Dozens of victims in shootings at 2 New Zealand mosques, 4 suspects in custody
New Zealand police have defused several improvised explosive devices found attached to vehicles in Christchurch following mass shootings at two mosques that left 49 people dead.
That's totally crazy. This most be one of those times in which there's something 'in the air', cause there was a school shooting two days ago in a school in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with some 10 people dead, mostly students. That was two shooters, and the one in NZ was at least 2 shooters too, apparently, so in that respect they are 'atypical' (not the usual 'lonely wolf').
On the same day of the Brazil shooting, a school in Nigeria collapsed with around 100 children inside.
An oil container in Venezuela exploded; the government says it was an 'attack'. Yesterday, a gas pipeline exploded in Iran.
Also, Israel bombed 100 objectives in Gaza last night.

I heard this just earlier this afternoon, the article is up on SOTT too. This is just so cowardly and devastating, my heart goes out to all the people that were there and my deepest condolences to the families of the victims. From what I can gather, the suspect has been arrested but was not on any watch list, and yeah you are right Windmill Knight, it doesn’t seem to have the same lone gunman usual BS narrative to it. Not yet anyway, I’m sure the spin doctors aren’t far away though. Not too sure about the gun laws in NZ, but how was he able to procure such an arsenal of weapons? Military connections? Greenbaumed?
The versions I've read in Spanish seem to start focusing on the one shooter who apparently video-streamed the act via FB, so maybe later they'll say it was just him. But the version that Gawan posted above suggests at least two; one described as wearing a bullet proof vest and the other camouflage gear, seen in the other mosque. The FB shooter at some point of the stream pointed the camera towards him and he's wearing black - not camouflage.
Also, it's not clear to me the timeline - could the same guy have gone to one mosque and then the other? Or were the attacks simultaneous? We also still don't know who the four detained suspects were or why they were arrested.
Mass casualty shootings like Christchurch are both extremely sad and disturbing, and have become almost commonplace in Western nations, the direct result of the 17- year long US 'war on terror'. Until now, NZ has been viewed by many Europeans and Americans as a 'safe haven' - a beautiful little slice of 'the West' without any of social chaos. That illusion has now been shattered. No one will be allowed to "escape".
Details about who was involved are still being sorted out, but it's very likely there was more than one shooter given the numbers of dead and injured and the fact that the shooting happened at two mosques 5kms apart at almost the same time (1.45 -1.50pm local time). Many such shootings involve initial reports of more than one shooter only to later to be reduced to a 'lone wolf'.
Here's one example of a report of multiple people involved at the al-noor mosque:
"A woman told the Christchurch Star she lay in her car near the mosque as four to five men came running towards her.
She was unsure if they were gunmen. Moments earlier she heard what she thought was gunfire.
"When the noise got louder I saw four or five men running. I put my seat down and lay down so they wouldn't see me."
A report from the Linwood mosque:
"A well known Muslim local chased the shooters and fired two shots at them as they sped off.
He was heard telling police officers he was firing in "self defence".
"They were in a silver Subaru," he told police."
In addition, at least one person appears to have been shot at a third location, in the Papanui area of Christchurch, about 6kms from both Mosques.

Harrowing first-person footage, apparently from a camera worn by a gunman as he attacked the Al Noor Mosque in the center of the city, was streamed on Facebook, a grim development in terrorism that raised questions about the ability of global tech companies to block violent content from spreading around the world.

Christchurch Mosque Shootings Were Partly Streamed on Facebook
Shooting at Al Noor Mosque
A 17-minute live video posted to social media appears to show the shooting at Al Noor Mosque, one of two shootings on Friday. The clip, which begins behind the wheel of a car, may have been taken from a helmet camera worn by a gunman.
The video shows him driving away six minutes after the first shot. The gunman parked in the alley next to the mosque, according to his live video.
Deans Avenue - He opened fire at Al Noor Mosque.
South Hagley Park - Resumed firing outside the mosque Re-entered mosque and began firing Shot a bystander.
First shot fired - Parked - Exited mosque - Left mosque - Drove away - Got new gun from his car 1 minute later.
The gunman’s live video shows him driving away six minutes after the first shot.
The shootings were first reported at about 1:40 p.m., around the time of the midday Friday prayer, when the Al Noor Mosque and the Linwood Mosque, about three miles east, would be most busy. Minutes earlier the manifesto appeared online.
The document named both mosques, and links to it were posted on Twitter and 8chan, an online forum known for hosting message boards with extremist right-wing discussions. The 8chan post included a link to what appeared to be the gunman’s Facebook page, where he said he would soon broadcast live video of the attack.
The video of the attack, which appeared to be recorded on a helmet camera, showed the gunman driving to the mosque and then opening fire even before he entered the building. For nearly two minutes, he shoots at fleeing worshipers before he leaves, runs back to his car and swaps weapons.
He then is seen re-entering the mosque and opening fire again, methodically moving from room to room and shooting into piles of bodies slumped on the green carpets. Several victims can be seen in the footage, many lying on top of one another motionless in a corner of the room.
After another few minutes, he leaves again, gets in his vehicle and drives away, pausing occasionally to fire at pedestrians and talking to himself throughout. “There wasn’t even time to aim, there was so many targets,” he says at one point.
The police in New Zealand said they were working to remove the video from the internet and urged people not to share it.
Facebook said it was alerted by the police shortly after the livestream started. “We quickly removed both the shooter’s Facebook and Instagram accounts and the video,” Mia Garlick, a Facebook representative, said in a statement. “We’re also removing any praise or support for the crime and the shooter or shooters as soon as we’re aware.”
New Zealand mosque attacker's plan began and ended online
Online accounts linked to gun attacks that killed 49 people and wounded at least 20 at two New Zealand mosques on Friday had in recent days circulated white supremacist imagery and extreme right-wing messages celebrating violence against Muslims and minorities on social media and message boards.
Here's an article about the Australian shooter who has been named - Brenton Tarrant.

Awfully convenient that he left his entire manifesto online, and live streamed the event so he can be pointed to as evidence of evil white men being a danger to society.I'd bet money on him being a greenbaum type.He picked one of the most quiet and peaceful countries on the planet to carry out one of the most public terrorist acts to date.Hell he even played ''meme music'' during the live stream (alt right trolls are a danger to society,haven't you heard?).
Maybe I'm just paranoid and he really is just a nutter blowing his top,but this didn't happen in Germany or France or Italy or England,hell it didn't even happen in Melbourne where the muslim migrants are actually causing problems.Yet this Australian man chose to shoot up a quiet place in Kiwi land. Maybe somebody there wants stricter gun laws and this is New Zealand's Port Arthur? It reminds me of the (fairly recent) school shooting in america that was later used for anti gun rhetoric.
And again,the race/religion angle.He takes legitimate points from people like Mark Collette and Jared Taylor and put them all in a nice,neat little package full of sound bites that the media can run for weeks on end.This creates a mental heuristic where anyone that points out media or societal bias against whites are automatically filed under ''right wing terrorist''.
It's all so evil and so banal.

Well that's very interesting. The "Christchurch New Zealand" massacre is something that Laura mistakenly talked about in the K&B videos, actually meaning the Port Arthur Massacre.

I wonder can't help but wonder if the independent stance taken by New Zealand recently concerning the situation in Venezuela has any bearing on the matter? Perhaps the attack is an 'encouragement' to get on board with the western program? See the veiled threats by Mike Pompeo below:

Greenbaum or somebody who lost it, I think that from the perspective of the PTB it doesn't really matter, as either way they can still use the incident to push their agenda.
