Terrorism comes to NZ

He didn't say TM did influence the group. So your question wasn't relevant - I just think you've misread, that's all.

Tommy as not massacred innocent people.. These right wing exsteamists have not got two clever brains to rub together... Despite what you think of Tommy, he's a very intelligent man.

OK Bodd. All I did was point out that a couple of you misread the post. The post didn't blame TR, he said that it was right wing extremists, similar to those that follow TR.

Regardless of what I think of TR, there are many right wing extremists who follow him and there are right wing extremists similar to those who follow TR in many countries. Nobody blamed TR for the atrocity in New Zealand.
 
Ellen, not point scoring but in a report I heard the perpetrated was claimed to have used an automatic not a semi auto

I feel sure the pepole in the Mosques wished that some in their midst had the means to retaliate.

Who is Ellen?

But hey, it appears you heard wrong - again...

"The guns taken from the alleged perpetrator included two semi-automatic guns and two shotguns, the prime minister said."*

His guns were legally held apparently...

Unless of course you know more than the PM of New Zealand about this terrorist incident :rolleyes:

Edit: The other gun was a lever-action firearm apparently.

So all legal, and no 'automatic'!

One man was thought to have rushed the gun man but having seen the footage myself, it appears he's trying to run by him to escape. He didn't make it.

Looks like an attempted tackle to me but he had no chance of success either way, if only someone had found his car, the boot was open and full of guns. im surprised no one in a car tried to run him down, seeing that he was shooting on the street as well.

As its a live feed and blurry you can't really see much blood, still probably best most don't watch it.

I haven't read yet how they got him, he seemed to get away, he could have gone onto another one if the is one in the city.

Edit: It seem he did go to 2

"Friday March 15, 1.30pm local time (12.30am GMT): Gunman identifying himself as Brenton Tarrant live-streams mass shooting inside the Al Noor Mosque as Friday prayers are underway. The Bangladesh cricket team were on their way to the mosque at the time.

Another shooting takes place at a mosque in Linwood, 3.5 miles to the east.


1.40pm: Police respond to reports of shots fired in central Christchurch. People are urged to stay indoors and report any suspicious behaviour. Shortly afterwards, all schools in the city are placed into lockdown.

2.10pm: Police confirm they are attending an 'evolving situation' involving an 'active shooter'

3.30pm: Two explosive devices attached to a car are found and disarmed by a bomb squad at Strickland Street, not far from the Al Noor Mosque.

4pm: One person confirmed to be in custody. New Zealand Police Commissioner Mike Bush says there have been 'multiple fatalities' at two locations - both mosques. Mosques across New Zealand urged to shut their doors.

4.10pm: Prime minister Jacinda Ardern calls it 'one of New Zealand's darkest days'.

5.30pm: Mr Bush says three men and one woman are in custody. Australian prime minister Scott Morrison confirms one of those arrested is Australian.

7.30pm: Ms Ardern says 40 are dead and more than 20 are seriously injured but confirms the offender is in custody

National security threat level is lifted from low to high.

7.45pm: Britomart train station in central Auckland is evacuated after bags are found unattended. The bags were deemed not suspicious.

9pm: Death toll rises to 49 and Police Commissioner Bush reveals a man in his late 20s has been charged with murder.

Police are not looking for any named or identified suspects, he says, but adds that it would be 'wrong to assume that there is no-one else'.

11.50pm: Investigation extends 240 miles to the south where homes are evacuated around a 'location of interest' in Dunedin."

I think you'll find that whilst they have totally warped brains, normally attacks are well thought out...

Obviously Friday prayers is a prime target, but streaming the attack and making sure that executions were broadcast was planned to outrage muslims around the world as much as possible...

Maybe...

But with a warped brain, all the same!
