This is pretty bad
(Fox News) One person has been charged in connection with a “well-planned†terrorist attack that killed 49 people and injured dozens more in two New Zealand mosques on Friday, authorities said.
The New Zealand police said four people — three men and one woman — were in custody in connection with the mass shooting at both places of worship in the city of Christchurch. The charged male suspect is expected to appear in court Saturday, Police Commissioner Mike Bush told reporters at a news conference. He said the principal suspect was a 28-year-old Australian-born citizen who earlier claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said none of the suspects were on any security watch lists.
“These are people who I would describe as having extremist views, that have absolutely no place in New Zealand,” Ardern said.
He supposedly posted a wacko, rambling, 73 page manifesto online, which no one seems to have a link to, at least that I’ve found, that references ““To take revenge for Ebba Akerlund [a victim of the Stockholm terror attack].”
Of course this has happened
(Newsbusters) Minutes after news broke of a tragic shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand (at what ended up being at least two mosques) during the second hour of CNN Tonight and with almost no information for the shooter or shooters, Intercept columnist Mehdi Hasan claimed that “far-right terrorism†was on the rise in the United States and blamed President Trump for attacks both here and abroad.
After listening to New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern deliver a press conference on the shooting, Hasan was the first guest host Don Lemon went to and cited his guest’s Muslim beliefs.
“And I think to kind of talk about the story we talked about before in terms of Trump’s rhetoric as well. Western government has turned a blind eye to domestic terrorism, to domestic far-right terrorism,†Hasan proclaimed.
Hasam continued blaming Trump. And there are plenty of people on Twitter linking/blaming Trump, as you’d expect. Also, blaming gun supporters in the U.S.
And, of course, this twit had to hit the keyboard
this is incredibly insensitive to my muslim brothers and sisters who were slain in cold blood while they were literally praying because they want to be closer to their creator and they want to become better people. https://t.co/uq9VzofTsN

She went on to attempt to shift the discussion to the U.S. with several tweets about “hate” in our own communities. And she retweeted one blaming/linking Trump
