BREAKING: Mass shooter Brenton Tarrant tells judge he won't speak in his own defense at sentencing hearing in New Zealand court.

Sara Qasem gives her victim impact statement during the sentencing hearing for Australian Brenton Harrison Tarrant at the Christchurch High Court after Tarrant pleaded guilty to 51 counts of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder and one count of terrorism in Christchurch, New Zealand, Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2020.

Earlier Wednesday, a woman speaking about her beloved father brought many people in the courtroom to tears. Tarrant had earlier fired his lawyers but was appointed a standby lawyer by the court. Philip Hall, the standby counsel, told judge Justice Cameron Mander that he would make a brief statement on Tarrant’s behalf. Tarrant confirmed to Mander that he didn’t wish to speak.

“Take a look around this courtroom,” she said to the gunman. “Who is the ‘other’ here, right now, is it us, or is it you? I think the answer is pretty clear.”At the current hearing, he hasn’t shown the brazenness he did at his first court appearance the day after the attacks, when he made a hand gesture sometimes adopted by white supremacists.

Besides people dying, what is scary about Brenton Tarrant's video are the people all dressed in red as if symbolizing a human blood sacrifice will soon happen in Brenton Tarrant's video.

oh yes, white mass shooter. very cultural.

TrueFactsStated He shouldn’t be given the opportunity to say anything more. His actions speak for themselves.

Put him away for life.

What’s the use? There is too much inculpatory evidence against him already

What would a killer have to say in their defense if they were already convicted?

Perhaps he believes his grandmother’s advice “If you can’t say something nice then don’t say anything at all.”

FFS STOP PUTTING HIS NAME OUT THERE.

Get to prison

It’s almost like calling a White person a terrorist is impossible. If he screamed “Allahu Akbar” then would that make it easier?

Typical coward Terrorist , don't have the bravery to face someone only by holding a machine gun towards unarmed innocent people.

New Zealand ....they should punt themselves into oblivion

It always mind boggling how he is called Mass shooter not a terrorist after all, he terrorized innocent people, well beats me if I know.

good, that usually turns out poorly tbh
