I’ll use the logic below to describe why Trump is responsible for political violence:

“Perhaps if the liberals running New Zealand didn’t admit so many Muslims, they wouldn’t see this type of violence”

I’m not saying that I agree with the above (obviously it’s the killer and the killer only), but I see the above ‘logic’ being used to attack Trump supporters, such as the following (hypothetical) quote:

“There wouldn’t so much violence directed at Trump supporters if Trump didn’t run for president”

In other words, flipping the blame to others and it NEEDS TO STOP.

And apparently that gifted, thoughtful person AOC says that the NRA is to blame for this too, even though New Zealand is many thousands of miles or kilometers away from North America.

HM-m-m-m ... a white guy killing muslims ... perhaps he was just doing the job that other muslims normally do.

Muslim on muslim violence is so common that it rarely makes the news. I am inclined to believe that if the perp was muslim, we would know nothing about this event.

more last night, i even had a link to the live streamed point of view video by the gunmen... it was horrific. imagine a big room with pile of people huddled in both end. he sprays bullets into both piles back and forth, several times and near the end, goes back to ‘finish’ them off

the video/links has been scrubbed

I've been searching all morning, but I cannot find one story of how the perp got a hold on an AR style rifle and magazines well in excess of New Zealand's 7 round limit.

It's looking like Las Vegas all over again.

Images of the weapons and magazines recovered:

Whatever the cause, it will be used by collectivists and globalists to slap-down regular conservatives and call you “racist.”

More of the same

Absolutely horrible that someone would do that. Anyone that would do such an act is a hate filled evil person.

This act of terror will receive far more attention than acts of terror committed by Muslims around the world.

Are lives lost in Africa or the middle east of less value than those in New Zealand? Where is the outrage when acts of terror are against Christians in mostly Muslim nations? Here is a list of acts of terror committed by Muslims:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Islamist_terrorist_attacks

Also, this doesn’t include the random acid attacks and knife attacks.

There should be outrage against ALL acts of terror — including the one in New Zealand.

Apparently the lunatic government in New Zealand is actually inviting Muslims to move there.

Here is a quote from an article on the shooting:Ardern alluded at a news conference to anti-immigrant sentiment as the possible motive, saying that while many people affected by the shootings may be migrants or refugees, “they have chosen to make New Zealand their home, and it is their home. They are us.”

This naive official thinks the Muslims are in New Zealand to become New Zealanders. - Tom

I can’t find a single thread on this. Except this) Isn’t this huge news? Or did the West Coast miss all the excitement from earlier?

The Narrative Engineers are getting the storyline coordinated before it drops bigtime.

Among other things, the perp said he was inspired by Candace Owens, per Daily Mail...

How many mosques are in NZ?

If these 2 Mosques are any indication they have at least one in every neighborhood

Well, if you watched the video (the body-cam footage), at that one mosque only 1 guy did all that shooting ... pretty elementary, press-corps.

I’me beginning to think the press is totally unnecessary anymore.

He must have thought that writing the names of people murdered by Muslims on the weapons would prevent the news media from publishing pictures of them.

Looks like he was wrong.

And we all know who Candace Owens likes and admires, don’t we?
