Christchurch shooting death toll rises to 50The death toll of the Christchurch shootings rises to 50 after a victim, previously not accounted for by police, was discovered at one of the mosques. Show us one dead body .... I dare you ! Two days on and what have we done? Let Anning spew his hate without consequence? Peddle some cowardly gun law rubbish? If this had been an Islamist attack there'd be outrage, crackdowns, and investigations. Where is the demand for that now? Double-standards seem very clear. Why are no news groups posting about Candice Owens being the guys inspiration? Is it because she's black & that doesn't fit your narrative/made up stories about him posting in white supremacist groups & being a white supremacist? Immigration policies is at fault here.
