I don't know how Dan feels about it being posted here, but I always try to understand
the motives of people who do these things, to the extent possible, so we know what's out there. He was very clear about the beliefs and experiences that he says drove him to violence, and he's anything but alone in his perceptions and feelings about it. This is far from the last of it's kind, unfortunately, that we're going to see.
And though BK keeps trying to paint him as a psychotic lunatic, he writes in a measured, way, enunciating his thoughts quite clearly. There are even passages that BK probably agrees with, such as...
āThe US is torn into many factions by its second amendment, along state, social, cultural and, most importantly, racial lines. With enough pressure the left wing within the United states will seek to
abolish the second amendment, and the right wing within the US will see
this as an attack on their very freedom and liberty. This attempted abolishment of rights by the left will result in a dramatic
polarization of the people in the United States and eventually a fracturing
of the US along cultural and racial lines. Why did you choose New Zealand as a place to attack?
New Zealand was not the original choice for attack, I only arrived to New
Zealand to live temporarily whilst I planned and trained, but I soon found
out that New Zealand was as target rich of an environment as anywhere
else in the West. Secondly an attack in New Zealand would bring to attention the truth of
the assault on our civilization, that no where in the world was safe, the
invaders were in all of our lands, even in the remotest areas of the world
and that there was no where left to go that was safe and free from mass
immigration.ā
Note also his repeated use of the word āinvadersā and āinvasion.ā Who else enjoys using that emotive word?
