White supremacist attack in NZ

[bendix 10]

I’m surprised no one has mentioned this yet. At least 40 dead and 50 injured by gunfire as two mosques were attacked my right wing extremists who actually live-streamed their attack. 

 

Utterly sickening.  I sure the usual suspects who would have been up in arms had this been a Muslim outrage are too upset to post.

It's awful, and in such a peaceable country. The silence/tacit approval from people who would have been up in arms had it been an Islamist attack is sickening.

Alright, let me just summarize the usual reaction on this forum on such topics:

- motives are not known yet, don't speculate

- it was probably an act of mentally unstable individuals

- nothing to do with religion

- we must not be paralysed by fear, we will continue to live the life that we want: free, together, and open

I think you have missed the point.

Lol, no ****. Usual excusing. Also apparently president Trump has been very quiet on the incident. His only tweet while it was happening was to the "right wing" website breitbart

Tarrant’s extremist manifesto also cites ‘Darren Osbourne’ an apparent reference to Darren Osborne who was jailed for life for his murderous attack on Muslims at London’s Finsbury Park mosque in June 2017.

It said: “I support many of those that take a stand against ethnic and cultural genocide. Luca Traini, Anders Breivik, Dylan Roof, Anton Lundin Pettersson, Darren Osbourne etc.

Another shocking attack by intolerant people, on people going about their everyday business.

49 people dead, another hate crime in ‘the civilised’ world that is rapidly beginning to fracture at the same points it did prior to WW2.

Whether anyone who carries out such an act is by definition mentally unstable is an argument for another day but what is absolutely clear is that these things don't originate in a vacuum. Nobody wakes up and decides to commit mass murder. They do it after months and years of either winding themselves up or being wound up by others into a hateful state.

White nationalist Islamophobe terrorists.

To be fair, the poster was saying that this is what others would say in response to an Islamist attack.

 

As far as I know he hasn't actually passed any comment on the attack himself.

The "For Rotherham" text written on one of the ammo clips gave me a chill.
