I'm from New Zealand. I grew up in Canada - I'm a dual citizen and I've been back a few times. My parents are down there on extended vacation right now, and were close to the terror event Friday.
And for a couple years I've been saying New Zealand will be the next scene of a large terrorist attack or false flag event. Sadly, the warning signs were all there.
So I can't say I was shocked.
But yes, it has impacted me. I've stayed away from any coverage (mainstream or alternative) of the event since it happened. I've got a fair bit on my plate at the moment and my physical and mental health are important to me.
Today, though, a friend linked me to footage from "the video". (The video that websites and countries are banning people for, just for watching, with threats of charges of "aiding terrorists".)
It's hard not to notice that as the shooter walks with his rifle down the main hallway for the first time, he glances at an item laying on the floor. It appears to be a magazine for a rifle. He walks past it.
After shooting at some people for a minute, he's back in the main hallway, and walks past the object again:
The object is the same shape, same colour, and in the same spot as when he drove up and entered the building.
After shooting for a couple more minutes, including reloading a few times with various magazines, he returns to the main hallway and approaches the item which had been in that exact spot all along:
He picks it up:
And reloads his rifle with it:
It was a magazine full of the bullets his rifle required. He began shooting again.
Regardless of everything else, WHY was there a magazine of bullets lying on the floor in the main hallway of the mosque, before the shooter drove across town and entered the building?
None of the possible explanations I can think of seem at all likely. I can't imagine any scenario that makes sense, can you?
There appear to be other cached magazines around the mosque, but this one is the most obvious. It was there before he was, and appears to be covered in white lettering and symbols, just like all his other gear:
I'm not trying to make light of what appears to be a terrible tragedy, or offend anyone, or be needlessly controversial.
I just want to know the truth about something which has just changed all of our lives forever!
Why was there at least one magazine full of the shooter's bullets in the mosque BEFORE he began the FaceBook livestream, drove across Christchurch, and arrived to begin the shooting?
