John Battersby, a counter-terrorism expert at Massey University of New Zealand, said the country had been spared mass terrorist attacks, partly because of its isolation. Social media had changed that.
"This fellow live streamed the shooting and his supporters have cheered him on, and most of them are not in New Zealand," he said. "Unfortunately once it's out there and it's downloaded, it can still be (online)," he added.
The spread of the video could inspire copycats, said CNN legal enforcement analyst Steve Moore, a retired supervisory special agent for the FBI.
"What I would tell the public is this: Do you want to help terrorists? Because if you do, sharing this video is exactly how you do it," Moore said.
"Do not share the video or you are part of this," he added.

MF Global + JP Morgan
https://money.cnn.com/2013/03/20/news/mf-global-jp-morgan-settlement/index.html
The MF Global fiasco edged closer to final resolution Wednesday after JPMorgan Chase agreed to return $546 million to customers of the failed brokerage.
JPMorgan will pay $100 million to MF Global clients, according to the terms of the agreement. The trustee charged with liquidating the brokerage's assets will release another $417 million in funds that had previously been returned by the bank.
JPMorgan will also return a final $29 million in funds held by the bank after MF Global's stunning collapse and bankruptcy in late 2011.
The settlement, which still must be approved by the courts, should be one of the last major actions in the MF Global bankruptcy case. The trustee, James Giddens, has recovered a significant percentage of customer funds that were thought to be lost in the chaotic final days of the brokerage led by former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine.
JPMorgan (JPM) was intimately linked to MF Global operations, especially in late 2011, acting as a clearing house for the brokerage while executing asset transfers between the firm and its clients.
The settlement should boost the recovery rate for MF Global customers in the United States to more than 93 cents on the dollar, according to Giddens. Foreign investors will now receive "several percentage points above" 75% to 82% of their original investment.
"This is a favorable and economically sound agreement ending what would have been a costly, protracted, and uncertain legal battle," Giddens said. "Without the agreement, additional substantial distributions would have been delayed for at least two or three years."
JPMorgan said in a statement that it was pleased to resolve the matter.
"We are pleased to have reached this settlement, which will help restore funds to MF Global's customers," the bank said. "The agreement resolves all outstanding matters between JPMorgan Chase and the MFGlobal SIPA estate, its customers and creditors."
Some of that is coming back though after a multi year hiatus. It's like we're getting the band together again…
IIRC, JPM at that time was big into silver hoarding and even went so far as to build a warehouse in jolly old England to store copper to keep off the market. Imagine that.

I’ve been on JPMorgan’s case since the fall of 2008, when I first uncovered that the bank was the new king short in silver. Because the evidence has been so strong that JPMorgan has both manipulated the price and accumulated a massive amount of physical silver, I lost any fear I had when I first started referring to JPMorgan as crooked in its silver (and gold) dealings. Yes, I still send the bank all my articles and I assume I would have heard from bank officials had they had any objection to what I write.
Because the takeover of Bear Stearns by JPMorgan was necessitated by concerns for the stability of the financial system, it was, basically, arranged and overseen by the highest levels of US Government financial regulators, the Treasury Dept. and the Federal Reserve. In a nutshell, Bear Stearns was too big to fail. Yet fail it did, although the USG and JPMorgan took strong measures to contain the damage from the Bear Stearns failure. One of those measures was to prevent Bear’s failure from affecting the silver and gold market.
As the biggest short seller in COMEX gold and silver futures contracts, Bear Stearns’ failure would be expected to cause prices to explode in an orgy of short covering by the biggest short suddenly gone bad. Actually, silver and gold prices had been running to new highs back then as Bear Stearns lurched toward bankruptcy in mid-March 2008. From the start of that year, silver had jumped by $6 to $21, a new 28 year price high and gold hit its then all-time high of over $1000, up $150 since year end, with both price highs occurring on the very day that Bear Stearns was taken over, March 17, 2008 (St. Patrick’s Day).
That was the day, of course, when JPMorgan took over the short reins from Bear Stearns, with full prodding, cooperation and participation from the US Treasury and the Fed. Almost from that day, silver and gold prices began falling and didn’t stop until October of 2008, when silver traded below $9, nearly 60% lower than when JPMorgan took over – not just Bear Stearns, but the market itself. Gold fell from its then all-time high of $1020 to under $700 by that October. And on these massive price declines in 2008, JPMorgan bought back much of its massive COMEX short position with profits of many hundreds of millions of dollars. This was the very first of the many coming successful manipulation campaigns conducted by JPMorgan upon its ascension to the very top of the silver market.
