New Zealand Shooting Live Updates: 49 Are Dead After 2 Mosques Are Hit
Forty-nine people were killed in shootings at two mosques in central Christchurch, New Zealand, on Friday, in a terrorist attack that Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern described as “an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence.”
4 people in custody, one charged with murder.
They were unknown to NZ and Aussie police.
Reporters on CNN are saying they watched some or all of the 17 minute video made by the killer, a video of his killing spree, posted on social media.
Why?
Before the shooting, someone appearing to be the gunman posted links to a white-nationalist manifesto on Twitter and 8chan, an online forum known for extremist right-wing discussions.
The 8chan post included a link to what appeared to be the gunman’s Facebook page, where he said he would also broadcast live video of the attack.
The Twitter posts showed weapons covered in the names of past military generals and men who have recently carried out mass shootings.
In his manifesto, he identified himself as a 28-year-old man born in Australia and listed his white nationalist heroes.
Writing that he had purposely used guns to stir discord in the United States over the Second Amendment’s provision on the right to bear arms, he also declared himself a fascist.
“For once, the person that will be called a fascist, is an actual fascist,” he wrote.
Bozo, Breitbart, and white nationalist terrorists.
Heard just now on CNN, Steve Bannon at Breitbart urges people to read "Camp of the Saints", as Pat Buchanan used often to do.
I once tried to read it but I could not get through it.
A racist nightmare dripping with hate.
