(New Zealand) Christchurch mosque shooting sees armed police deployed and schools in lockdown

There are reports up to a dozen people have been injured in a shooting at the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Police have confirmed they are responding to a "critical incident".

All Christchurch schools are in lockdown and witnesses have reported multiple injuries.

The mosque was reportedly busy due to Friday prayers.

Witness Len Peneha said he saw a man dressed in black enter the Masjid Al Noor mosque in central Christchurch about 1:45pm and then heard dozens of shots, followed by people running from the mosque in terror.

Mr Peneha, who has lived next door to the mosque for about five years, said the gunman ran out of the mosque, dropped what appeared to be a semi-automatic weapon in his driveway, and fled.

Mr Peneha said he then went into the mosque to try and help.

"I saw dead people everywhere. There were three in the hallway, at the door leading into the mosque, and people inside the mosque," he said.

"It's unbelievable nutty. I don't understand how anyone could do this to these people, to anyone. It's ridiculous."..

As do secularism, abortion, drug addiction, and porneia, sans the divine dictate.

There wouldn't have been a massacre in New Zealand sans the shooting.

The poster you replied to made a cogent point. You did not.

Notes about manifesto:

1. Calls himself an eco-fascist.
2. Says Candace Owens inspired him, but didn’t, but did.
3. Says he wants the left to take the right’s guns so there will be civil war.
4. Basically a shitty 8chan poster.

Said he’s not Antifa. I don’t believe it.

Watched on liveleak.com - now I can’t find it.

Really disturbing, he murdered two dozen at least. Went back in an just kept shooting dead people. Then got in his car and sped off.

The video is from a head mounted camera.

He also says that the best political model he can think of is the People’s Republic of China. He’s a lunatic. Total fruitcake.

I was trained to learn a culture. Analyze it. Understand it. Exploit the facets of that culture to bend it to your objective. Muslim’s weakness is the sunni Shia division. Lumping them all as terrorists units them against the west. Westerners attacking mosques unites them. Hell, there are enough westerners who hate the west that this will give the progs another excuse to support the very religion that is the most oppressive to women, minorities and anybody who does not think as they do.

The problem is....this video is going to inflame all the Muslims everywhere. All the ones that are ready for jihad are not going to stay calm. This could spark mass violence.

That is a problem. There are others. Such as the frenzy of Progressive blood-dancers who will use this to further their gun control schemes.

Calls for more red flag laws (because outright universal gun confiscation won’t get through).

The SOB mentions Trump one time. So of course Trump will be blamed. He also writes that he was mostly inspired in his view point and the need to take action by Candace Owens. Now as far as I know Owens does not advocate for violence and never has. So that one comment raised a red-flag to me.

Candace is associated with Trump and pro 2nd Amendment. Signaling her out makes me believe this guy was coached by radical Leftists on what to write in his manifesto. Some of it is no doubt his own. But I think part of it is a mash up Aryan Nation/The Brotherhood talking points included as mis-direction. Sort of a Progressive’s bogeyman.

The mention of the US, especially the 2nd Amendment also tells of involvement of somebody here. And not a Conservative or even a more strident Right Winger. I almost hate to go here but to me it does have “Deep State” written all over it.

Doesn’t New Zealand have strict gun control like Australia? How could the perpetrator obtain these weapons?

It’s always the wrong ones getting killed like this. Probably some of the nicest people you could meet.

That video was the thirty seconds prior to what I saw in the other video which was only about 1:37. Looked like he had an AR which he left in the car, trunk open. The one he took with him looked like a shotgun but couldn’t be based on what I saw and heard in the longer vid.

Doesn’t matter a lot but I am curious as to what he used.

New Zealand’s gun control laws, while sttrict by American standards, are not as restrictive as those of Australia.
