Defiant New Zealand mosque attack suspect charged with murder A right-wing extremist who filmed himself on a shooting rampage that left 49-mosque-goers dead flashed a white power gesture as he appeared in a New Zealand court on Saturday.

Australian-born 28-year-old Brenton Tarrant stood in the dock wearing handcuffs and a white prison smock, as the judge read a single murder charge against him. A raft of further charges are expected.

The attack on the Al Noor and Linwood mosques has been labelled terrorism by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and is thought to be the deadliest attack directed against Muslims in the West in modern times. The last comparable mass shooting in New Zealand was almost three decades ago, and the annual murder rate is usually around 50-people for the entire country.

He live-streamed footage of himself going room-to-room, victim to victim, shooting the wounded from close range as they struggled to crawl away in the main Christ church mosque.Commissioner Mike Bush hailed the “absolute bravery” of both police and members of the public “who put themselves in harm’s way” to apprehend the suspect.

How did he film himself

Hiding his face because he’s white huh?

Why does the media always cover the face of someone who did wrong ? Why protect them?

Why cover his face?

Why they hide his face

If it was a Muslim who did this, he would have been name a terrorist instead of “mosque attack suspect”. What a sad state the world is in.

How does anyone know if this dude is far- right or just totally crazy?

It starts by keeping old regimes flags, keeping many guns, living alone as race and ethnic group and worse having leaders who ignores the signs and become passive. We not far from NZ I’m telling you!

Animal this one mxm

Are they going to interrogate him? Question him and ask him if he has any outside connections? Quantanamo bay🤔? Or is it just showing the world 'OK we made the arrest'. I'm sure he has 'connections' oh I did forget one thing though,nothing will happen to him because hes white.

His next meal should be his last. Poison the bastard.
