Tarrant's descent from country town underachiever to accused assassin

Brenton Tarrant on Saturday appeared in the Christchurch District Court charged with murder over the massacre of 50 people at two mosques in Christchurch.The appearance was brief but time enough for Tarrant to flash a white power symbol in court. No application for bail was made and Tarrant was remanded in custody without plea to the High Court in Christchurch on April 5.Advertisement

Tarrant attended Grafton High School where he obtained qualifications in fitness. A past teacher told the ABC that he was far from being a model pupil. He talked also of going to see the band Tool. He'd been south and visited the snow, hot springs and had become a "wine, mead and cider aficionado" and had tried to spot whales.

From what he could remember, Tarrant used an AR-15 and hunting rifle while practising at the range. Anyone with a standard firearm licence could own an AR-15, but there were limits on the way they could be configured, he said. It has also emerged that Bulgarian officials are investigating a trip made by Tarrant to eastern Europe four months ago.Prosecutor-General Sotir Tsatsarov has spoken after a special meeting of security, intelligence and law enforcement chiefs called in Sofia by Prime Minister Boiko Borissov.

He had hired a car and travelled on a route from Sofia via Pleven, Gabrovo, Bachovo, Kazanluk, Blagoevgrad and Pernik, including other places in Bulgaria, the"From Bulgaria, he had flown to Bucharest, from where he rented a car and went on to Hungary."Ardern confirmed that Tarrant had travelled around the world with "sporadic periods of time spent in New Zealand".

ebooktim sarah_keoghan *terrorist. Not assasin🤦🏻‍♂️😷🙄

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Doesnt every man, criminal or otherwise, start out as a schoolboy?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Stop talking about him as if he were an innocent little angel. Your framing is not helpful and it’s disrespectful.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Stop mentioning his name. He is ‘the accused’ or ‘alleged perpetrator’. Forget his name and don’t give him the notoriety he sought. I don’t care what is motives were. We do not need to hear anymore about him.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan I can't remember when was the last time a tabloid or news outlet posted cute pictures of a mass murderer. Is it because this is a white guy so we need to draw a line of defense that he was once ''angelic' as compared to non-whites who are bad by birth? auspol ChristchurchAttack

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Week politicians

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Report the truth

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Argggh MSM please stop feeding him and his ilk this is the type of infamy they seek.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Here's a clue …

ebooktim sarah_keoghan moreover, he IS the assassin - not just accused - as if through some legal manoeuvring he will be acquitted. He said he was going to do it, he did it and live streamed it. What more do you want? Pfft!

ebooktim sarah_keoghan you are looking for justification for this horrible terrorist’s actions? Really? Did you do that when a non-Anglo terrorist committed a similar crime? You and the rest of the media have equal culpability. Shame on you and your editors that allow such vomit to be published.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Having his arse too close to the ground

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Here’s a better headline: “Hate filled loser destroys lives of others”

ebooktim sarah_keoghan If he were anything but a white guy would you be telling us about his childhood?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan He had to lay the blame on someone, I mean it's everyone else's fault that he is an idiot with no prospects?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Hitler was also a school boy.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan İgnorance is the biggest enemy in the world atm.What a pitty to see brainwashed maniac do not even know about anything.Good education must come first otherwise we will see a lot like this.We must read a lot of books to educate ourselves.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Mass muderer was a young, impressionable 6-year old when JohnHoward became PM. All he has seen & heard are vile anti-Muslim, pro-white political sloganeering by COALition & its right wing media apologists. Why should it surprise he turned out that way? Perhaps more are hidden!

ebooktim sarah_keoghan This bastard , a monster massacred our community people with enjoyment. But I can see their are lot of sympathies still exist . Why not announce a war rather then hiding behind diplomatic words ? Clash of civilisation will take us nowhere but destroy civilian values worldwide

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Mass murderer or terrorist? Which is it?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan ‘Schoolboy’? Why are you trying to humanise a terrorist? Double standards....

ebooktim sarah_keoghan It is so telling that the Australian media is focused on the details.of the perpetrator's life, adding tonhisndesired notoriety, rather than the details of the victim's lives.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Sarah are you allowed to comment against the Prime Minister or does being part of channel 9 mean Costello stops you?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan How does a 28 year old white nationalist Australian terrorist kill innocent men, women and children in a place of worship? 👏FIXED 👏 IT 👏 FOR 👏 YOU 👏

ebooktim sarah_keoghan His parents?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Grafton is a red neck town - racism and DV are rife

ebooktim sarah_keoghan People like Morrison, Hanson and anning did.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan I hear he was a baby once. That's right, a BABY.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan The damaged he brought to Australia, no one ever must have.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Who gives a fuck!!!!!!

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Think you mean terrorism, and anti-Australian right wing terrorists like Hanson and Anning are the ones who encouraged him.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan It hardly matters what turned him into an alleged mass murderer. There is no turning back the clock and no mental health professional or forensic psychiatrist can ever predict mass murder by knowing what makes a psychopath tick.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan So he was a schoolboy? Stop the farken presses

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Who cares, stop the publicity for this cold blooded murderer

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Just a mentally ill, lone wolf I spose

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Hate

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Good, his head is blurred. Deny this guy the notoriety he so desperately craves.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Murdoch.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan can you use the word “TERRORIST” already smh

ebooktim sarah_keoghan We need to inspire our young people keep them engaged and encourage them to have a voice and artistic freedom. Otherwise they will seek out unhealthy and violent support systems.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Wow, he is truly such a useless human that 'schoolboy' is his only achievement.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan So why is his face blurred? we all know who he is?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Perhaps the media and politicians and police ought to be truthful about who and what he supports, he's not right wing, he is a communist! His manifesto states: 'the nation with the closest political and social values to my own is the People's Republic of China'-that's COMMUNISM

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Why was this story run? Why? The belief that we can somehow understand the hideous, horrendous violence by looking at the life of the callous, vicious killer is wrong. This white man deserves to be ignored, not given pages & pages of print space & its = on other platforms.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan A “school boy”, are you fuckin kidding me?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Who cares. Stop giving this cretin notoriety.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Why publicise this scumbags life story? He’s a mass murderer and needs to feel the fullest force that the law (which will be inadequate). I’m more interested in the stories of those whose lives he cruelly took. Not quite as bad as Sky showing his video but come on media ffs!!

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Climate change &TonyAbbott &Donald Trump are to blame🙃🙃

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Did he enter NZ on Jacinda’s watch?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan I don’t care to hearanything about this WhiteSupremacist scum! I do care about the victims and their families! ChristChurch

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Everyone was a schoolboy at one stage, what makes it noteworthy here?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Fake and exaggerated racism spread by the Murdoch media probably.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan NeVermuCh gud at skool, leaf Is booring wen adult life begins & yuo relize that's all their is too being mee on this planeat and will AVE nothin of thems gud stuff, hot chicks, farst cars, mansions, the bling bling mate, but I gotta be speshell somehow in this won life. - the him

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Told us nothing new

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Why do we get to hear about him and his 'struggles' when the actual victims' backgrounds will barely get a few lines of news print?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Fundamentalism is so attractive and our politicians fuel it

ebooktim sarah_keoghan White supremacy preached, repeated and publicised over and over then role modelled by those in positions of power. This isn’t rocket science, it’s hate that has been allowed to exist and protected. Media need to take responsibility for their role.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Let me guess. Racism?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Assassin? Assassin?!

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Not very much help in understanding him at a deeper level.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan You too? He's a terrorist, start calling hom what he is

ebooktim sarah_keoghan 'Little interest in education' is probably the first clue.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan “Australian born terrorist kills 50 men woman and children”

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Weak headline SMH 👎🏼

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Love how he is apparently Australian. Lived in Europe lived in NZ but is Australian

ebooktim sarah_keoghan He already told you the answer in his manifesto. But no please continue try to paint him as a normal kid

ebooktim sarah_keoghan irresponsible journalism disrespectful those killed Trying 2 empathise with terrorist U don't do that Look at comments on here & the ones who support that terrorist those commenting like its a war against poor old white ppl, that's what's responsible, sociopathic white supremacy

ebooktim sarah_keoghan I think the term you're looking for is 'terrorist'.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan What turned this school boy into a 77 year old pedophile?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan John Howard is responsible for a far larger mass murder in Iraq

ebooktim sarah_keoghan School boy? Stop SMH. Stop trying to soften this terrorist’s image. Stop trying to arouse sympathy for him because he’s white. STOP !

ebooktim sarah_keoghan TERRORIST BRO... SAY IT. TERRORIST FFS

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Stop trying to humanise him. Everyone went to school. Not everyone turned into a murderous white supremacist.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan “School boy” Why not say newborn child or something else that diminishes the fact that this adult male is wholly responsible for his actions. He is a murderer full of hate not an ex-schoolboy.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan So its a lone wolf mental illness sufferer after all ?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan A widdle innocent 'schoolboy' Ffs SMH every male in Australia has at some time been a school boy.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan I think the underachiever bit might just be a small clue? Pretty famous now. Awful awful awful.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan Answer:- The Islamification of Europe. He said so himself in his manifesto.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan You wouldn't do a story like this if it was a person of colour, so why excuse the behaviour of a white person?

ebooktim sarah_keoghan FFS, every adult male killer was once a schoolboy. Drop this nonsense.

ebooktim sarah_keoghan . Lack of respect for his culture?

Tarrant's descent from country town underachiever to accused assassinWhat turned a schoolboy with, in his own words, a regular childhood and little interest in education into the 28-year-old accused of the worst mass murder perpetrated by an Australian? Terrorist. Call it what it is. TERRORIST - it’s really not that hard to call him for what he is I really don’t think it was necessary to include the name of the sister AND the name she goes by on Facebook considering she, one would assume, is an innocent bystander to all of this. I’d think that ought be a bit of an ethical no-no.
