No you didn't.

You cheered him on with your white supremacist mates.

Give links to prove that or I'll consider reporting you.
I have always called for all terrorists to be hanged.

Report all you want, Nancy boy.

You and your fellow right-wing extremists cheered him on.

It was disgusting, and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

You are using this tragedy to piss members off pissery.......just as you have always done.......you have no compasion for the poor relatives .......

Blobby, you need to STFU......you are, as usual, making a complete fool of yourself........

Greggy,
There's a rule in life that when multiple people tell you something, you probably need to reassess your stance.

It's quite heinous to suggest anyone cheered him on.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

Even your comrades, smith, karnal have deserted you

They cheered him on.

One even said that he should have killed more.

I find it quite sickening that you've come running to their defence, but not surprising in the least.

It's no surprise that it happened, though - such an event was inevitable at some time....

That, my son, is a simple statement of fact.... not 'support' in any way for the actual event.

And yet, when i or others have pointed out that Islamic extremism is a natural consequence of the West's interference and decimation of Arabia for generations, we are called terrorist supporters and Islamophiles.

I've not seen any comment form you or anyone else when that point is made. It's generally met with outrage.

I've certainly never seen you cite it as a factor, pretty sure i've seen you dismiss it. Even ridicule it.

But this is how prejudices are built. Selective empathy.

Lol

Love to see Grap come back from that one.

Now - as for the first part - when have I ever said differently? I have always discussed the reality that the issues involved affect all 'sides' - unlike many of you here, who prefer to always find some way to blame one side only of a very complex issue covering generations. Try reading what I've written, dispassionately, about the difference between 'The Arab Spring' and Islamism, particularly in the way these are viewed outside those movements.

No - you are not called "terrorist supporters and Islamophiles" for discussing historical realities - you are called "terrorist supporters and Islamophiles" (I've never called anyone a 'terrorist sympathiser' for posting fact) for unilaterally and unconditionally supporting such nonsenses as 'the oppression of Muslims in Australia', and for attempting to subvert discussion of atrocities by suggesting some form of corporate responsibility of the entire West for the actions of a few - something you equally roundly condemn when it is any Westerner criticising any Islamist excess.

Learning to read is a good starting point in discussion of issues - after that we can lead you along slowly until you see the open vistas of reality in front of you - especially how issues such as 'terrorism' and its roots actually come about, and how such issues as 'racism' and 'genderism' etc are not limited to one demographic - including (dare one say it) 'white supremacists' - that artificial label attached to any person who disagrees with any other group's demands.

Obscene really to tear down a statue of Robert E Lee who never owned a slave and certainly didn't fight to preserve slavery - I suppose that makes me a 'white supremacist' for opposing the stupidity of a few easily-lead fools... what some refer to as the sheeple. Roll Eyes

There you are - easily disposed of..... NEXT!!

Actually - I didn't.. try reading - again. WHERE did I condemn an entire group? those who slavishly follow some absurd and non fact based ideological stance? I merely point out their deficiencies in reasoning and fact-gathering.

You do understand such simple basics as 'examples' rather than blanket condemnation?

Now then. children - we are, as usual dragged off the topic by The Usual Suspects ... so let's restore some balance here:-

NOBODY here EVER supported the actions of Tarrant.

NOBODY here EVER said he was justified.

MOST here called for the highest level of punishment for his crimes, Bobby went the whole hog.

NOBODY here EVER 'blamed the victims'. Some of us very clearly have stated repeatedly that this group attacked are a peaceful lot of refugees who have done nothing to NZ, and that the perpetrator is a traitor to the white race and is unworthy of it.

Saying that such an event was inevitable is not the same as supporting or justifying it, but it WAS inevitable at some time. It remains inevitable that there will be further such incidents worldwide.

Those are the facts and they are indisputable.

Greg - you owe Bobby an apology for your extremist view expressed about his response to this incident. And you demand a terrorist watch on any potential 'white supremacist terrorist' (a tiny minority in reality) yet you consider watching equally potential 'other group supremacist terrorists' to be intrusive and oppressive, and this despite the facts on a daily basis throughout the world.

Tarrant - life without .. the idiot involved in Manchester only got 55 years.... because he was under 21 at the time he couldn't get life without... SAME-SAME! All decent and reasonable people here support this heavy penalty format for ALL such acts.

Now stop bitching, boys, and get on with it.... Cool

This is like watching girls in the schoolyard arguing about who's got the best Barbie doll...

Oh i se that you understand why Tarrant turned a gun on innocent Muslims in retaliation but you baulk at the idea that the whole West be held accountable.

It was my original point. You merely evidenced it further.

Furthermore, i understand that recognition of this is utterly beyond you. It's not for you i made the point.

What is the maximum or most likely sentence?
New Zealand abolished the death penalty in 1961. Life in prison is the country’s most severe criminal punishment, and its Sentencing Act requires a minimum period of imprisonment before the possibility of parole: 10 years for murder and, in very serious cases, at least 17 years.

There are no concurrent life sentences, as there are in the United States.

But the Sentencing Act also states that the court can require that a life sentence for murder be served without the possibility of release. Such a sentence has never been imposed in New Zealand. Many New Zealanders believe that Mr. Tarrant will be the first to receive one.

He will be able to appeal whatever sentence he receives.

I reckon the bastard will be the first in NZ to receive a life sentence for murder without the possibility of release.

No one said that - you made it up.

Stop drinking grog - you alcoholic.

They did say that, and you supported it.

You are a white-supremacist terrorist sympathiser.

False -
I always called for the hanging of all terrorists
including Brenton Tarrant -
in fact I want you to hang him.

You right-wing extremists don't see him as a terrorist though.

Mothra

Is Greg allowed to just Bandy around that sort of accusation to a group
would you call on him to be a bit more specific and say exactly which members and then provide us with the evidence

Or is this just an allegation
Allegation allegation allegation allegation Grin

Mothra

Is it acceptable for Gregory to refer to Bobby as the alleged white supremacist

Is that how civil discourse is to be conducted in 2020 Roll Eyes

There are no concurrent life sentences, as there are in the United States.

But the Sentencing Act also states that the court can require that a life sentence for murder be served without the possibility of release. Such a sentence has never been imposed in New Zealand. Many New Zealanders believe that Mr. Tarrant will be the first to receive one.

He will be able to appeal whatever sentence he receives.

I reckon the bastard will be the first in NZ to receive a life sentence for murder without the possibility of release.

Cool

And terrorism.

He's charged with terrorism too.

The white supremacist facing court is a terrorist.
