Brenton Tarrant, the accused gunman behind the horrific mosque attacks in Christchurch made a symbol with his hand in a New Zealand court. What does it mean?

The 28-year-old, who is accused of murdering 50 people during a shooting rampage in Christchurch on Friday, appeared unrepentant and smirked inside the courtroom as he gave an upside down “OK” symbol with his right hand.

The man charged in relation to the Christchurch massacre makes a sign to the camera during his appearance in the Christchurch District Court.It’s unclear how the hand gesture first became associated with white supremacists. Members of the alt-right started using the ‘OK’ symbol in 2016 and Milo Yiannopoulos was photographed making the gesture out the front of the White House that year.

“That was what the OK symbol was literally invented to do: Both serve at a white supremacist symbol and also one that is just ordinary-enough looking that when liberals expressed outrage, the white supremacist could play the victim of liberal hysteria.”wrote last year that when someone flashes the ‘OK’ sign accompanied by a smirk, “It’s not just a harmless act that can be dismissed”.

used by RW trolls to signal that they want their anal chambers plundered. tarrant wants to get raped but he's crying cuz he's in solitary confinement aUsPoL JordanHarrisEsq

It means OK?

Hes a mad lad

It means nothing. It’s just a joke.

Proves to me he has no remorse.

Looks like an upside down ok sign?

Three fingers - W and circle is P so WP means white power .. it is started with TRump.. originated from LA ... This mentality is against Muslims , Blacks , Asians , Jewish and all .. a group of sick people who thinks they are smart ! NewZealand

If it’s below your shoulders when you look at it.. it means a free hit.. (use 2 hands like this to receive 10 hits !!) Ahahahahaha !!!

Who cares?

It means news is the divisive instigator of sex, lies, scandals and riddles. Why? Makes billions.....using tools and fools to propagate hate , fear and distrust in humanity.

If you look at it two free punches

It means Zero FKS Given

Watch out for this person. She thinks it's okay for black Christians to be killed by Muslims.

Watch out for this snowflake.

Its pretty much made you all look made you a watch

It's the size his bum hole is going to be when he gets a boyfriend in prison. Then it'll get bigger.

Its a white supremacy sign as far as I know

Upside down 👌

I thought it was a yogic mudra.

Its a joke, not a symbol

It's a 4chan joke. Like milk is racist.

Online right wing racists havin a cool time bein fun in this thread!

This is the symbol of the I have the God who see everything.

The number of the beast

You got trolled

International symbol of fuckwitism

Useless ‘news’ outlet fanning the flames of division and hate

Please blur all of him out when news footage is shown. He is still being given a platform to advance his agenda

It means he has mental issues as do all the world leaders calling him a terrorist, when he is just a nutter.

As I said before, cut its hands off!

Traditionally it means all good or good to go

It's the white supremacy sign.

it's a long story but it started with the Trump presidency. Trump did the 'OK' sign with his hands during talks quite often so liberal news outlets decided to turn it into a symbol for 'white power' as OK sign could be read as 'W P' (white power). Others say it resembles '666.'

He's just showing us how big his anus will become once he's incarcerated.

How some people be so retarded to not recognize the '👌' symbol?

Illuminati..

It’s to let fellow inmates the size of his butthole.

Watch Malcolm in the Middle. He isn’t taking this seriously.

It means you've been played by a shitlord. Watch out, he might drink some milk next!

His rectum in prison

Nothing to see here, all those people I’ve pictured have just make a 3 pointer to put their team up one with 2 minutes to go in the 4th.

Usually It's the circle game when its below the waist and it means that he made you look. Stop giving the idiot the attention that he wants.

It’s the KKK white supremacy sign

He’s looking forward the bum sex but only as the receiver

It’s called the circle game children used to play. Is not a white supremacy hand sign!

Can you explain this ?

Goes both ways ? Isis salute verses 666 🤔

Why even mention what symbol he made? You muppets are giving him what he wants!

It’s the hand sign for “My penis is the size of a toothpick”.

Is it a distraction to try and pick the cuff lock.

He’s meeming. It’s just another meme. Like sub to pewdiepie and the initial d music. This is the problem when out of touch journalists write a story about memes. They don’t understand and spread more fake bs.

Looks like an 👌🏼 sign to me

It does not mean a white supremacy symbol , but by what my kids tell me , he will be whacked in the nuts multiple times .

if it's a signal why bloody publish it?

90’s kids would know

He’s indicating the estimated size of his doughnut once imprisoned.

It's the international sign of a donut... Or that silly finger circle game

His dick is only that thick and he does not feel like a man.

What does it mean? It means he’s a twat..........and that’s putting it mildly.

It means you looked at the CIRCLE so you get two punches 👌

He's trolling

Sneaky nuts

He has dirty racism

This tweet is offensive and if you don’t know what that sign means in the context in which it’s being used, don’t show it. Shame on you

Hello, American here. Please don't let your media fall into this trap. It's very clearly the 'WP' white power sign that originated in the Los Angeles area and now gets flashed in our White House regularly. Those who use it say it's 'only a hoax' for deniability. It's not.

it means he has cut a deal with the deep state to blame trump and nationalists. Hes trying to promote hate.

should be condemned for publishing the name of the disgusting perpetrator. You empower his followers by making his name heard. All media should unite by not print/say his name!

I’m nuts 👿

I've been reliably informed that it's the ball-gazer symbol made by schoolboys, and if you look at it you'll be punched for doing so!

White power, it was by supporters of that drunk wife beating child raping judge during his hearing in Congress.

Well you have now done the bidding of an alt-right terrorist. Well done. All responsible media blurred that out so no one would be asking about it.

The meaning of the symbol is offensive but pretending it doesn’t exist or keeping us in the dark doesn’t help. We need to know. A few months back there was a debate about Trump making ring signals during speeches.

It's not a eunuch symbol? 🤣

It’s just a game kids play

If you don’t know what it means, don’t broadcast it!

Honestly who is running your 2 bit disgrace of a journalistic feed You feed and fuel the fire for this piece of shit by asking ‘anything’ about why and what he does...you are as a bad as he is.

Unlike you the ABC chose not to show it. You could report on it without the picture, cheers.

The media needs to stop using that nutjob's name

He wants you to look at his tiny 666 member. This guy wants the world to burn. People are falling for it.

reason to stop plastering the name and face of the killer all over the media

The ring of fury, if you look through the ring then the ring maker gets to punch you. Needs to be below the waste line to be eligible to hit you though.

This guy is using internet culture as a tool by toying the MSM

Maybe not to spread this sign would be appropriate obviously he wanted it to go viral very responsible of you

Clearly the KKK signal

That's a real head scratcher..

its a meme check TikTok every creator on there puts it in their video

Another violent dysfunctional male ... how did alcohol impact his mental ill health? Murdoch press has been normalizing hate against Muslims for YEARS. And the ABC has been normalizing the Murdoch press for years - BreakfastNews reads out Murdoch headlines every morning and thedrumABC has Murdoch hacks on TV most nights. so what do we know about the attacker at the Linwood Mosque who killed 7 people or was it the same man. it's over 6kms away.
