It bothers me that his name was mentioned in this article, much less repeated multiple times.

There was a concentrated effort to keep it out of the media at the time, with the general consensus being that publicizing the names of these guys only makes it more appealing to others in the future.

The Associated Press, and JT as the publisher, have both flouted this for no good reason.

He should be referred to by other more journalistic terms, such as 'the shooter', or 'the convicted'.

If he thinks this CoVID-19 and his guilty plea is going to get him off the hook he'd better think again. Nonetheless, the plea change is a plus - now the NZ system can jail this scumbag for good with a quicker trial.

He is a coward and a wimp. NZ thankfully doesn’t have the death penalty. If he is a real man (without an inferiority complex), go to a Muslim country and see what happens to him when detained. Hope he is rotted in a cell naked with the Mongrel Mob as his teachers.

If you go round killing people randomly under the guise of a racist redneck for no reason,

If you read his manifesto, you would know he had a reason. Not that I agree with it, but the claims of "random" and "no reason" are simply wrong.

Don´t know which muslim country you are talking about, but in most I can think of he would get killed on the spot right there, if he shot up a mosque. What is your point?
