Foley. The site could be best described as YouTube's evil (and less popular) twin, the place where you'd go to find uncensored footage of humanity at its worst.
LiveLeak, once the purveyor of horribly violent videos, was unceremoniously shut down this Wednesday.
