Christchurch mosque shootings: the heartbreaking hearing

[Mister Agenda]

I presume you mean the culture of democracy, freedom and capitalism.
I just remembered, you don't have that over there How's that working out for you: dunno:

Not the topic.
Our topic is about this terrorist maniac who was motivated -explicitly- by the extreme branch of non-Muslim ideology.

Anything to say about him ? his motives? his extreme views?

He should be sentenced appropriately for what he DID, not what he THOUGHT; which is what happened. The place to combat his thoughts is in the marketplace of ideas.

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.

It's a truism that a lone actor who radicalized himself is not the same thing as a large group recruited and indoctrinated. As I've pointed out in the context of religion, it's not a delusion to believe what every one important to you believes and taught you from childhood. Dylan Roof is a different matter from, say, the Lord's Resistance Army. And mental illness is not an excuse for mass murder, you still wind up locked up.
