Conservative Candace Owens ‘influenced me above all’: New Zealand gunman
nypost ^ | 03/15/2109 | Lia Eustachewich

Conservative commentator Candace Owens was the biggest influence on the white supremacist who slaughtered 49 worshipers in two New Zealand mosques, he claims in his rambling manifesto.

Brenton Tarrant name-dropped the Stamford, Conn.-born political activist in his 74-page screed posted online before he opened fire inside the Masjid Al Noor mosque in Christchurch.

“Yes, the person that has influenced me above all was Candace Owens,” Tarrant wrote in an answer to the question, “Is there a particular person that radicalized you the most?”

“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 over meekness,” he continued. “Though I will have to disavow some of her beliefs, the extreme actions she calls for me are too much, even for my tastes.”

The manifesto is pure nonsense - he both supports and loathes Trump (which is why that meme disappeared quickly) he claims to love capitalism but thinks China has the ideal society.

If anything the manifesto makes it feel like this is a false flag plot and ultimately does what he claims to have wanted. Pure chaos and an attempt to foment a race war which liberals are happily rushing to do.

John Podesta was in NZ just 5 days before the shooting. I am thinking huge FF.

It's becoming clear that he was a raging leftist and decided to offer himself up and pose as a right winger just before going on a murderous rampage in order to get the blame on the right. In other words an actor. LARP.

Complete FALSE FLAG.

An eco-fascist, ethnostate supporter, from Australia, is influenced to shoot up a mosque in New Zealand.... by a black women in the U.S.?

A white supremacist influenced by a black conservative? WTH?

Sounds like a lefty doing dirty work to smear Conservatives.

He said flat-out that he used guns to cause a civil war between conservatives and liberals in the US.

Looking at morning posts, looks like the devil is on the prowl.. it just goes from one way to destroy to another. One man trying to do what he promised and hell rises up.

A Chinese-totalitarian-loving leftist nutcase could be “one of us”? Speak for yourself, or name the other people you are speaking for. I don’t think they are on FR, unless they are trolls.

Other comments were I’m white and I’m a racist.

Isn’t this “manifesto” just a little TOO convenient for the muzzie/leftist crowd? A little too false flaggy?

There's that "coincidence" again.

Every time the left starts gearing up for a gun grab there is a mass shooting somewhere.

Uncanny!

OK, maybe some unknown conservative should should burn down a church and claim he was influenced by Michelle Obama. See how far that gets him.

That is going to happen anyway, with Conservatives and Leftists.

Good point. Now let’s discuss what government action will most likely be called for.

1. Severe restrictions on or outright scuttling of the 2nd Amendment.
2. Severe restrictions on certain types of speech. Can you guess which kind and by whom? If not by government certainly by private institutions. Especially social media.
3. A shutdown on any discussions that raise legitimate concerns about mass illegal immigration and the people and businesses that benefit from it.

Now what side of the political spectrum desires the first and second of these, not Conservatives. And which class of persons most benefits from the third? Hint they have a lot of influence in DC and can be found in both parties.

That’s right - I thought the word was the murderer hated blacks.....

Candace Owens has never and would never support violence. In fact I think she has spoken out AGAINST the antifa and other thuggery.

This is ridiculous.

Does anybody know if the MSM are saying this about the shooter admiring Candace Owens?

I realize you know nothing about me. I watched as “Affirmative Action” gave seats in Medical School to people who had no business being there. For 40 years. I said nothing to anyone because “I wasn’t racist.” I watched many things over the decades that were wrong and said nothing because I didn’t want to be lumped in with “those people”. I even watched my country allow some 30 million illegals come here and the government do nothing. Maybe this all just means I shouldn’t be a freeper anymore because I read this guy’s “Manifesto” and about the only thing I disagree with him on is he started shooting a little too early and settled for symbolic targets. Yes, my views have changed quite a bit over the last two years. I watched “Pride Day Parades” occur and said nothing because I didn’t want to be called “homophobic” and these things happen in the country MY grandchildren live in. I’ll make a deal with you. Give me ONE PLACE to go and I’ll go there. Greenland? Iceland? Tell me the place and I’ll spend my last dime getting my grandchildren there but please don’t drag your feet.

I don’t know I would go all the way to False Flag but no one can deny it is pretty damn convenient. My prediction is the MSM announces Mueller is done at 3:17 PM (it IS Friday, after all) and the libtards won’t even notice their disappointment because now they have this.
