Shootings at 2 New Zealand Mosques
 
Quote:

Police are responding to a shooting at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Reports suggest at least nine people have been killed. One person is in custody.

The shooter entered the Masjid Al Noor mosque 10 minutes after prayers began and let off “dozens, if not hundreds of rounds,” witness Ahmad al-Mahmoud told New Zealand outlet Stuff. He described the man as white-skinned, blond, short, and wearing a helmet and bulletproof vest.

New Zealand police say they have taken into custody three men and one woman over the shootings at two mosques in Christchurch.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called the events Friday afternoon “one of New Zealand’s darkest days.”

The shootings involved multiple fatalities but authorities have not said how many.

New Zealand Police Commissioner Mike Bush said police have defused a number of improvised explosive devices found on vehicles after the mosque shootings.

A man who claimed responsibility for the shootings left a 74-page anti-immigrant manifesto in which he explained who he was and his reasoning for his actions. He said he considered it a terrorist attack.

In the dossier, he made reference to the horrific Skaf gang rapes in Sydney in the year 2000. But his manifesto suggested he was preoccupied with rapes that had occurred in England and more recently in Germany by non-Europeans.

In particular, he referenced the sexual exploitation of approximately 1400 children in the northern English town of Rotherham in the late 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, primarily by British-Pakistani men.

Along with references to Rotherham, inscriptions on Tarrant's equipment mentioned Alexandre Bissonnette and Luca Traini, mass shooters in Canada and Italy respectively.

Rotherham was written on one of the weapons he used.

40 confirmed dead.

Australian it seems.

He had some sort of manifesto and was streaming it on social media. I read one story that he shot a young girl who ran screaming for help.

If only all the attacks on churches around the world received the same media attention.

49 innocent people have just been murdered and you choose this as a good time to come out with that crap.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

And how many people have been killed in churches and indeed mosques, prior to this. I'm trying to draw attention to those innocent victims that are never mentioned. The real "fake news" problem is what ISN'T reported.

There is a time and place...

You're quite obviously aware of neither.
