Christchurch once again shows we all have a role to play against the spread of hate GlobeDebate
As the first reports emerged from Christchurch, I felt that same sense of dread when learning about the massacres in Quebec City and Pittsburgh. Worshippers were once again gunned down in cold blood.
Make no mistake – the attacks were well planned. A shooter live-streamed his murderous rampage and posted an anti-Muslim manifesto online. In the video, he encourages viewers to subscribe to a YouTube channel which, in December, was accused of promoting another user known for anti-Semitic views. One of the people arrested is a 28-year-old alleged white nationalist and self-described fascist from Australia. Explosive devices were also found in his car.
In the coming days, we will learn of the motivation of the terrorist or terrorists responsible, as well as their movements, and communications in the days leading up to the shooting. Many are shocked, given the low preponderance of gun violence in the country. Furthermore, New Zealand is a multi-ethnic, multilingual country.
