It was all caught by the camera as he went about his terrible mission, and live-streamed, so people could watch him at work, so to speak. And watch they did

It was 35 years ago that the Canadian anthropologist Elliott Leyton sat down to write the “acknowledgements” for his book, Hunting Humans, that was first published two years later, in 1986.

Rather, Leyton says, “they can only be fully understood as representing the logical themes in their culture — of worldly ambition, of success and failure, and of manly avenging violence … they can only be accurately and objectively perceived as prime embodiment of their civilization, not twisted derangement.”

An older man, atop a pile of other people and caught against a wall of the mosque in a corner, appeared to be alive when Tarrant shot him, whether this was for the second time, and he was either missed or wounded the first go-round, wasn’t clear. And watch they did: 8chan, an anything-goes platform of the dark web where Tarrant appears to have also given friends a heads up about the attack , was filled with exclamations of anonymously posted delight, from those who had gone to Facebook to watch, that this was real.

Users on other social media sites such as Twitter and Reddit copied the footage, posted and “shared” it to such a degree that even after Facebook tried to remove it, the massacre remained all over the internet for hours.

blatchkiki curious if you have any second thoughts on your piece when Jordan Peterson spoke Queen’s and a young woman was arrested because she spoke out about him promoting hatred?

Has Blatchford admitted she is a racist ? The MSM has to STOP using words as this

Take his picture down. Giving him a face gives his beliefs a face. you should know better

If money was poured into mental health like it should, maybe these incidents could be prevented.

the 9/11 culture

Please stop printing his name or picture or manifestos. These Terrorist assholes’ shouldn’t be given any publicity. Concentrate on the victims and there lives.

The scumbag specifically stated that the attack was designed to stir up hate in right vs left identitarians and to bait the media. So he is getting exactly what he wanted. Good job.

Everything is a product of our culture. You are spewing nonsense.

He's a product of the fakemedia, which you are a huge part of. Fakenews. Lies. Cover-ups. YOU are complicit.

Muslim shoots up a gay bar: ‘This has nothing to do with Islam!’ Crazy white dude shoots up mosque: ‘this is all because of straight, white men!’

It's not just a mass murder. It was a terrorist attack. At least pretend you care the 49 people were killed by a terrorist.

Read the NP comment section on this massacre and you’ll see that culture first hand. KKKons and Klanbertans are either claiming it was a false flag or cheering the deaths of innocent Muslims. You can see the online radicalization of future rightwing mass murderers in real time.

Canadian culture? WTF?

Product of forced & unwanted multiculturalism, diversity, mass immigration from developing world. If polls show large chunk of the population year after year don't want this yet leaders keep forcing it then leaves host population left with little choice but to defend themselves.

You can’t serve 2 masters. He served the wrong one. But don’t dare blame this on national pride. This is not a product of that. This is a product of evil. The world will never agree on everything. But no one should not use violence unless it’s defense. Don’t behead others either.

Wickedness has only one nation, whether their background comes from ISIS or KKK

I view this guy as a Hero 🙏🏼 Well done sir.

Like the people who did this?

By showing his picture & using his name, you reward him for the horrible, despicable thing he has done. Be better... don’t make him a hero to the pigs that will now praise him.

If our Government is consistent then this man would be repatriated and read poetry. Don’t forget the 60+ ISIS fighters Trudeau let back into Canada. They raped women and children, sold them into slavery, beheaded and burned people.

Why are we still seeing his picture, stop sensationalizing him, the guy is a monster

The National Post's comments section is full of apologists and whataboutism regarding this massacre.

White supremacists cause horrific acts and hurt many !

A product of the media. No one loves mass shootings more then the media. Thats where you get all your ratings and line your pockets while you feign moral outrage yet spend every 2 mins saying their names and listing their demands

Product of conservative culture

Nope. No. Wrong.

Nope is right. Are we responsible for ethnic cleansing where Christians are being wiped out in other countries as well?

Not my culture

nope

New Zealand manifesto resembles Norway mass murderer's textThe manifesto that the presumed New Zealand shooter published is shorter and 'more sloppy' than the one written by a Norwegian right-wing extremist who killed 77 people in 2011, but expresses similar sentiments, a Swedish terror expert said Friday. You guys are also going to post this video, right? Or are you unawares of Mr. Rogers' advice from his mother, 'Look for the helpers.'? Posting this guy’s name, picture or manifesto encourages other extremists to use the same tactics. Shame on you!

Christie Blatchford: Liberal sheep may be ready to move on from LavScan, but I’m notI am reminded of the Gomery inquiry. Quid pro quos, greasy influence over civil servants, too much power in the PMO: It all seems awfully familiar, doesn’t it? Disgusting. Perhaps more so by the sheeple who willingly turn a blind eye. I hate to judge a person by their looks but that guy looks like a total scumbag. Who own's the Nat. Post again.. :] Yeah, completely understand.. :)

Christie Blatchford: Judgment against SNC-Lavalin affirms the need for an independent attorney generalLikely, the government never imagined an AG would put principle over the crass political MeFirst interests of Team Liberal Maybe that's where JWR should have started instead of launching a flame thrower on the LPC. The fact that the AG isn't an independent post shows how flawed and out dated the British Parliamentary system really is. Like the clerk of the privy council wernick...no thanks
