We’re all waking up to some shocking headlines coming out of New Zealand. One man is in custody, with as many as three other people having been detained for questioning in what is by far the worst mass shooting seen on the islands in modern history. Reports vary, but 49 people are said to have been killed and at least twenty others injured in two separate mosques while people were attending prayers sometime after one in the afternoon. (NY Post)
The man who livestreamed himself slaughtering at least 49 worshipers in a New Zealand mosque has been identified as a 28-year-old personal trainer from Australia who described himself as a “regular white man.”
Brenton Tarrant identified himself online before unleashing his rampage, posting several photos on a since-deleted Twitter account of what appear to be assault rifle magazines and a link to a lengthy manifesto, The Guardian reported.
He worked at the Big River Gym in the northern New South Wales city of Grafton since finishing high school in 2009 until 2011, when he decided to travel across Europe and Asia, gym manager Tracey Gray told abc.net.au.
He financed his trips with money he made from Bitcoin and cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, she said.
Like many lunatics in the modern era, Brenton Tarrant left behind a lengthy “manifesto” explaining that he was a “regular white guy” and how he really had it out for Muslims in his community. The larger shooting at the first mosque was livestreamed on social media.
This guy worked as a personal trainer at a gym and none of his colleagues or his employer said they had any inkling that he might be up to something like this. But they did note that Tarrant had taken several years off from work after making a substantial amount of money off Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The owner of the gym points out that he traveled to Europe, but also to North Korea and that something about him “must have changed” over the course of his travels.
Sounds to me like he was radicalized, but in the opposite way that we normally think of. He apparently returned from his world travels with a hatred for Muslims and an agenda to take matters into his own hands.
It’s worth noting that New Zealand has gun control laws in place and there is no equivalent of the Second Amendment there. Police control the issuance of various levels of permits on a “may issue” basis. They can approve or deny permits at their sole discretion based on whether or not the applicant is considered a “person of good character” and doesn’t have a history of criminal activity, mental illness or other disqualifying factors. Of New Zealand’s roughly five million residents, approximately 250,000 have gun permits.
In New Zealand ...ALL meat is halel. So if you buy meat , some goat humping islamopig said prayers all over it and god knows what else. Im sure they tamper with it in disgusting ways.
Also banks give interest free loans to muzzies because “ its not in their religion” to pay interest. But too bad if you are white.
That can't be completely correct. Because if it is, there would be a very profitable interfaith arbitrage.
Mooslim kills 50 Christians:
Yawn.
“Christian” kills 50 Mooslims:
OMG!!!!
Whilst being spot I in his assessment, he’s toast. Sad friggin’ state of affairs.
Wonder if his bank account received a sizable infusion within the past year and I suspect the same or that he converted and this is sect upon sect violence
The guys a killer....I frankly don’t care why he did it....he’s no different than any of those who kill in mass. They all have a lust for blood and violence.
Wow, I can’t believe someone in high office actually said that out loud.
The biggest shock in a story involving muslims and mass murder is that for once, they are the victims.
The whole thing is something out of Antifa’s playbook and the side note of the comment about President Trump and “white supremacy” was very bizarre and almost to good to be true for the media to wet themselves over.
OK get your flamethrowers out but this is the way I see it. Islam is partly to blame for this violence. If Islam is the peaceful religion it is claimed to be then why does not Islamic leaders consistently condemn the violence perpetrated on non-Muslims by extremest segments of the religion? Their tacit acceptance of the violence of groups like the Taliban and ISIS tarnished every Muslim with a violent message.
Easily solved:
Import more Muzzies so there is no danger of running out.
Other Kiwis can volunteer as Human Shields, enough of 'em should prevent injury to those Peaceful Muzzies.
False flag aimed at US gun owners, and Trump.
Well maybe they should not have allowed members of the Islamic cult into the country in the first place. The shooting was horrific and should not have occurred and is completely unacceptable or justifiable. But, still, there is a war underway and Islam is the enemy.
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!
One of their names for it is “murabaha” or cost-plus. They simply add a premium to the principal or sale price. It’s pre-paid interest. They’re fooling themselves by pretending they are not paying interest. It’s a form of self “taqiya”.
It doesn’t matter - the murder of innocents is not defensible. Period. Murder does not equal war. This wasn’t a war between these worshippers and New Zealand or Australia.
Own goal is known in military circles as a “false flag” operation, a term from naval history where ships raised their enemies’flag and attacked another partisan to start a war. This is what we have here.
Starting to look like a leftist killed 40 people as a publicity stunt to make Trump look bad and promote open borders.
For all the prep, bombs and arsenal the ex communist fascist had , Im outraged it was only a paultry 40 trophies.
