NZ Manifesto Resembles Norway Far-Right Mass Murderer’s Text

[waves]

The 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.

Magnus Ranstorp of the Swedish National Defense College says the shooter is against mass immigration and “has to some extend the same themes as (Anders Behring) Breivik,” who posted his 1,500-page manifesto online before carrying out his deadly attacks.

Ranstorp told Swedish radio Friday that the New Zealand shooter, who killed at least 49 people in two mosques in Christchurch on Friday, claims to “have been in contact with Breivik’s sympathizers.”

My understanding is that they had communicated. We need to reflect on how we deal with this kind of criminality, and the way we use and interpret the curtailment of liberty we use as punishment. Historically the loss of the ability to walk about the town represented that. In the current paradigm, the freedom of communication and perhaps social media probably need to be considered in the incarceration of such offenders. We run the risk of creating living martyrs.

I agree that social media has become something of a curse. We get way too much information that we get way too emotional and angry over. Young people have fallen in love with Islamic State via the internet, and wind up flying themselves to Syria. Murderers are now go-proing their violent crimes. Lives have been damaged and reputations ruined by tweeted viral media clips, which don't tell the whole story. It's too much.

It's a double-edged sword. It works wonders for people like me who have extreme social anxiety and almost no real life friends. Social media gives me an outlet to interact with people instead of being a hermit completely. However, I do agree that it tends to radicalize people. The internet was part of the reason I used to be a Marxist. I read stuff and got radicalized that way. However, on the flipside the internet also later helped me find Christianity.

That's deeply true. Same, here. CF is the only place I really get to talk to folks.
