An attack on a New Zealand mosque was reportedly stopped on Friday when a good guy with a gun fired at the attacker[s] causing them to flee the scene, according to local media.
The terrorist attack left 49 dead and dozens injured with at least 30 of the deaths coming from the Masjid Al Noor mosque and at least 10 more deaths coming from the Linwood Masjid Mosque.
The lower number of deaths at the Linwood Masjid Mosque may in part be attributable to a good guy with a gun stopping the shooting. The New Zealand Herald reports:
A second shooting happened at a mosque in the Linwood area of the city.
One Friday prayer goer returned fire with a rifle or shotgun.
Witnesses said they heard multiple gunshots around 1.45pm.
A well known Muslim local chased the shooters and fired two shots at them as they sped off.
He was heard telling police officers he was firing in “self defence”.
“They were in a silver Subaru,” he told police.
“Authorities said they had four people in custody — three men and one woman — but later clarified that only three were believed to have been involved in the violence,” The Washington Post reported. “One man in his late 20s, whom the authorities declined to name, was charged with murder and was expected to appear in court on Saturday morning. The suspects had not been on security watch lists, officials said.”
The terrorist livestreamed the horrifying attack on social media, which left tech companies scrambling to remove the attack. Fox News reports:
“We have taken down the account of the alleged perpetrator and are working to actively remove all versions of the video from Twitter,” a Twitter spokesman said, according to BuzzFeed reporter Ryan Mac.
Facebook officials also issued a statement, according to Mac: “Our hearts go out to the victims, their families and the community affected by this horrendous act. New Zealand Police alerted us to a video on Facebook shortly after the livestream commenced and we removed both the shooter’s Facebook account and the video.”
“Don’t give the POS NZ shooter what he wants,” Donald Trump Jr. wrote on Twitter. “Don’t speak his name don’t show the footage. Seems that most agree on that. The questions is can the media do what’s right and pass up the ratings they’ll get by doing the opposite? I fear we all know the answer unfortunately.”
During a press conference, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said: “Whilst I cannot give any confirmation at this stage around fatalities and casualties, what I can say is that it is clear that this is one of New Zealand’s darkest days.”
“Clearly, what has happened here is an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence,” Ardern continued. “Many of those who will have been directly affected by this shooting may be migrants to New Zealand, they may even be refugees here. They have chosen to make New Zealand their home, and it is their home.”
“They are us. The person who has perpetuated this violence against us is not,” Arden added. “They have no place in New Zealand. There is no place in New Zealand for such acts of extreme and unprecedented violence, which it is clear this act was.”

Mooslims bleed hummus – therefore no blood.
Where can one view the entire video of the NZ shooting? Or have they all been taken down.
Everyone should use torrents and pirate bay proxies anyway …
try here
I liked the pine tree air freshener hanging from his Rear View mirror.
First thing I noticed. Don’t know why that seemed odd to me, but it sure did.
Google ‘Pine Tree Gang.’
hmm, tough call,
pick up a gun, during a mass shooting, to be a hero, when the odds are, you will first be charged as an accomplices to the event?
just how do they know this fellow, was not part of the plot, how do they get all these “facts” and I use the term loosely, out to the public..
could there be an narrative that needs re-enforcing, or is this just some bullshit to get the attention away from US internal politics (aka the mueller dud)
Boy, have I become skeptical and cynical over the last couple of years.
So fake…

Great breakdown. That mufti was the same guy everyone has photos of covered in blood out in front of the mosque. When he was inside there wasn’t any one him.
Your first link has already been memoryholed.
That is the reason they are scrambling to take down all videos of the event, as it is 100% FAKE FAKE FAKE. Anyone with a critical eye that watches it will realize that. I was lucky to download it before it was taken down.
“We have taken down the account of the alleged perpetrator and are working to actively remove all versions of the video from Twitter,”
I bet they are. They don’t want anybody proving the shit fake.
Wouldn’t a good guy have been killing more muslims, rather than trying to prevent it?
The NZ government is a complete waste of chemicals.
“Shooters”? “Them”
Does Tarrant identify as a plural pronoun?
Plural? I was thinking the same as HSF.
I was wondering how long it would take for that discrepancy to be questioned.
Here’s another one I had to laugh at:
Seems like a lot of “dead” mass shooting victims suddenly become alive again.
Now “the good guy with the gun” has his gun taken away.
Makes perfect sense.
Leftists are not right in the head.
Once again, Israel’s dirty fingerprints are all over this one, as well…

I have heard differing accounts; that the person at the Linwood mosque fired back with his own weapon, that he fired back with a weapon that the attacker dropped, that he hurled a credit card reader at the attacker, and that he picked up a rifle that the attacker dropped, and finding it empty, hurled it at the attacker’s car, breaking the window and causing the attacker to flee.
Whatever the truth may be, it is clear that standing up in the face of such an attack is the only way to defeat the attacker. In all the accounts Tarrant seemed a coward, running from one man who was likely not even armed with live ammunition himself. This action reduced the likely death toll by dozens at least.
We must never forget that action alone may counter action.
Here we go again with major discrepancies to the official narrative. Was this another in a long list of false flag operations? Time and evidence will tell but the offical narrative is starting to smell. What a screwed up world we live in where truth and morality has been mostly banned.
This was another round of fake bullshit. How can shell cases keep disappearing before they hit the ground. They showed videos of the ” shooter ” on the street firing his weapon but the cases were gone before they hit the ground. Plus no blood . How can these fucking creatures be shot and not bleed? All fake . Just another false flag operation to push more anti-gun bullshit in Western societies . Bash Trump ,guns and White men in particular. They always show these ” people of color ” as victims. Well Fuck them.
You would think Hollywood would do a better job of filming the “NEWS”.
I read pilled 5 people today with the disappearing cartridges, success on 4 of them, the one I told him he’s a low IQ mother fucker and that’s the label you’ll have from now on. BTW the other 4 are very experienced gun owners, low IQ is not.
Carry on….
So what? Everyone must be disarmed until only muslims can commit attacks since they have special victim status. (sarcasm)
