A gunman who killed 51 Muslim worshippers last year in New Zealand's deadliest shooting will be sentenced on Thursday, after three days of emotionally charged statements from his victims in court.

Brenton Tarrant, a white supremacist, told the court in the city of Christchurch on Wednesday that he will not speak ahead of Justice Cameron Mander handing down his sentence, but will instead make a comment through a court-appointed lawyer. The 29-year-old Australian initially pleaded not guilty to all charges against him but later admitted to 51 charges of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder and one charge of committing a terrorist act during the 2019 shooting rampage at two Christchurch mosques which he livestreamed on Facebook.

Tarrant was largely emotionless through the last three days as more than 90 victims gave harrowing accounts of the attack and its traumatic impact on their lives.

White Supremacist Terrorist*

He is just SOB !!

How about 'You're a national hero and you're free to go.' That's a sentence isn't it?

متشدد إرهابي ضد الاسلام يقتل العشرات و لا منجي من العقاب في الدنيا و الاخرة إلا أمر واحد فقط يمكنه فعله ينجيه في الآخرة و نجاة عظيمة و فوز بالجنة أيضا الآمر الوحيد أنه يتوب إلي الله ثم يسلم لله و يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله و أن محمدا رسول الله ما تحاربه هو نجاتك يا سخرية القدر

It should be death!

No. The public need to see criminals' faces and know their names.

stop showing his fucking face

That vid was wild

Please show the scene or the victims or the community response- anything but the mass murderer responsible for it.

He’s the guest speaker at RNC tonight

Why show his face, why say his name? Have some decency, he did this for fame, you're literally giving a mass murderer what he wants. Be ashamed of yourselves

Why don’t you just let him to sit in the chair?

a lit bit of history

Looking forward

Probably a Trump supporter.

Death penalty please
