The '''New Zealand mosque shooting''' was a [[direct action]] attack on two [[Christchurch]], [[New Zealand]] [[mosque]]s by a [[leftwing]] [[white supremacist]] that killed 50 [[Muslim]]s at prayer in retaliation for the [[Islam]]ization of [[the West]], and in the hopes of sparking "revolutionary change." The shooter described himself as a "green nationalist" and "eco-[[fascist]]." The shooting occurred on March 15, 2019. The shooter wrote a [[Cultural Marxist]]-[[dialectic]] diatribe, rife with contradictions and incoherent nonsense to justify murder and violence, such as is common to much radical leftist literature.

Witness statements say that police took over 20 minutes to arrive at the scene. The actual response time was 36 minutes.  A shooter and several others were arrested however the others arrested were not part of the attack and the attacker was a solo assailant. The 28 year old shooter obviously had paramilitary training and had traveled to [[Pakistan]], [[North Korea]], [[Turkey]], parts of [[Africa]], [[Portugal]], [[Spain]], [[France]], [[Afghanistan]] and [[Xinjiang]], [[China]].
