| Terrorism in New Zealand. |
Mass shooting by a far-white terrorist in Christchurch. The city of Christchurch is located on the South Island and the county seat of Canterbury. It's the third largest city with a population of 420,000 residents.
New Zealand prime minister Jucinda Arden condemns the attack and promise those involved will face justice.
Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Congress, and those in the junk food media here in the United States will offer nothing but the same old bullshit. Thoughts and prayers, my heart goes out to and our sympathies.
The release of statements will offer that usual word vomit about how "the United States is the land of the free... yadda, yadda, yadda!"
But here in the United States, it's the status quo.
Nothing.
Mass shooting in New Zealand. This one in the city of Christchurch. The shooter was caught. Who actually takes the blame? (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answers)
The international junk food media is talking about one of the worst mass shootings in New Zealand's history. Two terrorists massacred dozens of innocent human beings in one of the country's largest cities.

| Muslims worshiping in New Zealand triggered this terrorist to kill. |
The reasons are known but it's likely a hate crime against Muslims. The terrorist and three others who were included in the arrest were considered far-white terrorists.
The far white terrorist managed to enter two mosques in Christchurch within a 30 minute time frame.
This scum managed to kill as many individuals as he could. He left a manifesto that singled out infamous white terrorists, the social media, the divisive U.S. politics, some sympathies towards those, many agitators here in the U.S. and of course Trump.
A 17-minute video that seemed to show the shooting was posted to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. A post on 8chan, a message board, included links to a manifesto and a Facebook page where the poster — an alleged shooter — said a live stream of the attack would be broadcast. Facebook has removed the page and the video, but the video had already traveled.

| New Zealand will likely do something about mass shootings. |
The manifesto linked to the shooting is decidedly racist. Early on, it references “white genocide,” a neo-Nazi conspiracy theory that white people are being replaced, and the 14 words, a white supremacist slogan. It also professes admiration for other white supremacist killers. The racism itself is sincere — it did, after all, lead to mass killings — but other parts of the manifesto seem to contain buzzwords meant to galvanize its spread.
For instance, though the creator of the manifesto claims to be Australian — and the terrorist in custody is Australian-born — the document contains multiple references to the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. Mass shootings in America have led to heated debate about gun laws, with proponents of the Second Amendment arguing that gun control is unconstitutional.
The manifesto, which is 73 pages long, tends toward name-dropping. It mentions Candace Owens, an American conservative pundit as well as the video games Fortnite and Spyro the Dragon. These references seem geared toward creating certain kinds of narratives in the media that will keep the terrorism in the news.
