How can mass murder be a political position? Hopefully I am missing something obvious here.

Disgusting and horrific tragedy.
Naomi for all he knew they were weren't they.. He didn't pop his head in like. yo, just checking there aren't any non muslims here before i attack the place
You are missing something, Jim. The description "extremist right-wing".
spath, don't be ridiculous.
Absolutely shocking and more so because it is New Zealand. When it flashed up on the news I was expecting mainland Europe.


Grumpy...cannabis?... you may as well blame the artist known as Pink.

Three were murdered outwith the mosque and may have just been passing by but more likely they were either on their way in or trying to escape from the Mosque.
I saw that. What I mean is that I reject the notion that any legitimate political position worth the name can advocate essentially indiscriminate mass murder.

Jim, //I reject the notion that any legitimate political position worth the name can advocate essentially indiscriminate mass murder. //

I haven't noticed anyone promoting that notion.

Same here, I thought I’d miss read it at first
I think what grumpy is thinking off (although I've been sarcastically mocking the cannabis idea) is the synthetic cannabis known as "Spice"

Sky News is reporting, "A man who claimed he was behind one of the attacks left a 74-page anti-immigrant manifesto."
Spath, no disrespect but a post relating to ‘ spice’ has no relevance to he original op .
//"A man who claimed he was behind one of the attacks left a 74-page anti-immigrant manifesto." //

Told you it's political.
grumpy //No I haven’t Khandro,have you?//

I've tried everything, (except incest and folk-dancing).
Latest news is that one man has been charged and three others arrested.,
Good. Well done NZ security services .
From the Telegraph's site,
'The man, who identified himself as 28-year-old Australian-born Brenton Tarrant filmed the attack on social media. Dressed in a military-style, camouflage outfit, and carrying an automatic rifle he started randomly shooting people in the Al Noor mosque shortly after 1.40pm local time (12.40am GMT).

Tarrant, who filmed himself attacking a Christchurch mosque in a Facebook Live video, posted a 74-page manifesto in which he claims to be from a “working class, low income family”.

He said he was of Scottish, Irish and English stock and moved to New Zealand temporarily to plan and train and then stayed there after deciding to conduct the attack.

“I have read the writings of Dylann Roof and many others, but only really took true inspiration from Knight Justiciar Breivik,” he wrote.'

Went onto the News site right away because my niece and family live in NZ. It gave one man's name and age and said that he was doing it as revenge for a 17 years old friend who was killed in 2017. I didn't take note of the website though.
They were putting live footage on Facebook (since taken down). Social Media helps to fuel these events and something needs to be done about it.
should anyone wish to read his rantings, they're here (for the present)

How dare he steal such a wonderful poem for his own disgusting ends.
