All New Zealand Asked Trump For Was 'Love'

The only thing New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern asked of President Trump was to 'send sympathy and love for all Muslim communities.'

I used to live and work in NZ for 3 years in early 2000. The Kiwis, whatever religion they observe, are the friendliest, humblest people on earth. It was pouring cats and dogs when arrived at Auckland International, and the cab driver said, "I am sorry, sir, that you have to arrive in our country in this weather." He apologized even though it was not his fault at all. It was July, and that kind of weather is expected. It broke my heart to hear such a horrible act of terrorism taken place in such a peaceful country. Kia Kaha, New Zealand!

[@callum9999]

Why do you all have to use such absurd hyperbole? Apologising for the weather is a completely normal thing - I've been told the exact same thing in tonnes of countries. It's basic empathy. Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice place, it just is categorically not THE friendliest or nicest place in the world.

Thank you, but as a kiwi, New Zealand needs to take accountability too. While the terrorist may not have been a New Zealander, this happened in our country, we gave him guns (when Australia wouldn't have) and he was able to fuel his hateful ideologies with other New Zealanders - far right/white supremacy exists in our country too and we've been ignoring it. But you are right, the best we can do from this is wake up and call out racists, not just sit in silence or ignore it, and not be like the 200 people that viewed his livestream and said nothing. I think that's how we can honor the lives of those 50 people killed. Arohanui always to our Australian brothers and sisters.

New Zealand is far more peaceful with a small population. I have lived in Brasil however and there is not the same attitude to the ownership of guns that the US is so obsessed with (even though there is far more violence) In NZ, we are mostly rural based people who usually own a fair few guns. In our house there is a gun cabinet - locked and concealed through gun laws, with ammunition stored elsewhere.

[@dannykumite]

I don't think trump is a white supremacist. But, he discovered that racism was well in America when he found the birther movement and used it to launch his political career. He was right about that. Racism isn't dead, but surges after Obama. It's sad how this comes about. White people displaced economically by the high tech revolution and global economy and influx of immigrants and skilled workers, are wishful of the old days where a single white Male can earn enough income to support a family. I'm sorry, it's gone, and they directed hatred towards colored people, immigrants, different religion like Muslim. But under all that falsehood is income inequality. It's actually the rich white and privilege that rob the poor white Male. Our laws and government are rigged in their favor.

[@lyndiss.2017]

@@dannykumite I think that even if he had originally embraced a racist narrative for his racism-indepedent goals, the amount of time he was bashed for it while racists and white supremacists become his very few stalwart supporters would quickly compel someone like Trump-a person who bases his judgement on the herd he is in-to adopt the former's judgement and beliefs more and more just so he could secure their support. It's a positive feedback loop. In the end, it doesn't matter if he genuinely believes in those ideologies. When one's instincts act on them, when their reasoning is even cut from the same cloth-then it's not wrong to equate him with racism and white supremacy. In fact, the white supremacists themselves clearly identify Trump as their own kin. I agree with your other points completely. The anger of many of Trump's supporters really missed the real target.

THEN, he championed the Obama Birther Movement (and LIED about the 'evidence' that his 'Hawaii Investigator' had found, which we "wouldn't believe".

@@wrathc53 EXACTLY MY POINT! There are some incredible and mind blowing people in New Zealand. As a complete population however it is average. There is an enormous amount of hatred and greed in this country - just look at the Deputy Prime Minister! Before this attack there was widespread and open hostility to foreigners (I doubt thats vanished - it will slowly creep back as people lose interest in these attacks), homosexual and transgender people are constantly abused (even people who otherwise seem nice do it - I know many really nice people who would do things like refuse to call a transgender acquaintance by their new name because they "aren't a real girl"), sensitive or mentally ill people are just told to "harden up" if they're struggling ("take a concrete pill" etc was something I'd never heard before I moved here, for example) - no wonder we have such high suicide rates. I could go on and on. It's a nice, decent country (why I chose to move here!), but it is not special - and the quicker we can get that out of people's heads, the quicker we can improve.

I agree.

That said, I still think we need more explanation for the 10m before and the 20m after the shooting started (she received his email 10m before and for 20m after he was left with no intervention). I don't doubt her sincerity though. Moreover, at the court ... one count of murder? no terrorism charges? ... totally unacceptable. This terrorist is proud of murdering 50 innocent lives in cold blood including women and children and seriously injured 50 more and by airing his despicable acts wanting to ignite the whole Earth making it unsafe for humanity and no terrorism charges?!!!
