What We Know So Far About the NZ Mosque Shooter

Actually, I am very very opposite of Trump.

I'm not entirely convinced. It sounds like you're selling the same con.

This thread has been derailed enough, but suffice to say that this rightwing loon has very little to do with Trump.

They are birds of a feather. The methodology may be different, but there is more than one way to skin the proverbial cat.

Brenton Tarrant: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com











So he isnt a fan of Trump, but is anti-Muslim and is an eco-fascist, and considers himself a Christian, yet says is heavily influence by Candace Owens (a black woman). Strange contradictions and an obvious sign of a madman.

It bothers me how accurate he was in some areas. Someone this demented shouldn't be rational enough to have completely predicted the left wing reaction to a T and then the right wing response.
 
PoS in his OP sums up the alleged shooter, Brenton Torrant, aptly by describing him as a Madman.

I cannot broad brush implicate Chump, the GOP party or most people with Right Wing proclivity by the terrorist acts of a single Madman.

Taking a sampling of other relatively recent Madmen:

Dylann Roof, a White Supremacist, targeted African-Americans.... 6/17/15

Omar Mateen, American-born Muslim Terrorist, appeared to target gay and gay-sympathetic bar patrons... 6/12/16

James Hodgkinson, white bread American Left Winger, targeted GOP politicians.... 6/14/17

Stephen Paddock, son of a famous bank robber, targeted random attendees of a country music concert.... 10/1/17
(out of my sampling, he killed and injured the most people)

I conclude mid-June seems like a very prevalent time slot for a mass shooting incident, along with a desire for infamy and extremely delusional thinking.

I predict Brenton Tarrant fails to incite any kind of serious war.
 
According to the AP, the shooter said he came to New Zealand just to train for the attack, and he selected the location to show that no part of the world is free from “mass immigration.” He said that he planned to kill more people at a mosque in Ashburton, if he could make it there after targeting Christchurch and Linwood. He said that while he’d interacted with many white nationalist groups in the past, he was acting on his own.
White supremacist violence is on the rise in the U.S., but Friday’s tragedy is unusual for New Zealand, a country with a low murder rate and a population of just under 5 million.

Brenton Torrent seems to have combined a lot of pre-meditated thought with a modicum of financial acumen and general resourcefulness in executing his plans.

I was referring to the mobilizing of the left wing (have a look at this site alone) and the right wing's reaction. I will admit I haven't seen the gun control threads I was predicting yet. But to be fair, we are still in the early stages where the left is desperately trying to tie this psycho to anything right wing and especially Trump.

Almost the entire thing is nonsense crazy stuff. Big shock there. Guy is a grade A psycho.
 
Its called stochastic terrorism for a reason, no one could have predicted, right.

........The other thing with terrorists—you have to take out their families........



.....Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States....

"having to take action" oh? And what action is that? Posting stuff you can nod your head too in a circle jerk? If you want to fight white nationalists, then I hope you've been in the gym often.
 
Forensic psychologist Devon Polaschek said that from the evidence of Tarrant’s PDF document she doesn’t believe he is psychotic.

"He has spent far too long ruminating on certain ideas - but those ideas are shared by others," she said.

Dr Polaschek, who is also Joint Director of the NZ Institute of Security and Crime Science, says Tarrant falls clearly into a group of young white men susceptible to "errors of thinking".

"From what I have seen he typifies a segment of the population at risk of terrorism - working class European young men, who are vulnerable to feeling redundant, and can’t engage with any of the great things happening in society."

She said Tarrant did not expect to die in the attack, and that his document has many contradictions and hypocrisies.

Brenton Tarrant inherited a small fortune from his dead father, by which he travelled around the world for seven years, including France. Probably he experienced recent terror attacks in France, which may have left him with an emotional trauma. He then plotted the mosque attacks as an act of revenge for the 2016 Bastille Day terror attack in Nice. Brenton Tarrant claimed to be a fascist but he is very similar to ISIS terrorists who also belong to a segment of the population at risk of terrorism. It was his personal crusade against ISIS which attacked Europe, in my view. He drafted the manifest based on what he gathered from various Internet chat rooms to legitimize an act of terrorism. His document has many contradictions because he plagiarized other people's ideas.

Using this logic, then the Bernie supporter who shot up the congressional baseball practice that'd be Bernie's fault, right?

I mean fair's fair, right?

Naa.

Political speech and exaggeration and political rhetoric, short of actual incitement to violence, is not responsible for the actions other people take.
Not when Trump espouses his political rhetoric, nor when Bernie espouses his political rhetoric, and some nutter shoots up a congressional baseball practice.
 
You have to give it to the NZ government - they've done what they said regarding its gun laws.

Within days of this horrendous attack they said that a reform on gun laws will happen, and have announced today that by March 25th those new laws will be implemented.

So all within 10 days of the attack.

Too bad their citizens don't have 2A. However, because of this, there isn't such an incredible proliferation of guns when the law is changed.

I don't think it will help anything, especially considering how rare these events are there. However, you are 100% right that it is very impressive how quickly they made good on their promise. Less than 2 weeks to implement a big law change is amazing.
