Black power members have also been helping stand guard around the mosques. They probably have firearms somewhere close by, not exactly the right thing to do but these are extraordinary times.
Our prisons are unofficially run by the two major gangs, black power and mongrel mob. Word is Tarrant...
I live and work in Auckland, but home is in the Bay of Plenty, a bit north of Hastings.
I'm actually a relative of Temuera Morrison the actor who portrayed Jake the Muss. He's nothing like the character of course, I've got aunties tougher than him.
If I went into my backyard and dug a hole in a straight line through the center of the Earth, and out the other side, I would emerge about 30 kms south east of Madrid's city center. I plan on visiting the exact co-ordinates one day and planting something if possible.
Christchurch is often...
Ah, I see. Not that I was reading too much into it, I just like to take the time to understand peoples position (without too much interpretation).
BTW I made note of the number of Palestinians among the deceased, I'd like to share a simple message of support with you for the loss of so many of...
This post is interesting, I'm just trying to put it into context. Have you considered the practicalities of how this might be achieved? I realize there is a difference between 'guidance' which you refer to initially, and imposing these conditions on Western nations through the use of 'jihad'...
There are some interesting points made about what will happen to the perpetrators in jail. I don't think our penitentiary system is prepared to deal with these terrorists, we don't have an equivalent to the US federal supermax facility in Colorado. They need to be kept isolated indefinitely with...
Not yet, you're jumping the gun. There's a process to follow, the initial charges in violent offenses here are usually a legal formality to detain the suspect until investigators can gather the necessary evidence to upgrade those charges.
There were reasons by way of due legal process why the...
There has been a great deal of reporting about what was known prior to the incident, it's going to be some time before the facts are known. An inquest into the failure of our agencies to prevent this attack will shed more light, but until then I would suggest caution in making judgements such as...
Strangely enough, I've been flicking across news channels to see how this has been covered and, believe this or not, analysts on Fox News have been referring to it as exactly that.
:( Really sorry to hear about your friends father. It's good your family is safe.
I like to think our country is not racist, it's not perfect but its generally an open minded and tolerant nation. Which is why this Tarrant guy chose to conduct his attack here I suppose.
All Black and devout Muslim Sonny Bill Williams just made an emotional post on social media, he was crying in his car and I started crying a bit too watching him. I just feel so sorry for the victims who were just trying to be good Muslims, and didn't do anything to deserve being shot.
Yeah, and most of that revisionism was written by the Anglican Church about 100 years ago. Among the many Eurocentric myths espoused by the clergy was the migration of our ancestors from a Polynesian Island (later identified as Tahiti) in one fleet of giant Waka or canoes, and that we arrived...
There's an irony in him taking that position considering New Zealand was colonized by the British. My people were simply pushed aside and most of our land confiscated, less than 5% of New Zealand's land is owned today by Maori whilst we are about 15% of the population. We have more reason to...
Finally somebody referred to this as terrorism on Channel one news. 'Early indications are its an act of terrorism'.
Police now have four in custody, one woman.
Reports are he is Australian, but in a developing story facts often get misreported. And not that it makes any difference to his victims. This is just heartbreaking.
NZ police have asked all Mosques in the country to close their doors at the moment.
Browsing through that manifesto and other material, the terrorists were certainly fixated on media reports from abroad as well as coverage given locally.
And I also concede that, as has been pointed out...
I've actually been the victim of White extremism myself in the past, but I chose forgiveness rather than give in to hatred. So there isn't much I can do personally about extremism in our community, it's the Governments job to act. You do have a point though I suppose but our authorities have...
The best way to beat the ideology behind this attack is to show compassion and acceptance for each other. I do not want these terrorists to be successful in dividing people, especially here in NZ. The best way to counter this is show messages of support and love for the Islamic people in NZ and...
