'lf Western governments continue to ignore the growing popularity of far-right groups and individuals...then they should not be surprised the next time a mosque, synagogue or black church is shot up by a white male.' Opinion | cjwerleman
“Well, it's time to stop shitposting and time to make a real life effort post. I will carry out an attack against the invaders [Muslims], and will even live stream the attack via Facebook link,” warned Brenton Tarrant on the far-right online forum 8Chan just hours before carrying out his attack on a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, which left more than 40 dead and many more seriously injured.
He then walks towards the mosque and begins shooting. When he burst through the front doors, you hear the cries and screams of panicked and huddled worshippers, and that’s when the slaughter starts, with one-by-one executed at point blank range. In Tarrant’s own words, via an online post, he claimed he was “radicalised” by popular American conservative pundit Candace Owens, who he said, “helped push me further and further into the belief of violence over meekness.”
