New
Zealand Shooter Said 'Subscribe to PewDiePie' Before Mosque Massacre
(VIDEO)
15
March, 2019
Police
have arrested four people following attacks that took place in two
Muslim places of worship in Christchurch on Friday afternoon (local
time). One of the shooters wrote in a manifesto that he'd carried out
the attack to "directly reduce immigration rates to European
lands".
The
gunman who live-streamed himself killing Muslims at two mosques in
Christchurch, New Zealand on Friday appeared to be rooting for the
Swedish blogger.
In
an extremely graphic 17-minute video published on an American
internet forum, he can be heard saying "Remember lads, subscribe
to PewDiePie" as he drove to the Al Noor Mosque.
The
man, who was apparently wearing a GoPro device, then filmed himself
storming into the building and gunning down worshippers with a
semi-automatic weapon.
In
the video, dozens appeared to be wounded or deceased. According to
local media, he killed up to 30 people, with reports circulating that
a gunman opened fire at another Christchurch mosque. Police have
taken four suspects — three men and one woman — into custody.
The
man in the shocking video described himself as Brenton Tarrant, a
28-year-old Australian. His Twitter and Facebook accounts have been
taken down, but he published a lengthy manifesto shortly before the
shooting, which sheds light on his beliefs and motives.
He
described his actions as a "terrorist attack" and called
himself a fascist. In the manifesto, he said white people are failing
to reproduce and are being replaced by the "non-European
population" as a result of mass immigration — something that
he called an "invasion".
He
said he wanted to "take revenge" for Europeans lost to
terror attacks in Europe, and it appears that he was most outraged by
the death of Ebba Akerlund, a Stockholm schoolgirl who was one of the
four people killed by a Muslim asylum-seeker who drove a hijacked
lorry into a crowd in April 2017.
He
said his actions were also inspired by a 2017 trip to France, where
he was disappointed with the state of the cities; he described what
he saw as an "invasion of France by non-whites".
New
Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern condemned the shooting, saying
there is "no place" in the country for such acts of
violence. "This is one of New Zealand's darkest days," she
added. "Clearly, what has happened here is an extraordinary and
unprecedented act of violence."
