- ‘The hatred that lies at the heart of your hostility to particular members of the community that you came to this country to murder, has no place here. It has no place anywhere’ - A judge in New Zealand provided a statement as he sentenced the terrorist that murdered 51 Muslim worshippers at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, on March 15, 2019. The judge sentenced him to life in prison without parole, a first for a court in the country.

A terrorist is not defined by his race, but by the actions of ones character
Well said!
Exactly
Pity American right and far right don't believe that.And yet Americans allow the KKK to live and breathe
Amen mate!
Did this actually need clarification?
"When you kill one person, it is as if you killed all of humanity".
from the Quran, true?
@@ThatHippyDuck yes
incorrectly cited....kill one person unjustly / innocent.
an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
A person's life for an agenda. Disgustin
No sentance would be enough not even death. Takes years to build but a heartbeat to destroy.
In my opinion lifelong prison without parole is harsher (and much more sensible) than the death penalty anyway.
I think he deserves more than just a sentance. I would have given him a criminal sentence
@@JanischMaximilian He should have been given the DEATH PENALTY...now NZlanders will be PAYING for him to be in a comfortable cell(s) for a long period of time.😡😡😡👿👿👿
Dude i think neither regular prison time nor death sentence is ok. Best option is to use him for slave labour. As in working in a dangerous and hard job like mining. At least he will be useful then, and you could say it's worse than prison time.
I will never understand how this ideology of being “superior” to others even started. And the fact that he had absolutely no remorse and even smiled, SMILED, during a victim’s testimony is terrible. It’s people like him who make me scared to be different. May those who were lost find peace, they will be remembered.
He just smiled what's wrong with that, you never smile maybe?
@@vincenziojovanoski I see that you must have never been in a situation even remotely close to this
@@fifth5106 I've been in almost all situations and always kept my smile so congrats to this guy for keeping his smile, smiling is a sign that you're mentally healthy and/or satisfied as we all should be.
@@vincenziojovanoski wow u need help. He should be proud of his actions? Yea it’s ppl like you who make the world the way it is today.
@@vincenziojovanoski even delete your whole comment lol.
America needs to learn from New Zealand
Learn what? It seems like you guys got the same idea as us letting killers get off easy
If he was in the USA Trump would have this monster speaking at the RNC.
And the cops would have stopped to buy him Burger King like Dylan roof.
FIRST HE WOULD PARDEN HIM
Definitely not. Let's keep it real. He has a lot of christian support
@@mistynights2834 YA MEAN LIKE JERRY FALWELL -
he would pardon first, give him a medal of honor, then have him speak..smh
Honestly I’d say this is worse than a death sentence for him in a way. I know not everyone will agree, but he should suffer than have the release of death
@TheRenaissanceman65 what a shame. I hope he loses his mind in there, really badly, and the prison doctors "neglect" to give him treatment. Imagine psychosis in solitary 😱😱😱
I hope they play Islamic prayer in his cell 24 hours a day.
New Zealand feels like the last bastion of a sane and carefree humanity in the world these days. They do have problems and issues like these beings who kill. They however grow stronger from it and make it their priority to keep their citizens safe as well as not bring an iron curtain on them.
There is an awful lot of nonsense here too unfortunately. Perhaps because American politics have been so much in the media since 2016. Here in NZ there are people who support Trump and talk about COVID-19 measures unnecessary government control. His BS is like a cancer that spreads via the internet.
And over here in America we have some "Americans" calling this cowardly boy that killed unarmed protesters a hero. Such sad and crazy times we're living in.
I suggest you don’t read Mark Dices tweets, the POS and his supporters are praising the murderer 😡
it’s appalling
Amen..truly pathetic
Eric Ferguson are purposely acting uniformed or you truly relish ignorance in the age of information. Tossing your baseless opinions around only to incite more discontent.
@@peter12246 Yes, it's absolutely ridiculous and mind boggling that there are people that are praising this idiots actions.
He thinks he is superior to others but look at his physical features.If this was supposedly a superior white man,then what hope would the Anglo Saxon ethnicity have???
I told my spouse the other day he looks like a goober.
The shooter? I've never come across a picture of him ..
@@ThoughtfulPotato just search up New Zealand shooter on Google
look at his big head LOL He looks 5.6ft LOL
@@ThoughtfulPotato The scums name is Brenton Tarrant.
A right-wing thug with a gun and a warped sense of entitlement. Peace and love to the Muslim community. Family in God's eyes.
👍
@Dee Bee are you forgetting the crusades or the inquisition? How many millions died at the hands of those Christians?
TroubledSpirit leave him. He’s a troll
@F_ RSS There is none so blind as he that chooses not to see... Tell your story to God when you meet him, see if you could have put a little more love in your heart instead of hate.
@Dee Bee
You do realize that whole armies are bombing terrorists/terrorists usually end up dead. So they get their justice.
Kudos to PM Ardern, the judge and to the People of New Zealand! You were right not to acknowledge the name of that man who took the lives of many people. PM Ardern was right, he should be nameless and faceless. His life and evil actions shouldn’t even be mentioned. Justice was served! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My prayers for those who lost their lives and to their families...
I saw the recording of the facebook live stream and couldn’t believe how brave one of the victims was. He tried to tackle down this monster but was shot shortly after he turned the corner of one of the corridors in the mosque.
Mario B wtf
jeez man i did not need to know that
Wow, that guy sounds awesome, too bad I’ll never meet him
@@cottontheeastercottontailr265 no one cares about your safespace. Unplug from the internet if you want to live a horror free life. you weak sauce
Yea I saw the video too a couple times.
This man is the epitome of hatred and cowardice. May all the innocent victims he so remorselessly slaughtered find peace with Allah and my prayers go out to their families. United we, the human race, are strong, and this sub-human terrorist tried to create division between people. 🙏☮️
Good, we need less people like him in this world.
He should not be trialed for life in prison. he should be trialed for the death penalty
@@riceshower7304 no. absolutely not. the death penalty is not only immoral, but it leaves room for innnocent people to be murdered by the goverment.
@@riceshower7304 death penalty isn't enough he needs life in prison he must suffer
Slight problem: NZ abolished the death penalty
THE GAMER I just want this guy to get the highest sentence. And that is not the death sentence. The death sentence would release him from suffering. Living for decades in prison while knowing that you will never leave the same cell block ever again in your life is much worse. Also the constitution of most developed countries except the US states that everyone at least has the right to live.
Anyone who thinks his sentence was too harsh is part of the problem
Wym? Life sentence is too harsh for anyone like how can you get in jail until death for a mistake you did in ONE DAY... That's beyond me !! 😠 Hope he will get released someday I'd love to meet this guy and take a selfie with him
Well I think is too lenient, vagabonds like deserve the death sentence .
@@vincenziojovanoski he committed mass murderer... It isn't too harsh
@@hugomatos6099 and what's your point ?
@@vincenziojovanoski
This wasn't a 'mistake' the only regret is being caught.
There's a somewhat cruel irony in this. A man thinks he is a hero killing terrorists. He shoots man, women, and children, young and old, and becomes the terrorist.
To claim that he wanted to exterminate terrorists is not irony, but hypocrisy. This racist has deliberately killed innocent people and children. He clearly knew that they weren't terrorists. People like him claim that they want to fight injustice, but they absolutely know that this is a lie and that their hatred is the only reason for what they are doing.
He's become the thing he wanted to destroy and more.
@Mohammad Rahman Yea sure you could say that, but they have an army at their disposal.
There is a practical limit to how many people one person can kill in one day.
This is the maximum we can do here in New Zealand. We didn't even have life with no parole until 2010. Up until then, I believe it was maximum 17 years. I'm so relieved he was given the maximum sentence. Even if we had the death penlty here, which we don't, that would have been an easy escape for him from this world and he deserves no such escape. He needs to spend every moment of the rest of life in a cold, deprived misery.
Yes and most importantly, make him regret what he did to all the people and families he has destroyed. Maybe after 20 years in prison he will be sorry for his actions but then realise that it is too late. Consequences.
Thank you for this comment
I hope they play Islamic prayer in his cell 24 hours a day.
NZ is so cool with how they deal with all this stuff!
@Blanik L-13 yes and with everything else they do lol. Apart from traffic. I went there and the traffic wasn't nice. NZ + Traffic = Bad
@@calebparker9970 lol - guess you've never driven in Cairo.
Definitely! True leader J. ARDEN of NZ in solidarity with all races & religions whereas Trump divide eg. brown, black, yellow & white
@@rickychan7413 yes
The only thing that I regret is the confort he will have in new Zealand prison. But anyway he is will wake up every day as terrorist and spend the whole day alone.. Let him enjoy the life as superior race human behind bars..
Oh no dont worry, you can be sure he is not going to have a normal prison life. Prisoners and guards alike will know who he is, and they will probably have to lock him up in isolation and be treated a lot worse just so other prisoners dont kill him themselves; and its a sentence for life. I dont think anyone will complain about that tbh.
@TheRenaissanceman65 don't need to be in nz prison to know that s huge difference between them and prisons let s say in Egypt or South Africa.. Just search in CZcams..
He should spend the rest of his days on that island lake prison in Russia.
New Zealand is absolutely the gold standard of how a civilised country should be and behave. Jacinta Adern is a model stateperson and I wish our appalling joke of a prime minister, Boris Johnson would take note. The whole country has shown nothing but dignity and composure throughout this dreadful atrocity.
When I have watched the coverage here in the UK, it's marked by the focus being, quite rightfully, on the victims not the monster who perpetrator. Well done New Zealanders, perhaps there's hope yet, you can truly hold your heads high.
I agree she handled the Christchurch massacre really well but as someone who lives in New Zealand, I would not go as far as saying that she is a model statesperson.
I am so proud of new Zealand and new Zealander stand up for justice served by people of new Zealand I am all so an new Zealander in Australia watching this too
@@yurimorgan7460 I suppose when you have Boris'the spaffer'Johnson as a prime minister forced on you by an out dated and antiquated electorial system someone like Ms Adern is fabulous. We have an embarrassing British Trump, honestly, you don't want that!
May I ask why you don't Brevard her as a model statesperson, given the global rise of stupid and incompetent populist heads of state? Obviously, my opinion is formed by what I read and see of her and the decisions she takes.
I’m in New Zealand, all i can say is this was absolutely terrible. My Muslim friend cried for days on end, as one of her auntie’s lost her life.
Why do so many insist on using the word "gunman" or "shooter" in headlines and titles? The word "terrorist" usually only appears later, if at all.
Ahem, 'US guidelines'. Because he's white.
My guess is that CZcams tend to block videos with certain words in the title.
And there are still twisted people out their who think this guy is a sacrificial hero
A life sentence is not enough. In my opinion, it would be better to publicaly execute him. I see no reason to feed a man with such abhorrence.
Imagine being this guys lawyer
See America, this is what you do when someone commits a massacre like this. No "mental health" excuses.
It seems like New Zealand champions justice-unlike the United States
I've lived in NZ for 10 years and moved away a few months before the event. I lived near that mosque.
The thing about the people of NZ is that actions like this bring people together. There is no revenge or hate spread. They come together and show everyone that they will not be broken. People help each other there. I hope that terrorist saw that what he did, only made the country stronger and that he failed in spreading his hate.
My heart goes out to the families of the victims. I know that they are in a great place filled with love and support and they will never have to worry about this happening again.
Meanwhile, a man in the U.S. is sentenced to life for burglary.
Edit: And before anyone else responds back. Yes, he had a criminal history with attempted armed robbery and three nonviolent crimes. However, my point remains the same: a man was sentenced to life for robbery and the decision was upheld by the Louisiana Supreme Court.
I really doubt that one man can be sentenced to life for one or even several burglaries, show me proofs !
@@vincenziojovanoski Look up “ 3 strikes” laws in the US. Many states have them. You commit a 3rd felony and it’s mandatory life. You do get the opportunity for parole. I am aware of a woman who got it for writing bad checks and a guy who got it for stealing a pizza. Granted the pizza guy had a knife so it was deemed “ armed robbery”.
God been with you all and you are in our hearts and minds كان الله معكم جميعاً وأنتم في قلوبنا وعقولنا.
A horrible person getting a justified punishment, I think we all needed this.
When you realize you're not playing gta anymore
should be put on the stretching rack
A life sentence??!! really!! I couldnt imagine anything less than death sentence. This is horrible.
We dont have the death penalty here. He got given the highest sentence possible life without parole and also the first time anyone has been handed such. Previously the highest was about 30 years
@@isaaccollins9984 You don't have a death sentence? weird...
Not that wierd lots of countries dont have it anymore
@@alphabetagamma4142 A fair many countries have abolished capital punishment. This is true for even some USA states.
Really impressed by peoples comments below :) you help restore my faith in people
Public execution please. Life in prison is a waste of tax payers money.
I will never understand how a human being can even think of murdering another of their kind not to mention 51 people.
Good
He's going to drop a soap bar in prison later on.
His going to be someone's bumbitch in New Zealand prison system he will definitely drop the soap on the prison's shower's floor his going well have an very very very very sorry and very very very very very sore arse's
Thanks for stating him as a terrorist and not a person with mental ilness
Big up newzealand thanks for all your support and helping bring this man to justice ❤️
You guys actually called him terrorist! When all other western media is calling him a poor lonely neglected individual who was tricked into it.
I’ve never been to New Zealand, but for many different reasons it seems like one of the most sane and healthy societies in history.
Just imagine being the lawyer defending this terrorist.. I would never want to be in that position for such a monster
alhumdullilah
Would love to hear the reasons behind the "unlikes"
I want to hear what he has to say - whether repentant or not.
4:20 start watching from there for the sentencing
I feel great respect for this judge after having watched this.
Also he ended the sub to pew die pie meme :(
All jokes aside, my heart goes one to the loved ones of those killed.
"That was why We wrote for the Children of Israel that who ever killed a soul, except for a soul slain, or for sedition in the earth, it should be considered as though he had killed all mankind; and that who ever saved it should be regarded as though he had saved all mankind." The Quran Sura 5: AL-MAEDA (THE TABLE): Verse 32
That is brainless bullsht right here
Not really.
Vinz 😂😂😂 You’re brainwashed
@Drinker_Of_ Milk You do know that Muslims follow the bible and torah too right? The quran is basically the final version of the 2 books that came before it in Islams eyes.
@Drinker_Of_ Milk And what's so morally wrong about killing guilty people who are "corrupting" the earth? Seems pretty fair to me.
After this man is locked up never let his name be said again he doesn't deserve a name
İf a Non Muslim killed innocent civilians you call him gunman and if a Muslim did same thing you call him terrorist... That's explain everything.
This comment goes to show how delusional you're. Your logic simply equates to caveman logic.
Nureddin Yalcin but it’s true, but more to do with race in my opinion. If it was a non white person they would be called a terrorist but if it was a white person they would be called mentally ill or just self defense. Not in this case but in other fases
Feels good, hes gonna be rly boored in a couple of years
Very sad to watch, RIL to all 🙏🏽💞😥
Well he will get to live out his days and maybe realize just how wrong his mindset was or at least what little impact his actions even had in terms of effecting policies and change.
I look forward to that inevitable interview 30 years from now
I don’t understand how they send these people to a cushy prison. Slow and painful death should be an adequate sentence.
Ya reap what you sow and that judge is the reaper
I am against death penalty. Death is easy. Suffering lifelong is hard
Too bad they jailed him before he could be booked to speak at the RNC
well us ambassador to newzeland is in talks with the newzeland government regarding this issue
Ty Zlanders! For calling a spade a spade! In American, this monster would have been pardoned, fed a banquet, and speaking at the RNC.
Justice has been served
I'm glad they didn't show the terrorist's face during the video
May this terrorist physically rot in the cell he is thrown in and hopefully for his soul to come to realization that what he has done was beyond inhuman.
Pure evil my hearts go out to all of you it invoked God is and will be your comfort
It's the supposed 'Gods' that are the problem in the first place.
Sad trend of exacerbating the presence of bad people within a race, then going after literally innocent people. These cowards never take on the criminals they claim are doing so much damage to society.
Because that's what prejudice other meaning is: Lazy Thinking (as coined by psychologists). It means that a person lazily thinks everyone within a certain group has the same exact personality. But in reality, even parents and children can be very different from one another even when living with such close proximity.
I watched the whole thing in HD from his cam
After 1.5 years?!?
They need to execute him not sentence him to life they are an extreme danger to society & must be punished ultimately.
Surah 5 - Al-Maaida - Ayah 32
Read from 27-32 it’s talk about killing is like killing all man kind save some one is like u save all man kind. People that kill and died that day or whenever going have a painful punishment in the grave and on judgement for any one that kill Muslim or not
I would like to tell every person who falsified what Islam stands for and contributed in spreading such lies that he is an accomplice for this man and has the blood of these innocent people on his hands.
Who tf thumbs down this?
Lol who do you think you know who did
Once you take the life of one, you will soon crave to take the rest.
He wanted his name to be heard. I hope his inmates heard it too.
Firing squad would be best. An eye for an eye.
If he was in america he would get a job as a cop !
Tell us how you really feel
I don’t get the point of lecturing him, he knows exactly what he did. Just look at him straight in the eye and tell him life in prison.
It’s kind of mandatory to go through the whole formalities in court. Part of how to have fair trials, Justice for all, etc.
People are stupid and need to be reminded how horrible this guy is. This lecture isn't for him, it's for everyone else.
The speech is more for the victims than the Terrorist, they need to hear that justice has and will be done.
Why do you take issue with it?
stevenwall2010 if you saw the uncut footage of what he did you would want him to never have any human interaction ever again. He obviously doesn’t care what he did. I get it, it’s mandatory but I rather him sit in a cell with a letter that says he’s gonna spend the rest of his life in prison.
That sucks that there isn't death penalty. There should be torture and life in prison for him.
And sink to his level? We like to think we are more civilised than to torture our prisoners
@@nzsooz3884 keep him to waste time and resources? No one will go to his level 50 inocente lifes including children vs 1 worthless life.

I am usually against capital punishment. But I feel like this should be an exception.
This guy is going to be tortured in prison.
Tis was how long, a year ago ?
they should've put him up against the wall on live TV
he was on a spiritual journey. jihad does not end for you here
Unfortunately this freak succeeded in what he aimed to do. Just like any other terrorist, he has left people afraid and scarred for life.
I just hope that he does not come to Australia to serve out his sentence, because give our soft judicial system he will get out on parole. If cost is an issue let us pay for his custodial sentence and leave he in NZ.
Tony Schultz That is my concern too. I sure it won’t happen as NZ wants to ensure he remains behind bars until his last breath.
He is a terrorist not a gun man. Well done to the judge for giving him maximum sentence with out perol
Why not the death penalty whether you have it or not?!?!?!?!!!! That Is Beyond Haneous.
No death penalty in New Zealand, besides that's the easy way out. Many extremists are willing to die for their causes.
because some countries are actually civilized.
Do you think he regrets what he has done?
idk why people are trying to make this a communal issue... its simply one person who took the lives of hundreds of innocent mosque worshipers, his reasons to do it doesnt make it any less heinous
He's lucky cuz if this was America he would get death penalty. But they don't have that in New Zealand anymore 😤
I am very sorry to the families who have suffered due to Brenton Tarrant's evil action.
Stay strong.
And know those communities will pay taxes to keep this guy alive for next couple decades. Brilliant!
But btw do they do something in prisons like working, lewrning etc. In New Zealand or they do nothing. Just curious
It depends. There are places that have community programs where the prisoners work in vegetable gardens for the community to use. Lesser offenders are used to keep the streets clean. I know after the big earthquakes we had the local prison helped with the rebuild.
Are there any Christians who support him? Let us know cause you need to end up in the same place as him.
He is still Alive???
This coward's motivation was fame, he craved notoriety.
Along with his full life sentence, he should get no fame, no notoriety.
He should only ever be referred to as, 'the coward of Christchurch' or his prison number, his name should never be mentioned anywhere public.
When ever he is filmed or photographed, his face should always be pixelated and he should it.
Another thing he should know is that when he dies his grave will only have his prison number or the title, 'the coward of Christchurch' for identification.
