This was not a mentally deranged dude. This is a well planned attack with him posting photos of the weapons in Twitter etc. This guy is a terrorist. A white nationalist terrorist.
This is definitely more than just 8chan trolls. people say stupid shit all the time but this is a whole new level of evil.

How are the gun control regulations in NZ like?
Not easily available. You need a hunting licence to own a gun.

Crime isnt high on people's agenda with the exception of Auckland. Folks in some places dont even lock their doors at night.

Surely people who call someone hero or wish "godspeed" for something like this can get charged with hate crime laws? No? If not these things need to be updated ASAP.

RIP to all the victims :(

The team was en route to the mosque for Friday prayers at the time of the attack but escaped to the nearby Hagley Oval. They are currently in lockdown at their team hotel.
Thank god they managed to escape. Correct decision to call off the final Test Match.

I'm reading it's 2 mosques, not just one, and also explosives were found.

This is obviously well coordinated terrorism.

Editing my own posts.
But the left is just as bad guys. I know the Right has literally killed hundreds already, but I saw a video about how Antifa were gonna wear black and shout at people
i think they split over moderation policies about child porn, 4chan was suppressing free expression.

Agreed. They're literally encouraging it and should be treated as terrorists as a result.

Really sad to hear about this one. Hopefully they have caught everyone involved already.

The whole live streaming and internet idiots encouraging these acts is just vile.

So basically you need to be a deranged scumbag in order to own a deadly weapon? Makes sense.

Sometimes, hunting is necessary like population control of certain species. It’s not all about trophy hunting, sometimes it’s a service.

No. Countries like Australia and New Zealand with many introduced species, have significant pest issues such as wild cats, dogs, rabbit and kangaroo's that are detrimental to other flora and fauna. Therefore hunting licenses are provided to farmers and other individuals for the purposes of culling these animals to ensure that they arent overrun.

They are not hunters in the sense of what the public perceives such as those dickheads that go over to Africa, but is necessary part of the agricultural industry.

So someone just told me that 8chan(where this person posted) was a breakaway forum of 4chan after some were unhappy that 4chan banned child porn. Wow. Just wow.

I know you'll get some shit for this, but I understand exactly where you're coming from.
He wont cop shit. Its an ill-educated perception that he's more than likely been fed through popular culture, rather than a somewhat dirty side of farming that gets swept under the rug. Do you want to know that for wheeties you ate this morning, a farmer went and shot 200 rabbits to ensure they didnt decimate his yield? Or that lamb you ate for lunch, a farmer shot 3 wild dogs to ensure they didnt kill his sheep?

I hope he and anybody else that doesn't know about this side of hunting can understand that its not all about the trophy.

At the very least governments should be shutting down the websites these people use to spread their ideologies in the same way they shut down ISIS propaganda sites.

I have seen the footage from the khunt himself, it is horrible. No punishment will ever match what he and his khunt associate's deserve.

I agree with this, or at least monitor them. There have been a whole series of incidents with people radicalised on this shit.

Hunting makes you a scum bag? Or are you erroneously conflating trophy hunting endangered animals with people hunting deer, ducks, etc for food? You realize we’re carnivores right? Some of us hunt and eat what we kill. I would tell you what you clearly are, but you strike me as the type to run to a moderator over your hurt feelings.

Let me blow your mind even more and tell you a videogame publishing company, that also publishes childeren's games for Nickelodeon, thought that was the perfect place to host an AMA: https://venturebeat.com/2019/02/26/thq-nordic-ocean-marketing/

Fyi: This place has been delisted by even Google for how extreme they are and this THQ company put a direct link to that site an entire fecking day before taking it down.

The videogame scene is ground zero for breeding these kinds of psychos and some companies are dropping all pretense and have begun to court them either explicitly or with a wink and a nudge.

Is it just me or anyone thinks that white supremist groups should be classed as terrorist groups?

It's impossible to police the internet though. You could shut down 8chan tomorrow but that doesn't mean all its members stop using the internet. They'll just find a new home and start over. The fight against piracy has proven that it will be a never ending battle. I think the best they can do is monitor these sites and educate parents.

A reporter at the scene said when he arrived at that mosque someone was lying on the ground across the road being helped.

“There was one really quite disturbing incident five minutes ago,” he said. “A guy pulled up in a van and shouted ‘I’m here to celebrate’ and then drove off. People were pretty disgusted at those comments.”

He said police chased after the van.

I wonder if those were the others arrested.
