Shooter’s Anti-Muslim Manifesto
Brenton Harris Tarrant is the identified shooter behind the New Zealand mosque attacks. New Zealand Prime Minister’s office received his anti-Muslim manifesto minutes before the attack. The document is 87 pages long and full of hatred against the Muslim community. Brenton was live-streaming the shootings on Facebook and the video got viral. Facebook, YouTube, and other social networks have reportedly taken down the videos from the networks.
