New Zealand is going to need to start registering people who buy knives (make sure they’re not white nationalists).

The attack was carried out by an individual who was a "KNOWN THREAT" to New Zealand.

THIS is what ALL of our POS elected people just do not get.

We do not want "known threats" living amongst us.

I wonder if more law abiding citizens had guns whether they could have stopped him sooner? Obviously, it took shots fired to put the sick dog down.

Come to think of it, with the Taliban having so much military equipment now, they could probably threaten a New Zealand takeover with four warships. After all, New Zealand only has three and Biden can't be counted on to get involved in foreign nation build/helping.

I hope they don't think of that.

New Zealand: Muslim migrant stabs at least six people in a supermarket

SEP 3, 2021 9:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

Why was he let into the country?

Why was he running around loose, when they knew he was a threat?



“ISIS supporter shot dead by New Zealand police after shoppers stabbed in ‘terrorist attack,'” by Angus Watson and Jessie Yeung, CNN, September 3, 2021:

(CNN)New Zealand police have shot and killed an ISIS supporter who injured at least six people in a supermarket “terrorist attack” in the Auckland suburb of New Lynn on Friday, authorities say.

“This afternoon at approximately 2:40 p.m., a violent extremist undertook a terrorist attack,” said Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in a news conference Friday afternoon. “This was a violent attack, it was senseless, and I am so sorry it happened.”

Ardern added that the man was a Sri Lankan national, a “supporter of ISIS ideology,” and a “known security threat.”

He was under constant surveillance by multiple government agencies, and security personnel were able to shoot and kill him within 60 seconds from the start of the attack, she said.

The attacker obtained a knife within the store and used it to stab shoppers before police shot him, said New Zealand Police Commissioner Andrew Coster, who described him as a lone actor. The man died at the scene.

The attacker came to New Zealand in 2011 and became a person of interest in October 2016, authorities said.

Ardern did not publicly share the man’s identity, saying he had faced court in the past and suppression orders prevented officials from releasing certain information about him.

The Prime Minister added that she had been “personally aware” of him before the attack, and authorities were monitoring him because they could not keep him in prison.

“I acknowledge this situation poses questions about whether police could have acted faster or done more,” Coster said. “I am confident we have done everything we can within the law … we were doing everything we could to monitor him. The fact we were able to react within 60 seconds shows that.”…
