The alleged gunman behind at least one of the mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, that left 49 people dead is described as a 28-year-old Australian white nationalist who hates immigrants. ChristchurchShooting
A self-proclaimed white nationalist behind at least one of the mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, on Friday that killed 49 people broadcast part of the attack on social media under the name Brenton Tarrant.
The 74-page document is littered with conspiracy theories about “white genocide” and references a conflict between people of European descent and Muslims. He often references the Crusades, which is a common theme among far-right extremists.
A now-deleted Twitter account with the handle @brentontarrant showed photos of weapons and equipment with the names of past extremists and mass shooters written in white. One of the names is Alexandre Bissonnette, the man who killed six people in an attack on a Quebec City mosque in 2017. Two homes were also evacuated around a “location of interest,” in Dunedin, about 220 miles to the south of Christchurch.
