A bit similar to Anders Breivik Norwegian terrorist attack.

Seems that is precisely what he intended, according to his manifesto.

“” “” Irony that mosque is probably illegal as it is foreign state sponsored and should have never been there in the first place, just like illegals.”” “”

It doesn’t justify mass murder though. Such scumbags are the best friends of both gun grabbers and Muslim advocates.

We would see gun restrictions in NZ following this incident and Muslims would cry they are victims and would extract perks over it 100%.

So much for gun-control laws.

I watched the 16 minute video and he did go back and finish them off.

John Podesta was just in NZ this week trashing Trump in their media. Amazing that a FF happens right after that scumbag appears.

AP article says in last paragraph: In the second attack, the mosque goer returned fire with a rifle or shotgun.

His FAQ did not leave much room for the media to spin his ideology, what his motives were or who influenced him.

Candace Owens is going to be hounded by the MSM over this:

"Is there a particular person that radicalized you the most?

Yes, the person that has influenced me above all was Candace Owens. Each time she spoke I was stunned by her insights and her own views helped push me further and further into the belief of violence overmeekness.

Though I will have to disavow some of her beliefs, the extreme actions she calls for are too much, even for my tastes."

Good point. I fear what the global and national response will be after this though. I’m thinking something that even the five families could not comprehend.

Just to be clear, by FF I mean something meant to draw the media's attention away from what is coming down the pike for the DS. I'm not saying the shooting didn't happen, obviously it did.

No worries. I was just responding to the latest post on the thread at the time.

And FF’s do involve real events timed at the right time.

From Candace Owen’s Twitter:

“To be clear: We played the “Candace is Hitler” game. We played the “Candace is anti-rape victims” game. If the media attempts this “Candace inspired a mosque shooting in New Zealand” bit—they better all lawyer the f*ck up. I will go full Covington Catholic lawsuit. Try me.”

From New Zealand Herald: A second shooting happened at a mosque in the Linwood area of the city.

One Friday prayer goer returned fire with a rifle or shotgun.

Witnesses said they heard multiple gunshots around 1.45pm.

A well known Muslim local chased the shooters and fired two shots at them as they sped off.

He was heard telling police officers he was firing in "self defence".

So - it seems a worse tragedy may have been averted by an armed civilian.

“A white supremacist killing dozens of Muslims in their house of worship is not good for us or for our 2nd amendment rights.”

That was one of his motives per his manifesto. He hopes to weaken the USA’s ability to project force globally by causing a Balkanization of the stats over the 2A issue.

I can’t help but wonder every time there is a mass shooting such as this, if the perps could be programed in such a way to carry out the attack.

Given the nature of artificial intelligence, just about anything is possible.

Coupled with psych drugs, who knows. It’s a much different world today.
