I did a Google maps streetview search of that mosque, and sure enough, it was the same place. The view out the window matched up.

I remember you saying that back when it took place. Good work.

That “shooting” was as fake as Obama.

I read that only a few gun owners have actually turned in their guns. Lol

The Reds and Stupids are strong in New Zealand. Been a major factor there since at least the 1970’s. If it hadn’t been for the research/writings of NZer Trevor Loudon, we would never have known how deep the KGB penetration operations went inside the government and “peace movement”.

I wonder if they have a guy named Winston Smith in the government archives, feverishly slaving away to make sure no unallowed truths slip out?

To think I would like to have moved to New Zealand if things continued to get worse in the U.S.

As bad as it is here it’s better than that socialist paradise.The people have No Rights.

“14 years for “distributing objectionable material.”

And 7 years for murder.

[Gay State Conservative]

If it's jihadis...or jihadi sympathizers...doing it then 14 years sounds pretty lenient.If it's normal,respectable people then I'd lament the fact that New Zealand doesn't have a 1st Amendment.

I saw the video....it's breathtakingly cruel and gruesome.But it didn't make me wanna go out and do the same thing...or encourage others to do so.But then again I'm reasonably normal.

Ping for later viewing

Shortly after the attacks, New Zealand’s chief censor David Shanks issued a statement announcing that the shooter’s manifesto and footage had been banned under the Films Videos and Publications Classification Act (FVPCA) 1993, an act that bans the dissemination of “objectionable” content, defined as content that “describes, depicts, expresses, or otherwise deals with matters such as sex, horror, crime, cruelty, or violence in such a manner that the availability of the publication is likely to be injurious to the public good.”

So does New Zealand also ban sex education films, Peter Jackson's early horror movies, and crime mysteries, then? Or do they just pull out this vague "law" when it suits them.
