He is very, very, very sane, and practicing what his ideology taught him. Just like the ISIS militants.
Major correction to your post: the trial did happen and the sentence did come out: the terrorist got life in prison sentence:

I would chop his head instead; but NZ's land; NZ's rules though.
Wait, you think I'm excusing him for what he did on the basis of mental illness? Nothing could be further from the truth. Sorry, mate, but shooting 91 innocent people who had never harmed him in any way is manifestly NOT the act of a sane person. Being sane, stable and rational would cause you to reject the ideology that tells you to shoot people in a mosque. Or to cut the heads off of murderers.
And a court appearance for sentencing is not a trial. Tennent pleaded guilty, no trial took place. His court appearances were 'hearings', not 'trials'.

So as the ISIS militants and Osama bin Laden, but you never call them insane. You call them "terrorists" and never use the mental illness card to justify their acts, like you did to justify the act of this white "totally sane" terrorist.
The last I heard; the name of the formal "anti-terrorism campaign" was not the "anti-insanity campaign".
You can't mask the truth. And just like anti-Islam showed its ugly face, it will keep showing it again and again and soon you will run out of mirages.
Soon enough many will follow the footsteps of New Zealand in combating this cancer.
