Brenton Tarrant: Before the Christchurch shooting began, a manifesto was published.
“Just a [sic] ordinary White [sic] man, 28 years old. Born in Australia to a working class, middle income family.”
These are the words allegedly written by a man named Brenton Tarrant, who shared a 37-page manifesto on his Facebook page in the hours before the Christchurch shooting.
Gunshots were first heard at the Masjid Al Noor mosque at approximately 1.40pm, where Muslims were gathering for Friday afternoon prayer. Witnesses say there were hundreds of people inside.
Reports indicate that there were several people seen on the ground outside the building and “blood everywhere”.
The horrific attack was livestreamed for 17 minutes, first on Facebook and then on Twitter, from the perspective of the gunman. Many came across the footage accidentally, and were distressed by what they saw.
“I saw it accidentally, I wasn’t sure at first what I was seeing and then I felt a wave of nausea come over me as I realised what I was seeing was the epitome of evil. I cannot stress enough how important it is not to watch it. It is not normal for us to be exposed to such brutality,” one woman told Mamamia.
“It was like watching a violent computer game at first – and it took me a moment to register that what I was watching was real,” another woman said. “As soon as it sunk in, the magnitude of what I was seeing, that I was witnessing an act of terror and hate through the eyes of the perpetrator, I felt like I was going to throw up. I shut the screen down and then I warned my colleagues not to do what I did – because I won’t ever be able to unsee that.”
Police are aware there is extremely distressing footage relating to the incident in Christchurch circulating online. We would strongly urge that the link not be shared. We are working to have any footage removed.

That footage was being livestreamed from a Facebook account belonging to Brenton Tarrant. The same man who allegedly wrote the manifesto.
Brenton Tarrant
Brenton Tarrant says he is Australian, ‘white’ and 28 years old. He has now been charged with murder.
It has been reported by the ABC that Tarrant was a personal trainer from Grafton in northern New South Wales.
The video which went live on his Facebook page earlier today, shows him entering the Masjid Al Noor mosque and firing indiscriminately.
Blocking the hallway, Tarrant made it impossible for anyone to escape. He is also seen reloading his weapon multiple times.
The man is seen eventually leaving the mosque and firing at passersby.
What does Brenton Tarrant’s manifesto say?
The manifesto published on Brenton Tarrant’s Facebook page begins with a poem about rage.
The poem ends with, “Do not go gentle into that good night.”
“If there’s one thing I want you to remember from these writings,” the introduction reads, “its [sic] that birthrates must change”.
The rambling text talks about deporting all Non-Europeans, and the supremacy of the European people.
A number of Wikipedia pages are cited, but the words themselves are nonsensical and heavily racist, referring to something he calls ‘The White Genocide’.
“Who are you?” Brenton Tarrant tells us who he is
Under the subheading ‘Answering possible questions,’ Tarrant writes, ‘Who are you?’.
He tells us he is white and was born in Australia to Scottish, Irish and English parents. He says he hardly passed classes at school and did not go to university.
“More recently I have been working part time as a kebab removalist,” he writes.
“Why did you carry out the attack?”
Tarrant writes, “To most of all show the invaders that our lands will never be their lands,” before citing ‘revenge’.
“To take revenge for Ebba Akerlund,” he writes, a 12-year-old Swedish girl who was murdered in the Stockholm lorry attack which took place in April, 2017.
The attack was perpetrated by Rakhmat Akilov, an asylum seeker from Uzbekistan.
Later in the manifesto, Tarrant identifies the 12-year-old girl as the catalyst for his own “violent attack.”
Tarrant adds that his motivation was, “To directly reduce immigration rates to European lands by intimidating and physically removing the invaders themselves.”
He goes on to answer dozens more questions about why someone would commit an act of terror.
It ends with: “Europa arises.”
The most recent reports indicate that multiple people have been murdered as a result of the attack, and at least two separate mosques were targeted.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said: “This is and will be one of New Zealand’s darkest days.”
UPDATE: Four people, three men and four women, have been arrested in association with the mass shootings in Christchurch.
Mamamia has chosen not to link to the manifesto mentioned because of its racist and highly distressing overtones.

These ass holes are no better than the Muslim extremists. He should have marched his ass to some extremist mosque in the Middle East or Africa. Shooting the moderates isn’t productive at all.Leave a comment:

I just got done reading this guy's Manifesto. He was not right wing or anti-muslim per se. He's an Eco socialist Bernie bro who picked these type of weapons to kill Muslims because he thought than it would help Break Up America by dividing us more along social, political, and racial lines.Leave a comment:

Hate speech laws would make things worse in New Zealand not better
by SB on February 24, 2017 at 10:00am
In Sweden hate speech laws are not applied fairly. It would be accurate to say that they are used solely for the benefit of Swedish Muslims. Comments that get prosecuted in Sweden under their hate speech laws include comments that object to sexual violence against women in the Quran and comments that Muslims find offensive. On the other hand calling homosexuality a “virus” and the mainstream intolerance of homosexuality being taught in Swedish Mosques is ignored as is anti-Semitism not only from individuals but from the media. Even worse than the blatant double standards is how the government is funding organisations that claim to be about combating Islamophobia but are actually linked to terrorism and invite Salafist Hate preachers and hire speakers who promote joining ISIS.Leave a comment:

It seems everyone has declared war on the "evil" white man and want to eradicate our race from the earth. I hate for innocent people to die, but something needs to happen. If we don't start fighting back, we WILL become extinct. The invaders have taken over a lot of Europe now and New Zealand has really been overrun. It's illegal to even mention the word, "Muslim" with anything negative. Something needs to be done NOW. Maybe this will start the fighting that needs to take place to save our country.Leave a comment:

Nothing ever done to Muslims equals what they do to themselves and to others almost every day. They are not compatible with a peaceful Society.Originally posted by Avery'sDad View PostLeave a comment:

It's probably in retaliation for the recent murder and torture of Christians in Syria. Oh wait, you haven't heard? Nevermind. Shhhhhhhhh!Leave a comment:
