Christchurch shootings at two mosques leave 49 dead, Australian arrested in relation to terror attack
At least one gunman with a semi-automatic weapon attacked worshippers gathering for Friday prayers in two locations: a mosque at Deans Avenue in central Christchurch and another mosque in the nearby suburb of Linwood.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed one of the people taken into custody was an Australian-born citizen.
The ABC has identified Grafton man Brenton Tarrant as the man visible in livestreamed footage of the attack.

Two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were found on a nearby vehicle, but defence force officers disarmed one and are still working on disarming the second.

El Grauniad - Rightwing extremist wrote manifesto before livestreaming Christchurch shooting
The man who livestreamed himself attacking a Christchurch mosque and murdering at least 40 people identified himself online before the rampage as Australian citizen Brenton Tarrant.
On a now-deleted Twitter account, Tarrant posted multiple photos of what appear to be machine gun magazines and a link to what is being described as a manifesto for his actions.
The 74-page document starts off quoting a Dylan Thomas poem, Do not go gentle into that good night, and then moves onto a rant about white genocide.
Tarrant outlines his motivations: including to “create an atmosphere of fear” and to “incite violence” against Muslims while offering up autobiographical details.

Killing is not justified. Anywhere. Anytime. Where the "buck stops", or should stop, is at the door of the (mostly liberal) policy makers and immigration people who have been systematically diluting "1st world western" culture since the 1960's. Anything goes as long as it makes men look stoopid, and anything to do with faith/church is pissed on openly. And as the foundations of society crumble (M.Zuckerschwein is a big part of this the last 10 years), all hell breaks loose. We don't want ghettos / enclaves like in Sweden where even their cops fear to go and the 'refugees' rule. We don't want to land up having another Hitler "cleansing" Europe and the west. We have a mess. Meanwhile, you don't see streams of people lining up to migrate TO Iran, Bangladesh, India, etc, etc. Racism is real, we all deep-down fear anyone different. Some of the source countries for migration are very racist, but once in the west they are saints in public and demand 'equality'. It is now a delicate road forward for governments that have compromised and compromised over decades to try and now define their country and look after their own 'home' interests over those set by the UN / EU and such.

This is why Montana is such a great State. They used to have bumper-stickers that said: "Gut shoot the khallows at the border!" and "Don't Californiate Montana with your contract programmers!" No racists in Montana, well, except for the Rightwing Nut-job recent arrivals from California. Twenty-acre "Ranchette", my ass!

How long have you lived there? Can't be that long. People started talking about the "American Redoubt" 30 years ago and began infiltrating across the border from the panhandle of Idaho. It sucks. I have even heard that there's a "Project Little Europe" in the vicinity of Whitefish now.
Maybe more have arrived from California, but they're far from the first.
One of these days "the Last, Best Place" will be no more.
Washington DC delenda est.

Sad to say, they've really gone down hill since. I try to help with my mental failwaves, but they're just not receptive.

Where will they migrate to once they have run Australia and NZ into the ground?
When we have people throwing grenades into homes where will they go? Canada?
