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.

No, they do not. They have a right to medical treatment in a Soviet Gulag, or an American one. Of Spandau prison, for life. Nazis never surrendered, they are still in a state of war with the rest of the world, the whole world. Kind of what happens when you loose a World War, against the Whole World. So their opinions are not right, because they are crimes against humanity, as we determined by a Judicial Procedure of the International Tribunal at Nuremberg. So Nazis do not have rights to their opinion, because their opinion is a crime and an act of aggressive war, and a crime against the peace, and just really factually incorrect and stupid. This is why they need to be punched in the face, to get their attention and see if they realize what they are saying.
