Some justice for the victims & families of terror attack shootings in mosques in New Zealand. I hope this sentencing will give all affected by the atrocity some closure. We cannot become complacent about the threat from far-right terrorism. #newzealandshootings https://twitter.com/cnn/status/1298880449142493184">https://twitter.com/cnn/statu...

There have been 3 days of harrowing & heartbreaking victim impact statements. Some relatives of victim’s expressed forgiveness, while others expressed anger towards the terrorist. No right or wrong responses when grieving such an awful atrocity. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12359668">https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/a...
This is the first time ever that the New Zealand court of law has removed the possibility of parole.
