New Zealander faces maximum penalty of 14 years in prison after pleading guilty to sharing mosque shooting video.

A Christchurch businessman has pleaded guilty to sharing a livestream video that was recorded by a gunman last month as he began killing 50 people at two mosques.

Philip Arps pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing the mosque video and will remain in jail until he's sentenced on June 14. Prosecutors accused the 44-year-old of sending the video to an unknown person and instructing that person to insert crosshairs and to include a kill count. Prosecutors say he then forwarded the entire chilling 17-minute video to 30 associates.

New Zealand's Chief Censor David Shanks banned both the video and a manifesto written by the white supremacist accused of the attack, making it illegal to view, possess or distribute them.

Sharing a video= prison time.... wtf. Time for us Americans to start seeding the video to our friends In NZ. Lemme find the video and share it with the prime minister and the NZ police.

Hahaha. Stupid humans.

HONK HONK

new zealand is the mf shadow realm

CountDankulaTV I'm scared brother. Thicc hold me

His manifesto stated he used these firearm types knowing the government would ban them 🧐 The New Zealand government have therefore fulfilled part of the terrorists manifesto 🤦🏻‍♂️

They have a 'Chief Censor'? wtf?

People really need to read the article and more about the case. This guy wasn't just sharing the video there is evidence suggesting was celebrating the killings. Which is sick.

cringe

Ridiculous sentence.

🤣

READ the article NOT just the headline please people.

I shared it too. My NZ server was shut down and i'm pretty sure i have a warrant i New Zeeland as they are sending me requests to fly there to be 'interviewed'.

Wtf

sic semper tyrannis

Wow that's scary. Your life can be ruined over just sharing a video

This just encourages me to spread the video

this is what Democrats in the US want.

Tyranny.

Get fucked.

Fuck New Zealand. I’m going to go watch the video right now and there isn’t a fucking thing New Zealand can do about it.

Good

Absurdity

AndrewQuackson More than an actual violent criminal ROFL

AndrewQuackson Absolute joke. If the guy that done it had been caught hed probably have gotten 14 years. Rapists dont even get that most of the time. Disproportionate bullshit, judges are complicit with and protect violent criminals whilst unjustly sentencing non violent criminals. Scum

AndrewQuackson Brittle, beleaguered, tyrannical globalists. Everyone knows they're finished. They'll go NeroDecree rather than change.

(((14 years)))

Wtf

Imagine living in new Zealand.

reallygraceful I can't see his hidden hands

This is what happens when you embrace fascism. The left, and the way they conduct their activities, are nazi days fascist.

I almost don't believe this! How is this even possible?

Reading the replies to this, I think you just poked a nest of white supremacists and they are all getting teary!

Would NZ PM shed few tear drops for this guy

That's fucked up

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.” ~ 1984

Unbelievable! This man was just telling people the truth.

The video is available all over the web. Sounds like something we would expect from comunist China --- shame on you

screwccp Na Because he shared that video in a child x website.

reallygraceful Sharing?!

Guilty? Whatever the law says. 14 years? WTF.

Ridiculous. It's a shame to the current govt.

crazy

Pretty pathetic

Wow. You would think that he committed the shooting himself.

He should be executed for his crimes. This isn't justice at least it should be 14 X 50 .

What is going on! Is someone putting something in the water?

Imagine going to prison for sharing a piece of history.

Have you ever thought why? Evidence! He showed people some evidence which security ervices didn't want others to show. Now wonder what are those evidence......

Wow! New Zealand has a “Chief Censor”? Good to know, I guess I can cross visiting NZ off my bucket list.

Was he being racist/bigoted, or was it just some dark humor gone wrong?

Isn't this murder porn?

I didn’t realize NZ lacked freedom. Terrible of him to alter and share but illegal?

Where’s AOC pointing out how great the leadership in NZ is.

Will the New Zealand police put in an extradition request if I spam email the video to their prime minister and other important public figures? It’ll be an experiment of sorts

placesIWantToMoveTo[New Zealand] -= 1

Some people have no concept of liberty, it literally doesn't compute, and they think they are the morally superior ones

So is this white privilege in New Zealand? I mean they decided to ban guns over this? I think this is law their.

Hey NZ, 1984 wasn't suppose to be a 'How To' guide.

seedutton I’m not cancelling NZ but I’m putting NZ in the timeout corner and waiting for them to get over this fit they are throwing.

Go to thepiratebay and search Christchurch. These dumbfucks dont know how the internet works.

New Zealand sounds like a tyrannical state.

They outlawed the video because it contains evidence they dont want people to see. More than one player, handlers, a missing car, information sharing, etc.

What the fuck?

Disgusting. The sentence.

What's up with these Anglo countries locking up people for having unlicensed forks at home and unauthorised use of their own pc?

Big Brother watches every move you make. It’s only getting worse. Off the grid is looking better and better.

Should we arrest people who show videos of the holocaust?

New Zealanders should rise up against this tyranny, censorship has no place in the civilized world

Insanity

When the law is ridiculous, the judge should go to hell

Really, 14 years for sharing a video? That is just insane.

This is why they always ban guns. Makes it easier to lock people up for decades for thought crimes.

lmao

The comments of people supporting this move by NZ provide evidence that we are perfectly willing to accept certain strains of authoritarianism. That the commenters don't see whats wrong with their rationale should alarm.

New Zealand obviously observing Saharia Law. Have totally rewritten the New Zealand Consitution.

Shame on New Zealand...!!! 🤦‍♂️ FreedomOfSpeech

More outrage for sharing the video than for the actual crime The mental health of those involved in the decision is what is not in doubt at all..... prison time Kiwis have lost their collective minds! This is how injustice looks like!

so whats facebook's punishment for livestreaming it, and spreading it?

Jacinda grovelling to the Muslim community yet again...

Damn.. thats a bit harsh..

This is bullshit.

«Le censeur en chef de Nouv.-Zélande, David Shanks, a interdit la vidéo et le manifeste du suprémaciste blanc accusé de l'attaque, rendant illégale leur visualisation, leur possession et leur diffusion.» Peine maximale 14 années de détention. Un premier néo-zélandais inculpé.

reallygraceful Censorship

Honk honk 🤡🌏

Any country with a 'Chief Censor' is a grotesque shithole. BoycottNewZealand

While those involved in trying to affect the outcome of our 2016 election go free like Alexander Downer.

?

Dude. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

14 yrs for sharing a video. Murder gets 25 yrs Wow that's messed up

Crazy! What's with sharing all the IS decap-vids then? A slap on their mouse hand and 'don't do it again'

That is crazy and outrageous!

Wow. Another reason of the many for which Donald Trump was elected.

Do you come from the police state down under?

They really, REALLY don't want people to watch that video (also known as 'evidence'). Meanwhile in Sri Lanka ... 🤔

Geopolitiks CyberSpaceWar

Invade New Zealand when? No one could share videos of it, so an invasion would be a cakewalk.

14 years for a video Ppl recording and sharing videos of them self raping girls get less than 14 years... Insanity

WTF VisitNewZealand

Orwellian

I'm betting NewZealand will start stoning Christians to please the followers of the 'religion of peace'.

This is more of a crime against humanity than the sharing of that video, which I have, and will probably share now just because of how ridiculous this is.

reallygraceful How many have seen the footage?

neontaster “Sharing a video”. China’s sphere of influence has spread far I see.

not__vee 14 years for sharing a video? Sure, the video is sickening but damn, thats just Orwellian.

Hahahahahahaha HonkHonk

What utter rubbish.

This is why the constitution and amendments are important. Scary world out there, I hope we can stop fantasizing over other countries soon.

Terrifying. Thank god I was born in America. Disturbing what’s happening to freedoms in some western countries.

New Zealand is eating itself.

And things like this triggered WW3 children, selective news and rights just like the Nazis and with the same players,so called socialist and a demon religion.

TheAngryindian Zero tolerance

Experience one mass shooting. Become Nazi Germany. Good work New Zealand.

That’s ridiculous.

14 years ?

NZ deserved it?

Wow! Thank God I live in America!!!!

I take it they are not a free country. They need a Bill Of Rights

New Zealand has gone insane. Beyond stupid

Glad to hear this dangerous menace is off the streets. I mean, by the look of his beard, and those tattoos...it was just a matter of time before he started sharing DIY auto repair videos, too. DoBetterNewZealand

Holy fuck.

Of course they are hiding the fact that the event was a false flag event. People are on to them and their manipulation of the dummies who watch mainstream media. The sad part is those ppl lost their lives so the event coukd be blamed on Trump. Smh

Is this a joke?

So woke

I was going to say 5 years at most, but 14! They're really cracking on this, are they

Ridiculous.

14 years for sharing a video? Wow. New Zealand hate free speech and the right to be informed more than Democrats.

But the platforms... Facebook and Twitter, have no responsibility... He should just claim he’s a journalist and you can do whatever you want, with zero consequences.

When Satan rules, the Truth is a crime.

New Zealand right now

That’s insane.

Wow, remind me to never go there! Joseph Goebbels would be proud. New Zealand residents have no freedom or rights, it appears. When does the book burning begin?

From what I've heard, there are more holes in the Christchurch mosque shootings story than a block of swiss cheese. They don't want the truth to get out.

When Obama told the World that the USA wasn’t exceptional...he was lying again.. It is Our Bill of Rights, which in fact does make the USA exceptional..

For sharing a video....

Wow, I didn’t know New Zealand was a Banana Republic. Free speech does not exist anywhere but the USA

3. By suppressing the manifesto the NZ government are opening themselves up to conspiracy theorists, media manipulation and suspicion. Suppression doesn’t help the NZ government’s cause in my opinion.

Sounds more like something North Korea or Iran would do.

2. I’ve read so many different things about what was in the manifesto that I’d like to know why the gunman did what he did. I’ve heard he’s a communist, socialist, right wing extremist, atheist, Christian, what’s the truth? I’d like to know.

newzealand, what in actual F**K is the matter with you? You wanna combat dangerous radicals? Start with the ones in your government.

1. Seriously? That’s pretty fucked up to share the video but 14 years jail? He’s an idiot, but hardly a criminal. I find it more disturbing that distributing the manifesto is illegal too. It should have been published so we can draw our own conclusions on the gunman’s motivation.

Hope he gets it. He was going to turn the video of the massacre into a video game display with a head count. The killer Tarrant recorded the event to incite further violence and hate. This guy wanted to finish his work. It is not free speech when lives are at stake.

wait, what?

This is simple Sharia kind of law, awful! Hopefully the case will be reviewed.

This doesn't even make sense. It's an insensitive thing but to be imprisoned is crazy. I could see fined or public humiliation but not jailed.

Everyone needs a first and second amendment

This is hype. Most crimes have ridiculous maximum penalties. In the US, if you steal something, it is a class c misdemeanor in most states has a maximum sentence of a year in prison. What do most people get? A scolding and probation. Don’t be sheep.

Every American that sees this should be thankful that we have the First Amendment and Constitution in place to prevent this kind of tyranny in our country. 😡

Arrest everyone ever who’s ever shared a violent video then. Oh wait, sending half the country to jail would look bad? Well then

What the actual fuck

New Zealand has a “chief censor.” No First Amendment there.

It's outrageous. He's getting a prison sentence for sharing a true story?

My God, what are they trying to hide?

jordanbpeterson

penis

neontaster This is the twilight zone...surely? 😔

People might as well just go all in then..

Wow! Scary!

Smells like communism at its its finest

Cernovich Sharing a recording of an incident that occurred... a crime in certain parts of the world typically assumed as free. Interesting times...

Just to remind all USA citizens, we are FREE!

14 years

Cant stop it from spreading online, this is pointless.

This is a terrible miscarriage of justice.

I thought Soviet fell🤔

I realize no humans die in video games that kids play but they are more graghic than the video in question wich make neither right.

I want to believe no one commenting here has read the entire article because it would mean that too many people think it is ok to be an accomplice to this hideous crime. It’s not for sharing “a video”. It’s for participating in the whole thing which included sharing the video.

Tyranny.

What? Was that joke 'NZ is more likely a province of China ' coming true?

Does that mean anyone sharing a ISIS video will get 14years?

New Zealand has a 'chief censor.'

Orwellian Hellhole.

You know how part of the point of terrorism is to instigate governments to do dumb shit? This is what that looks like.

What

Chief sensor? Wow

Woooow. What idiots over there. People need to take there country back

Wow. I mean it was awful, but in the sense of an awful joke, not in the sense of actually hurting people.

Insane, especially with the move towards more lenient sentences in real crimes.

New Zealand should never be taken serious after this. I’m a huge traveler. I will NEVER travel there. SJW’s can have it. Losers.

Maximortal14 This is terrible. For sharing a video!

What

I laugh every time someone says any country is more free than the US.

agree with what he did or not. 14yrs in jail for reposting a social media post is insanity.

He’s one of our political prisoners. We’ll have him freed in RaHoWa.

This is what Tyranny looks like. Congratulations newzealand, you've let social justice take root and now you're locking up journos and people talking about the news.

Also NZ: Muslim man sentenced to 10 years for raping 2 underage girls

They became a fascist country overnight. Never give up your guns.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Out of curiosity, how much time could a New Zealand man expect to spend in jail for molesting a child? If it’s less than that amount of time, NZ’s lawmakers ought hang their heads in shame. It’s sad the world sees so little value in freedom. 🤦🏼‍♂️☹️

That’s absurd!

NZ isn't a liberal country anymore, it is a progressive country.

And this is why New Zealand is an insignificant pimple on the ass of the world.

How is he 'expressing himself'? He was distributing literally the worst snuff movie ever made.

TheGunBlog What is his political principles. What is their government hiding by not wanting the video shown? Is propaganda the future where fact is fiction?

How about instead of kiwis handing in their weapons they overthrow the leftist government and manifest destiny.

He didn't just share it he 'instruct[ed] that person to insert crosshairs and to include a kill count. Prosecutors say he then forwarded the entire chilling 17-minute video to 30 associates.' Clearly set up in advance in collaboration with the killer. A nasty bit of work.

New Zealand is officially a shithole.

And this is the stuff they want to bring to America.

neontaster Almost like they don’t want people seeing the video

Insanity. Enjoy your fascist state.

This is disgusting NZ

Backwards country. New Zealand has a streak of fascism I cannot abide.

Cernovich It must be a hoax if they are censoring anyone who investigates it.

This is amazing. How did the other Anglosphere nations end up so weak on individual speech?

i think the idea watching that sort of stuff horrible but TBH 14 years is new Zealand run by authoritarians that is insane

Orwellian 1984, big brother, New Zealand is no longer free, the video was seen by millions. It's like saying we should ban the Nazi videos of the enterment camps and make it illegal to view.

Does anyone have a copy of the video?

If you share a video of this guy sharing the video, you only get 7 years.

A joke sentence. Should of got double

What the heck is that? 😫😫

Illegal to view? I clicked on the video apparently right after it happened. I had no clue what it was! Even as I watched it, I thought it was some violent video game. 😱

Odel_Roo That kind of reminds me of the guy back during the 2000 election who said he used to be Al Gore's pot dealer. The law suddenly found reason to lock him up & grow away the key.

coltonbeau That’s outrageous. My God.

What’s wrong for sharing? If this is a crime, everyone working at fake news should be indicted !!

What the fuck

Cernovich Um... little harsh NZ don’t you think? Jesus 🤦🏻‍♀️

2019 is the new 1984

“New Zealand's Chief Censor David Shanks banned both the video and a manifesto written by the white supremacist accused of the attack, making it illegal to view, possess or distribute them.” Chief Censor...?

Wow 14 whole years

This is not right. This is a human rights violation if I've ever seen one

Thought police to the rescue

This is fucked up

Chilling example of punitive censorship on the radical left. Glad I don’t live in the PRNZ.

This is what it looks like when a government doesn't work for it's citizens.

Damn, was Hillary Clinton in that video killing someone ot something No...wait, he's still alive.

I can take New Zealand off the short list of places I want to visit.

Cernovich This is outrageous! I wonder what's in the water supply of New Zealand.....

Merely sharing content. Not the actual killer. Absolutely fucking ridiculous.

what a joke of a country

14 fucking years, how come facebook hasn’t been sanctioned yet for hosting the damn stream in it’s entirety?

They have lost their minds. This is a total joke

liberal democracy takes its mask off and reveals the judeo-communist totalitarian regime that hides underneath. liberalism has lost all credibility and now is resorting to draconian tactics to maintain control. last gasps of a dying order. we’re on the rise, jews.

Oh man are Yall talking about the video that's a body cam of the fake shooter and all the bullets disappear instead of pulling up on the ground?

blaauw_foske Just do as you were told to do by your dictatorial government or else.. itsashame christchurch hidingtruth

Try circulating videos of assassinated US citizens with added crosshairs and inflammatory manifestos - you might find your free speech threatened by the law there too.

I was trying to think of an intelligent response to this ridiculous news but all I could think of right now is just saying FUCK New Zealand. 14 years for sharing a video. My god, what kind of totalitarian regime is this?

Hang on now, he not only distributed a banned violent video, but added his own crosshairs to the footage. The court can assess his intentions by doing this. Doubt the sentence will come even close to the max. NZ

'Wrong think.' 'Thought crime.'

Her name was ebba!

To all the dumbasses defending this guy, he’s accused of “sending [...] and instructing that person to insert crosshairs and to include a kill count”, i.e. this is incitement to mass murder

Seriously?

The West needs a Rebellion.....14 years for sharing a video?

14 years?!

14 Years for tapping you thumb on a glass display twice and sharing what’s already public !!! INSANE 😡😡

Coming soon to the United States if the left wins in 2020.. which they won’t. But still.

If anyone wants the video and the manifesto just DM me.

1984.

I would of been dead a long time ago then

1984

What a goofy country.

Democracy gone mad. Or should I say, totalitarian government of New Zealand gone mad.

NZ is officially the dumbest country on Earth

nothing more refreshing than seeing what life in a police state looks like..

WTF?

Nobody remembers what freedom means in an age of fear and nonsense.

KMGVictoria Absurd. There is no crime here.

This is why we have the first amendment in non-shitty countries.

That's just crazy. A lot of people think it's just a Fake false flag or whatever they call it, a conspiracy or something if they don't see things for themselves. No one should get 14 years or even 1 year for just sharing a video.

14 yrs for sharing a video? Sounds like “freedom” to me! Smh

Fuck New Zealand

Unbelievable and scary ! What has happened to sanity?

Leviticus19_18 Big brother is watching you

When the government tells you to shut up, you either comply or revolt. Without the 2nd amendment of the United States of America, your only option is to comply. Remember Ingsoc watches.

New Zealand is no longer part of the west. They have decided to embrace tyranny and censorship.

Fascism, not long after taking the guns.

I dunno, seems, um, excessive

New Zealand has a chief Censor? Incredible.

New Zealand sucks.

Dear lord that is just fucked up.

not__vee Wow! NZ went full fascist fast.

What the fuuuuuuck

Imagine living in a country that has a chief censor.

What!? 14 years for SHARING the video?

weird one given they dont give a shit about any other murder video. Its crazy how fast they act when trying to hide a fake attack. If it wasnt fake, there wouldnt be fight to keep it hidden. This is the first fake attack that was recorded n looked fake. They tried to make it real

Cernovich Why?

Once again Western Liberal governments prove themselves as enemies of their own people! Full lenience even for the most heinous crimes when it comes to Muslim foreigners and Draconic punishments when it comes to White Christian men. Go ahead, crucify us! He will be our Martyr!

Wow - granted, the video and event was gross but not sure this is helping at all. Wow 14 years there’s nothing else he did? Like threaten to kill people or plan an attack or something..

NotreDameBaby Time to watch the video again. Something was never right about it, like the guy picking up a magazine from the floor

NZ outlawed guns....After Sri Lanka, Can we outlaw Muslim terrorists

New Zealand has lost its zeal. Off the travel list.

That’s insanity

CityBureaucrat WTF? This is insane

Surely not? That's the sort of bonkers the judicial system is. Unbelievable.

what the fuck?

Lol what a fucking joke

Whoever is in power in the west is dystopian level tyrants this is terrifying. Free speech and journalism are now worse than murder charges to this tyrannical state.

How many years would he get if the video was child pornography?

THIS is what Fascism ACTUALLY looks like. Look close kids

Lol those aren’t military weapons

He'll get more time than the shooter. ..

Remember when they were told to turn in their guns

robsuggs Stupid. The government knows best, huh. People aren’t allowed to see the truth

So dumb

Free speech - right of expression - not in NZ 🌚🤡🌏

monica_barona showed the fake hits ! not even the same guy arrested.

Whilst in other news sharing videos of soldier, locked in a cage and set alight, journalists being beheaded and troops on knees lined up and shot in the back of the head by those who shall not be named gets a green light👌

Not sure how this makes a NewZealand a better place. PoliceState

This is absolute insanity. Almost as ridiculous as the Prime Minister putting on a hijab and submitting to religious extremists because of a crime.

Yikes! 14 years ? Was he part of shooting like im soo confused

not__vee What has New Zealand become

CityBureaucrat Absurd. What a horrible injustice.

New Zealand has a „Chief Censor“? I thought the Mullahs govern Iran...

Good place NEVER to visit. If you live there time to escape the totalitarian new regime

What a joke

Well, there you go...

Insane

Thank You New Zealand for informing the world that Free Speech is a felony in your prison country.

TomTSEC Only 14 years😂omg

Haha good luck to him. 😂😂😂

They can't let people know how long it took for the police to get there

BanSharia EndSharia realDonaldTrump MAGA

How is this not political persecution? 'political' hacks make a rule, call it a 'law' to hide information and discussion. The police that are the muscle must be concerned. What sort of pattern does this type of 'law' paint on those that create it?

14 YEARS!! That’s very extreme.. they completely lost it over there

Drastic measures to ensure public can't view this hoax video that portions were shot on a green screen. This isn't Dallas and the Zapruder film, false flag perpetrated by their own government and our deep state, Podesta , HRC, Obummer, getting desperate. Pardons won't work.

neontaster

It is essential for the survival of the state authoritarians to criminalize all sharing of the truth. Long live the state. watchingfreedomdie

Not in NZ.

Holy fascism batman

Wow. This is sick and sad. Is there anywhere for normal people to go?

Every member of any news organization in America who doesn't demand this end represents a clear and present danger to the Republic Arrest every member of MSM USMC

Of course, the braindead progressives will celebrate this and other such totalitarian government actions meant to stamp out wrongthink as some kind of 'triumph' of love over hate.

Well couldn’t he should sue Facebook for putting him in this predicament ?

Hi ImMrMeseeks LookAtMe Old Zealand New Zealand

Read the article before you raise the pitchforks. 14 years is just the maximum sentence.

new zealand sucks

If anybody ever tells you the rest of the English Speaking World shares our values, show them this.

1984 is 2019.

I’ll bet you a foreign rapist gets less time than this. Shameful.

For sharing a video? That's stupid

14 year is outrageous for sharing a video that he didn't make in the first place or commit any of the gruesome crimes within the video.

Crazy CRUEL & UNUSUAL punishment

neontaster

Toxic Liberalism.

itt: I am outraged this innocent man exercising his RIGHT to FREE SPEECH has been sentenced to 1488 years!

Insane. 'Zee prohpohgahnda shall noht be shahred.' Modern fascism.

Lot’s of scared white supremacists in the comment section

NZ LOST THEIR COLLECTIVE MINDS!

That is ridiculous

New Zealand is a shithole

Nazis: I'm upset this man is in jail for being a Nazi. I worry that a Nazi like myself will also face consequences for being a Nazi.

A CROCK OF BS !! They just don't want everyone to see more of the real truth about these evil terrorist !!

itt people upset that a Nazi inciting violence among other Nazis went to jail for violating a 26 year old law

GtaThoughts The world has gone nuts !! 14 years for sharing a video that MILLIONS saw anyway !

Orwell was prescient, for sure. New Zealanders should be rioting in the street over this, but like good little sheep theyll continue walking quietly to the slaughter house

This will backfire. Not least as it will help fan the theory that everything with that video isn't as it seems

fuck it EH...museland

That officer looks all of 18

punished_goy All because he shared it? Do they not realize the slippery slope there approaching.

NWO OWG firmly in control there.

His family and friends should resist this very strongly

THIS is why we have the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Tyranny isn’t some far fetched concept that can only happen somewhere else. And we have a party of Democrats who would love to dispense with the Bill of Rights to control what you say, how you act, and what you can do.

Gather round kids, cause clown world is about to start 🤡

BillyBoysDaddy Do they put people in jail for the sharing of porn?

Disgusting decision.

neontaster The shooter probably faces 15 yrs.

New Zealand is fucked give up your rights now what are you going to do! A bad guy with a gun a knife a rock will hurt people still if that want a good guy with a gun a knife a rock will find a way to defend the ones he loves banning rifles is the stupidest thing in the book!!!!

That's totally crazy.

Crazy stuff.

TheGunBlog Again. NZ is lost. Convicting someone for passing a video around is ridiculous. This is what happens when you allow the government to decide what speech is allowed. People should be seeing the footage to remind them what evil looks like. Hiding it does nothing.

How many years for mark zuckerberg? Life in prison?

Ridiculous

TomTSEC Wouldn't want anyone to see that mag pre planted in the mosque...or his accomplice in red...

This is why the left want guns banned so badly! So everyone is a defenseless subject and they can implement their full agenda of stupidity here as well.

14 years for hitting a retweet. Fascism

New Zealand has a “Chief Censor?” ... This is a wet-dream of liberals. How often have they demanded Fox News or anyone who does not buy into their politically correct bullshit be shut down?

This is exactly what the Left and Islam want. The Left has abandoned Christianity and adopted Islam.

Jail all progressives

Crazy

Pathetic

14 years in jail for sharing a video. What a disgrace

scary

One less country to think of ever visiting... They might scan my brain and say I have memories of seeing the video and lock me up....

Yet they do not see the correlation: A Government that wants to ban rifles (NZ) is the kind of government who would imprison you for speaking out... Sad state of affairs that so many willingly accept slavery to the ruling class

New Zealand is slowly disappearing up its own asshole...

another global luciferian deepstate falseflag ? Like MichelleObama drinking champagne front row center of the notredame fire? Riiiiiiighhhht. Everything now is so fake it's ridiculous. Justice is coming. globally NowComesThePain maga qarmy WWG1WGA realDonaldTrump

chadfelixg Absolutely insane.

Democracy in action

Cernovich Revelling in that act is demented and on the same level as the offender. He deserves every year he gets. Give those that commit heinous acts nothing. They want infamy and attention, give them the void instead.

neontaster This is the way the Democrats are moving.

Yes lets maximize the harm, the shooter sought.

TheGunBlog This is freedom,free Speech democracy? T.What this is, is thuggery intimidation socialist dictatorship . Society throw words around sometimes with no meaning.But to JAIL A MAN for up 14 yrs for a video Becus the govt wants to hide facts THAT TRULY IS A SOCIALIST DICTATORSHIP..

It is an unofficial Islamic state, after all. Give it a year and it will be handed over by their spineless gov't. Get out while you can.

Buy ammo

I would like to know who this super smart politician is, who took the power upon herself to decide that I cannot watch that video and draw my own conclusions. Someone is on an unforgivable power trip! This IS true Fascism!

The lights are going out in The West. We are watching the decline and fall of Western Civilization. Death by suicide.

New Zealandstan

Ultimately hate speech laws, if left to their ultimate outcome, and with leftist governments, would make this commonplace as a means to control unwanted speech

Wait, what?! This is insane! This would be like outlawing video of 9/11.

not__vee New Zealand WTF are ya doin' mate?

Welcome to 1984. Please buckle up it’s going to be a bumpy ride...

I’ve never been prouder to be an American. This is the kind of thing that shouldn’t happen in a free country.

Well New Zealand is absolutely crazy!

Stop voting for leftists, globalists..

First they took the guns. Now the freedom to speak

Holy shit, 14 years?

This is what happens when you allow so called “progressives” to have sustained control of your country and laws. They cannot be allowed to have any power.

New Zealand as fallen ,Americans citizens coming soon to a city near u,if u don’t wake up and stop voting in bartenders,jihadis sympathizers and 20 years zero policy people in congress

They have a position called Chief Censor. Think they were going down the rabbit hole before this. Great excuse to grab more power though.

not__vee Become a facist state to own the facists

George Orwell is rolling over in his grave.

Dems would love to bring this type of as authority to the US! TRUMP 2020!

TomTSEC Whaaaat?

Most important questions will he be able to vote?

That is so stupid. 🤦‍♀️

Sounds like something a third world country would do.

Wow, New Zealand is fascist!

neontaster Is New Zealand, like Australia, a penal colony? Is that why the rules for those inmates are so different from the rules for free citizens?

You're not living in a free society if you can put a person in jail for this. Horrible video, but hiding it away does nothing but pretend there's no reality. With no reality, there's no truth. With no truth, the liars rule.

This guy is a nut job but even nut jobs shouldn’t be put through this. In America, nut jobs get positions in congress.

Ron4California The world the Democrats want

Tyanical tyrants

🤡🌎

The video is not even illegal though right ?

A civil engineer from Newcastle who shared extreme videos of the Islamic State has been jailed for seven years.

Such BS. To protect the DS. Save this article

Imran Patel was jailed for 3 yrs 9 mths in NZ for possession of 62 objectionable video files and the copying onto six devices with the special conditions of his parole that he not visit the Block House Bay mosque.

Such BS.

neontaster Shame on the NZ govt.

Government tyranny

'Prosecutors accused the 44-year-old of sending the video to an unknown person and instructing that person to insert crosshairs and to include a kill count.' - PPL, it's also his attitude. He is obviously also hating moslems, therefore this makes sense to me. This is real hate

FlRST REM0VE FREE SPEECH; THEN DlSARM; Wake up b4 its T00 LATE:

Jesus Christ 14 years!?

TomTSEC Crowd fund this guy they are hiding something

It was live streamed on Facebook, when is Zuckerberg going to be indicted?

neontaster NZ needs to get them a 1A.

Congratulations. This is how you radicalise people.

not__vee The fuck

Cernovich What kind of insane freaks are running New Zealand's government!?

WTAF?

But not killing people?

reallygraceful I guess the Zio Nazis have taken over New Zealand.

A Hero.

If anyone needs a link, let me know.

Anarcho-tyranny is here. You get a light sentence for raping or killing but you get the book thrown at you for stuff like this. It's only going to get worse.....gulag worse

1984 was NOT an instruction manual.

Tyrants.

I wonder how long it will take before people say fuck it

what they hell? Definitely think the guys probably whacky, but how is this a real crime?

They should do the same to Turkey's Erdoğan who used the video at his election rallies.

New Zealand is now a dystopian country. Congratulations on destroying yourselves.

This is what an authoritarian state looks like

MarioEsquivel_ 👀

Fuck new zealand and their unprogressive thinking.

He hasn’t been sentenced yet, people so lighten up. He just has the terror of Potentially spending 14 years in jail for sharing a video. And you know, maybe getting murdered there, but hey.

Defiantly not an over reaction ... it’s not like the video was initially streamed live or anything!

neontaster This is absolutely insane. I don't know about what this man is like, but it's irrelevant when he's facing imprisonment for sharing bits and bytes.

🤡🌏

And you want my guns?

Bit harsh. Control through fear!

HONK HONK

What are they hiding?

neontaster Absurd

🤣 we know who runs New Zealand these days.

neontaster This is tyranny.

Only absolute evil goons would enforce such a punishment on this man.

*Honking intensifies* Peak clown world.

The man wanted to insert crosshairs and a kill count in the video. I’m all for free speech but am not about to die on this dude’s hill.

Free nation...?Freedom of speech...?Equality for alll...?Russia,with it’s rulings against reposts is not so different after all,is it?This world is just sick and the worst thing is that brainwashed masses applaud this latent totalitarian government policy against its nation.

That will be the future of America if we allow the socialist liberal democrats win in 2020.

neontaster What the fuck

He needs to declare refugee status and come to the USA

Another reason never to leave America.

Wtf this is ridiculous

TomTSEC People wake up. If that video gets you jail. Then what truth will be allowed. If we stand for this then soon we will be lost to MSM telling us lies. The ugly should be shown just like the good. If not we wont know

Dread to think what kind of sentence Mark Zuckerberg could be facing here then.....

It’s kinda sad that I will probably never get to visit New Zealand. Crossing it off the vacation list...

TomTSEC NewZealand has now fallen to a totalitarian Islam regime. I guess the plan was all in place for the start of this attack. 🤦‍♂️

Idiotic knee slap reaction by ignorant leaders! The people welcomed the ban like sheeple as well.

This is what happens when you let women have political power.

Prosecutors accused the 44-year-old of sending the video to an unknown person and instructing that person to insert crosshairs and to include a kill count. Prosecutors say he then forwarded the entire chilling 17-minute video to 30 associates. Hope he gets the maximum term.

What a fucking joke

Welcome to the insane left NZ... If you give the PC liberals power then this is what you should expect.

neontaster That’s scary. Welcome to our dystopian future.

How did the world go from every mainstream media outlet airing 9/11 from every angle 24/7 for weeks on end to this

Literally a second Hitler

New Zealand sounds a lot like the southern hemisphere equivalent of my country, Canada. Both countries appear to have become hijacked by political correctness run rampant.

reallygraceful oh boy this is dumb and dangerous.

neontaster This is just unbelievable...he shared a video.

Clown government

They want the Muslims to rule. Good luck. NZ is all done.

What?

FOR SHARING A VIDEO!? This is nuts!

Are they mad 😡! That is nuts!

I love how shit like this was examples from evil China or 1984 a few years ago and now it's becoming the norm.

A heavy fine at best, New Zealanders should be outraged at this totalitarian law.

Communist fascism at its finest.

This makes me fucking sick to the stomach. For sharing a video that's readily available? NZ is a pathetic country.

I just found out New Zealand has a Chief Censor. Scary.

Did you hear about Sri Lanka? There was an assault against Christians and more than 300 people died. Sad that you give this headline more coverage. A guy who shared a video. Omission is lying ABC is fake news.

neontaster This is what the Democrats want here

neontaster What a pathetic country.

Madness.

What the actual fuck New Zeland

NZ is disgusting!! Stand up for this man!

neontaster In the 90s libertarians called NZ the freest place on earth.

neontaster This is why America should never compare itself to other nations. We are the leaders of the free world because we have the Bill of Rights.

And it will happen here if you media don’t stop your antics

NZ has gone full totalitarian. Just what the shooter wanted.

Whilst sharing the video is horrendous as was the act I am awaiting the charges against all of the people (Muslims) that shared the Christian massacre and Isis beheading videos, and recruitment videos..NZ you need to show you are even handed with this and not just picking a side

What about the platform? It's conceivable the crime would not have been committed if the perpetrator could not stream it.

You're going to ruin a man's life because he shared a video. Unbelievable and dangerous application of the judicial system.

Daily reminder to avoid giving up your countries to socialists.

rapists and murderers in the eu get probation, sharing a video the nanny state doesn't want u to gets u 14 yrs in jail . the chinese communist party is even more benevolent .shameful

neontaster Nice Civil Rights you have there Kiwis. You should all be horrified.

neontaster What happens when you give Progressives an opening, they are all authoritarians to the core.

Sad times in NZ. Stay strong Kiwis!

Maximum? You are kidding me 14 years

Something very strange about this Christchurch debacle

Sharia zealand

😮

That’s insanity

New Zealand is a fascist state.

Sounds a lot like China.

🤡

neontaster cc hrw

Nobody died in Christchurch. A Hoax to steer the public opinion towards more muslim immigration.

A fascist society.

Utter insanity.

14 years? Never mind that, 14 seconds is too long for a non crime.

neontaster 14?! Is that a typo?

neontaster Maximum? Of 14 years? NZ is insane! The death penalty should be on the table in this case, and the minimum should be 99 years, per person, with no parole.

Liberals want this kind of freedom in the US

What was it Orwell said about the future? 'Imagine a boot stomping on a human face, forever.' Looks like the future is NOW, children...

Country is a joke.

neontaster What? Effing ridiculous. Freedom of speech is not to be taken lightly or compromised. No matter what your views are, you should have the right to express them.

neontaster That’s a yikes for me Dawg

That’s insane.

New Zealand deserves its government. You bunch of sheep

Ridiculous

neontaster You'd get less for child rape in the UK.

Leviticus19_18 Well, NZ went officially full 1984. Time to boycott NZ and their products. I am pretty sorry for the fine people living in NZ, I feel we should separate them from the regime.

Bernie Sanders approves

Imagine making text 'illegal to view'.

Wow NZ is fascist. Learn something new every day.

I thought New Zealand was a modern Western democracy. Got that wrong.

TheGunBlog This is disturbing. Freedom of speech is more important than coddling society.

This is not justice

Gov't tyranny. This is ridiculous.

🤡🌎

What?

An absurdly harsh punishment for a victimless crime

That government is Illegitimate

This shooting leads to the Government stripping its people of freedoms. Makes me think this was an False Flag event created for a purpose. Government is full of corruption & evil people. Time for patriots to rise up & Make New Zealand Great Again.

Oy vey

I wonder what living in a free country would be like?

That’s insane!

Leviticus19_18

Tyranical goverment just as radical as the shooter.

You may not like what the guy did, but this is also what it is like living in a country that does not have a fundamental right of freedom of speech like we do in America.

The fake video were bullets disappeared hmmm

You new Zealand people are learning the hard way why the American Constitution is the greatest document in the History of mankind. Your freedom of speech doesn't exist. fkthatplace

WTH !!! For sharing?!?!

Orwell was right

New Zealand going full totalitarian... seems that the “shooting” gave the government exactly what it needed to start putting their foots on the throats of their own citizens... Way to go progressive New Zealanders you are handing over your own freedoms to the government

New Zealand should declare itself as lslamic state of Newzeland 😊

Another model example for the left

New Zealand is an awful place clearly

Cernovich So NZ immediately votes to disarm their people and now you get over a decade in prison for sharing a video online. The freedoms Americans take for granted

NZ was on my bucket list... No more. Freedom only for invaders. To hell with that.

Radical leftism must never be allowed to gain significant power in America. The ideology is a disease

“New Zealand's Chief Censor David Shanks banned both the video and a manifesto written by the white supremacist accused of the attack, making it illegal to view, possess or distribute them.” ABC News

Liberal paradise

now not saying this shooting was fake or staged but when you sentence people to 14 years in jail for sharing the video i mean it feels like your trying to cover something up

Fascist

Who says New Zealand isn’t free? Totally fine to put people in jail for free speech in New Zealand, why not?

The punishment and penalty must be examplary.

Wait until they take your guns, then the real tyranny can begin.

overkill.

What😳😳😳😳?

Well done he shouldn’t have shared the video, for anyone commenting that that the sentence was too harsh they obviously didn’t watch the video, he should be hanged in my opinion

For just sharing a video? Wtf

American media should be very vocally against this, but can’t be because most lack the guts. This country will adopt rules on the fly concerning the first amendment if & when a serious attack occurs down the road.

New Zealand is fucked

There was no CCTV of the shooter ever released, that's strange.

reallygraceful Ridiculous!

🤡🌎🤡🌏🤡🌍🤡

Coming to a United States near you

This is what ignorance will get you.

Cernovich Rapists etc regularly get sentenced to less time. Effing ridiculous. NZ is a joke of a country.

This shit is sad. Where are other countries / politicians standing against this? Or is virtue signaling more important?

If this isn't scaring the absolute shit out of people, I don't know what will.

Thank you for having covered this. The deeply disturbing video is required viewing for some, such as people who want to learn to stop evil. Closing our eyes to evil is a bad strategy for stopping it.

14 years over a video.

I saw a terrible video of a stoning execution in Africa earlier as I scrolled down on twitter. How come that is allowed but not this?

Trump is a dictator! Wait, what?!?

And they banned guns at the drop of a hat, too. No such thing as a New Zealand citizen, only subjects.

That’s madness

New Zealand is broken. Completely spineless.

Astounding to think that a Western democracy would incarcerate someone for sharing a video. New Zealand even has a 'Chief Censor.' Like 1984.

Pull the troops out of Syria and send them to Christchurch.

What a horrible thing to do. I can't believe people would watch and share a video of a racist murdering innocent people. I hope justice finds him and he serves the full 14 years. NoH8 stopracism NewZealandTerroristAttack

Free Press isn't a thing in New Zealand?

Wow...I never knew New Zealand was Saudi Arabia with a mask.

Western countries are more and more turning into Orwellian nightmares...

tfw no VPN

He will have deffo shared the rehearsal video.

You can't even read the manifesto? They have a 'chief censor' in NewZealand That is scary folks. That means you just have to take the word of media and government and can't evaluate evidence yourself. What a stupid law. freedom 1A Thank goodness I don't live there.

This is the antithesis if Free Speech

NewZealand Government is just like Nazis or Stalin now! This is way outta control! Leftists are the most Evil Corrupt Scum on Earth! Totally Horrific! I will never visit NZ! NewZealandPoliceState NewZealandGestapo NewZealandGulag

Wow what a great country they acted so quick in taking away people's rights...

This doesn’t seem legal to me, only outrageous!!!

TexasLiberty15 False flag

joshgerstein All these keyboard warriors crying faul. He willingly shared the live stream of a bloody massacre. He could have spent that time trying to call in help. He'll have a lot of time to rethink his online presence.

Sharing a video..

The frog is slowly getting boiled.

How long is Mark Zuckerberg facing in prison? He gave the video a platform to the world.

I have no interest in seeing the video but 14 years for sharing a video seems ridiculously harsh.

NZ has lost its mind.

Remember there is no guarantee of freedom of speech nor of freedom of the press in New Zealand. And, of course, New Zealand banned most guns within days of the Mosque shooting. Curiously, most Americans on the Left wish we were just like New Zealand.

I shared it also.. thank god we are still Americans!

This is absurd

This is why you do not give the government an inch, they will want a foot!

Jessica arden might as well ban social media 🤷🏿‍♂️

14 years for sharing a freaking video? What is this, China?

There is truths Being hidden in the Video . That the Government is trying to Hide . Might as well call us now a comunist State .

Was thinking of visiting. Marking through new Zealand as something on my bucket list

Fuck New Zealand.

This is unbelievable! More Communist nonsense from freedom haters down under.

I do think he should face some consequences for doctoring the video in a way that was antagonistic to the victims and decent society as a whole, but 14 years prison?

Cernovich Ah come on!

How can anyone support this.

LOL

Thats a bit too much Orwell in my daily news mate

I would love to see anyone try to justify this.

New Zealand's Chief Censor David Shanks banned both the video and a manifesto written by the white supremacist accused of the attack, making it illegal to view, possess or distribute them. Freedom of speech includes poor taste and bad judgment.

ChangeAgent20 What are they hiding - I mean, can they be more obvious- there should be wide scale condemnation of this and hordes of supporters inside and outside the court. Also why were the FBI in Sri Lanka..?

I’m gonna guess there is no Freedom of Speech there in Nee Zealand

Do you guys even read the article? This is literally the second paragraph Philip Arps pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing the mosque video and will remain in jail until he's sentenced on June 14. He faces a maximum penalty of 14 years in prison

This country has gone off the rails!! Are you now trying to “kiss-up” to avoid retaliation

This is wrong ! What is new Zealand hiding? Poor guy.

Another reason to cherish your first amendment rights

screw him. adding cross hairs and a body count.

Honk honk ClownWorld

Clown world in full display. Things like this remind me how lucky I am to be in America. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'd be doing 70 years if the charge by each count.

This is why we have the 2nd amendment; to protect ourselves against liberalism

Violation of UN standards, New Zeland should be sanctioned by the US for supression of human rights and threats and intimidation. Its seriously worth considering cutting NZ off the US internet entirely due to their governments activity.

This poor guy..... Wow... FuckNewZealand

He shared the live stream of a slaughter, he hasn't been sentenced yet but he deserves a long term.

Cernovich New Zealand is now a fascist country. Shameful.

joshgerstein Good

Justice abused

Where's the3 video i wanna shear too

madness

fightoracle That’s bs let him go !!!

Cernovich New Zealand is insane

Thank God we have realDonaldTrump

Jacinda doing the bidding of her masters in Beijing, slowly turning New Zealand into Little Hong Kong.

New Zealanders should rise up and throw their treasonous government into the ocean.

Huh? For sharing a video? Wow

'New Zealand's Chief Censor' is a thing

Is this real? NZ, get your shit together

Ridiculous.

14 years for sharing a video! Nothing wrong here...

Somebody hidin’ somethin’

they are definitely hiding something

How is this happening in 'free' western nations. There cannot be a single citizen of New Zealand that agrees with this arrest. I want off this planet.

no

Snewland0Steven WTF?

Islam (1% of NZ) has taken over without firing a single shot.

Cernovich What the hell?

So, now New Zealand falls to progressive fascism?

it will be better when muslims wipe out new zealand

That is absolutely insane

Absolute insanity. That’s so heavy-handed, if I didn’t know anything about New Zealand I’d have figured it was a totalitarian shithole after reading this. Sounds like they aren’t far off.

So sick, what a fucked up country.

The link just goes to a page telling me how good a journalist Claire Smith is?

Ain't gonna be touristing in that place! The eye is open....

And Facebooks punishment for live streaming the shooting?

What is wrong with the kiwi's thought processes?

The world has gone crazy

Cernovich 14 years locked in a cage for sharing a video online?!?! What in the actual F?!? Watch out people, keep voting Democrat and this will be here in the states soon.

Cernovich Looks like NZ has its own form of Sharia.

'New Zealand's Chief Censor David Shanks banned both the video and a manifesto' - Chief Censor? WTF

New Zealand is pure evil.

Facist NZ.

Not right.

Pedophiles get less

Bueatiful New Zealand. Evil government empire New Zealand

I was in NZ a couple years ago. I thought it is one of the last normal places in the world. Now I see it's over. Same madness like in falling west Europe.

It is a horrific video but no one should face jail time.

We right wingers are a bunch of cowards. We are watching how the Left is destroying society across the world and we are doing nothing about it.

And this is why you don't give up your guns.

What a joke of a country

WTF ?

What about the other 300,000 video shares! This bloke has now lost his business and his employees lost their jobs!

Cernovich Are you fking serious jacindaardern ?

*honk honk*

Hasn't been sentenced yet, but still. Begs the question are they hiding something?

Western governments are no better than the tyrants they claim to be against. Your 'civil rights' only exist if the powerful want them to. I wouldn't watch nor share this video, but jailing someone over it is ridiculous.

Imagine getting 14 years in prison for sharing 9/11 footage.........

More reasons to oppose anything coming from New Zealand.... I can't believe I almost moved there. Place seems like literal Hell.

Well, it seems New Zealand has gone full fascist at this point. 14 years in prison for sharing a damn video, are you kidding me?

Oh please have a day off. 14 years for sharing a video clip, that happens in China or Iran.

WTF ? Meanwhile revenge Muslim bombing in SriLanka has brought what response in New Zealand ? Sheep accept while the rest sleep.

Im sure he enjoyed every bit of it

Every intelligence agency in the world knows it was a false flag attack.

drfessel Do y’all seriously believe this shit?

If he is a member of a white Supremacy then he deserves it.

I'd be jailed for the rest of humanity LMAOOOO

What?

1984 on crack

utterly crazy. NZ has fallen.

How important is the 1st amendment folks?

1984 becoming reality, free speech not even pretended any more

Honestly, we are know that non-Jewish white men are the biggest terror threat to the world. I'm glad New Zealand is cracking down. No guns, prison for offensive online content. I just hope they clamp down harder soon.

What a load of crap..

Nice knowing you New Zealand 👋

That is terrifying.... straight up nazis running NZ

This is so unbelievably crazy!

Cernovich Kill him!

Cernovich They don’t have a 1st Amendment.

Well. Here’s to hoping someone decides to invade New Zealand.

MicroHonkyTonk For sharing a video? I'm sure he was shocked when he shared it lik3 anything from live leak

Dumb.

Wow, I thought New Zealand was a democracy!?!

Tyrannical government gone mad. Exactly why the USA have the 2nd amendment.

Travesty

KimDotcom NZSarvo

Idiotic. I can’t wait to see everything finally implode.

Cernovich If a muslim kills 49 Christians in New Zealand, he may be free after less than 14 years.

Cernovich Why are they keeping this so under wraps Is there something they don’t want us to see?

New Zealand is lost. Best to vaporize it now so they don't spread.

Tyranny

Pathetic

What a disgrace, NZ has reached level 1000 tyranny.

smokeydogg777 14 fucking years for that? That’s insane. So glad I live in America.

Pure madness. Congrats, NewZealand politicians: you care more about your image than your PEOPLE.

Liberal Media Shows Violent Videos Everyday.

drdrjojo Information crime. Orwell would be shaking his head.

Guilty! ‘Prosecutors accused the 44-year-old of sending the video to an unknown person and instructing that person to insert crosshairs and to include a kill count. Prosecutors say he then forwarded the entire chilling 17-minute video to 30 associates.’

This is a joke! Absolutely disgusting that the government want to lock someone up for sharing a video.

New Zealand is a fascist sh*thole. No wonder I hate the LOTR movies so much...

Everyone involved in prosecuting him should be sent to prison for life. 🤡🌏

Cernovich Whoa! The guy sounds nasty, but jail him for sharing reality?

There’s many reasons why the US is the greatest country but Freedom of Speech is one of the greatest, if not the greatest. Sad many Americans do not know that Freedom of Speech isn’t a human right across the world, even in most well-known popular civilized countries like NZ or UK

Cernovich Free speech advocates of the world should descend on New Zealand and free this political prisoner by any means necessary.

The hobbits have went full authoritarian

Whoever thought that sharing a video deserves a 14 year jail sentence needs to be removed from any remote position of power.

Its called sharia law...

Only Weirdos prosecute people for showing videos that don’t portray kids. What galaxy

New Zealanders will be living in caves again if the retrogression keeps at the current rate

Cernovich This is INSANE! 14 YEARS for simply sharing a video?

Cernovich That’s criminal. Convict Ardern.

Cernovich Damn, glad I didn’t share my copy

new zealand is safer. abc's reporting is not good. nz herald's is ok:

For sharing a video, however distasteful. jacindaardern you’re a freaky dictator.

Cernovich This is so stupid - he should not get jail time...

Cernovich Kim Jung Ill would be proud of the NZ government

Insanity

New Zealand is done.

The island dictatorship of New Zealand must be stopped before it spreads its tyranny.

It's nice living in a free country where you can know the facts, see for yourself and question the official sort without Big Brother ending your life. Why did the police take 16+ minutes to respond? What happened to the other shooters? Was it a false flag? Who is Ebba Åkerlund?

He shouldn't face 14 minutes for sharing a video.

Meanwhile, in the USA, high level partisan conspirators face ZERO penalty for a failed Coup attempt and heinous violations of our Constitution. JohnBrennan Comey MAGA reckoning

Cernovich Chief Censor? Is it a fucking joke?

Cernovich Can you actually read ? Do you understand English? “faces maximum penalty of 14 years in prison“ This is a HEADLINE and NOT what he will actually endure for promoting Violence in NZ. FreeSpeech exists in NZ So I suggest we BE-QUIET and Wake-up NOW

Wtf ?

Cernovich Haven’t there been hundreds of videos broadcast of Muslims murdering, Hindus , Christians and Buddhists by media companies without any prosecution? Someone fill me in. I must be ill informed.

Cernovich Insanity

This poor guy needs a GoFundMe or get out of jail free ticket

I bet you there are muslims out there who shared the video in alarm who haven't been arrested Whatever happened to 'without fear or favour '?

Insane. Meanwhile their globalist prime minister is still donning the hijab.

I thought it was some comedy thing, but no its sadly true...that means our world is turning into bad comedy and this is the reason people do this !! =P

Jail time (3 months) is probably called for, but 14 years?

Sharing that video is messed up. But will people face the same jail time for spreading Isis videos where they behead or burn people alive?

Why is evidence not being interrogated? Something to hide?

Seriously!!! If men from NZ don’t kill every member of Govt they don’t deserve to be men..Lololol

Very totalitarian..

The New Zealander is missing a male jaw , maybe he can borrow the officers jaw.

See leftists. This is REAL FACISM.

Did Germany jail those who shared videos of the holocaust? The vision in the attack needs to be available, so we can learn from, debate, ridicule and ultimately dismiss the evil views of people like the shooter. When you censor history, you are doomed to repeat it.

New Zealand has been conquered. He is a hero.

What results from giving up your freedoms to the government. They can take whatever they want from you.

There’s zero freedom of speech anymore!! Anywhere!! Although I think the guy was a total douchebag for “sharing “ the video in the manner of which he did

Cernovich

Cernovich The slow death of the information age is upon us, and is being brought about under the guise of national security.

What are you hiding New Zealand?

Cernovich What no first and second amendment looks like.

It's gone past the point of insane. Just wow.

🙄

The article has an agenda. They call the shooter a 'white supremacist' - the latest NZ media target. The guy called himself an Eco Fascist. He was Australian. The police did not vet him according to the law before giving him a gun licence. He illegally altered his weapons.

How much time does Facebook get for allowing the whole incident to happen LIVE

What? Is this what liberals and therefore Democrats are for?

Yes because we can't have people telling the truth anymore.

wtf?

Cernovich F'ing ridiculous! Getting locked up for sharing a false flag shooting vid..... Oh... Now I get it. TPTB don't want people examining that video (and it's glaring flaws) too closely.

Coming to America.

Insane liberals

All I needed to know is that New Zealand has a Chief Censor to know where that country is headed. The guy sharing the video is a dirtbag, but that doesn't make it OK to suppress free speech.

Cernovich What he did was wrong and insensitive but 14 years is too extreme. Jail time period is too extreme.

14 years for that? new zealand is complete trash

Yeah but it's okay for journalists to watch the video and report on it

that is absurd.

Cernovich Handcuffs? Really? Jesus New Zealand, you bunch of fascists.

Dang,You crazy New Zealand!!

People say “everyone western country has freedom,” but that is demonstrably not true. Thank the founders for the First Amendment in the USA...

Can he still vote?

Cernovich Lol 14 years? What are you ppl in New Zealand eating? Soy?

These are liberal policies.

We condemned banning the Burkini in France after the Nice-attacks, we should condemn this reaction from NZ as well.

Hey Comey don't you just say you sent it to your lawyer to leak? May not work there..

welcome to fascism

ABC needs to make the title more accurate rather than manipulate people into thinking something that is not happening. More FAKE news I guess

Cernovich Wake up America!!!

NEVER go to New Zealand..

Nut's!

Coming soon to an America near you

Totalitarian regime.

THis

Great job New Zealand once again the New Zealand terrorist gets exactly what he wants.

Fascism.

The mass murderer more than accomplished his goal if NZ is now handing out 14 year sentences for sharing the video.

What a joke NZ is....

The dystopia is here.

If retaliation was ever justified

What about those TV networks that showed footage of 9/11 planes flying into World Trade Center? No prison?

Are you fking kidding me

hold up guys im gonna fed post in a second

COULD. Either way, no matter what, he shouldn't. How can a country attempt to prosecute someone with what was shared on social media? I thought they were 'private platforms', which means social media sites fell under their own jurisdiction? You need to pick one, hypocrites

*HONK* *HONK*

In New Zealand, you cannot be both a patriot and a law-abiding citizen.

Yeah, that´s real smart. Just put people in prison for sharing a video. I´m sure that won´t radicalise anyone else.

That's fucking insane

Honk honk! 🤡🌎 Arden must pay!

New Zealand has achieved Shit Hole status.

Trumpanista19 Can any of you read? It says faces a maximum not, sentenced.

this doesn’t even make fucking sense

Y'know if you're going to risk 14 years prison for something, might as well make it worthwhile. Who's bringing the Muslims in?

So they took all the guns and are now jailing people for showing true events. What a tyrannical country. Hope they find Oil there soon because their people are being oppressed and America should liberate them.

Sharing newsworthy footage gets you 14 years in prison. Good job New Zealand.

Shame on this New Zealand court.

What a backwards authoritative country.

Parody of justice.

he legit did nothing wrong. yalls government is dumb and yall should be protesting for his freedom b.c you will be next

FullHausShow Whats the link for the manifesto again?

New-Zealand is a joke. But what can you expect from a British colony.

This is what we have to look forward to if the left gets it’s way. Erosion of rights. Thought police, etc. is this guy a shit bar? Yep but prison isn’t warranted. It’s a control tactic for the population.

That’s ridiculous

New Zealand is not a serious country

the Commie Clownworld ABC would love to have Here🤬

What the actual fuck

Third world country

Why is there such an effort to hide the video? Is it because it was poorly produced? Too many obvious flaws? Is there something to hide? I saw it. It reminded me of my husband's video games. Am I going to jail?

For SHARING THE VIDEO?!?! 🤡🌎

NZ of all places becomes the first 1984-like dystopia.

Proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free. 🎶

New Zealand is not a serious country

that_groyper Facebook shared for first .

This is insane

Quick reminder that JeffreyEpstein is free. And has been most likely engaging in sex tourism to satisfy his sick urges but go off on this dude who shared a shooting video. 🙄😡

🤡honk🤡honk🤡

Occupational government.

Even 1 second is too much

Democracy

ewolfe2814 For sharing a fucking video?

🤡 🌎

Communism, coming to the United States near you.

HONK HONK

Nameistaken2 Assuming he had nothing to do with the shooting, he be given a finger wagging and a don’t do that again mate *wink wink*

New Zealand's government ia unequivocally illegitimate, and the people there have a moral duty to exterminate their rulers.

FREESPECH BTW XAXAXAXAXA

A police state that’s nice. The world saw it, it’s called the internet. This man is obviously an inconvenience for some other reason

HONK HONK 🤡🌍

Police state. This is what dems want here in America.

Bad things will go away if you ignore them.

Nobody should be in favor of this

Sharia law in New Zealand

That was too much.

Free speech is dead

Good....sicko

Any punishment is too much

Big Brother is watching you.

Are you fucking kidding me?

This is why I don't want to live outside the US. I enjoy the 1st admendment too much. I couldn't imagine getting put in prison for spreading the video of an historical event. Imagine getting put in prison for spreading the news clip of a plane flying into the tower on 9/11.

Good

Only

People really need to read the article before commenting based off the title

Some person did something

Oh cool we’re doing thought crimes now?

NZ wtf are you doing?

This is ridiculous.

This guy does sound like a sick piece of garbage. Still, 14 years in prison - 14 years - for sharing a video of “some person doing something” seems excessive. Ilhan

14 years for spreading a truthful event?

For sharing a video... That's an extreme punishment

Dragon low

Good. Spending hate is not okay!!

Should be the death penalty tbh

YouTube better take down all those 911 footage or the company executives might spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Sharing the truth is not something to be punished. This is the beginning of a dangerous precedent. No different than lords keeping peasants from literature in fear of rebellion.

Ridiculous.

and NZ claims to be a democracy

Unless they created the video they shouldn't face charges. Since the media cannot be trusted, it is up to citizens to report news good or bad. Who knows what the media would have reported if the video was not released.

Not right. That's too much

14 years? Wtf!

Shaqkeem1 this man was doing some knarly shit (asking ppl to put kill counts and crosshairs) but bruh really? Up to 14 years for fucking sharing a video?

This is fascism. Arresting people for internet posts. The left truly are orwellian.

Hot damn! I wish half the assholes on here were held accountable for the grotesque shit they say and share

What a joke
