“All New Zealand is one," Atacocugu said. “Terrorist is nil.”

That’s a hero. Taking hate and turning it into peace.

Australian white supremacist...

An individual from a group made up of people like him that include some of the lowest forms of life on the planet, just like supremacists of any kind from any other ethnic group.

It was a big relief to have completed my mission.”

Congratulations, Mr. Atacocugu for finishing your mission.

Top lad. Respect to him.

Can’t think of a reason why Bob Fosse and Aly Rustom got thumbed down.

Good on you, Mr. Atacocugu. From a horrible tragedy, he is making something positive in the world, bringing people together and helping children.

A brave and inspirational man. More Mr. Atacocugus in the world, please!

An online donations page showed that by Tuesday afternoon, Atacocugu had raised about 64,000 New Zealand dollars ($43,000) for three charities benefitting children.

He is also raising money for the Key to Life Charitable Trust, the Child Cancer Foundation and Save the Children as part of the walk.

So far more than $60,000 had been donated by Tuesday.

I always wish they would not repeat the name of the killer in these articles. His name should be forgotten from history, while his actions should be recorded.

Pretty powerful of the guy in the story to make this journey. I would imagine it must have been good for his head.

Interesting, I got some downvotes on my comment. It would seem some people don't agree that this guy's name should be forgotten from history. I wonder what type of people would want his name to be remembered. Anyone got any theories?

You know what they are but if I say it the way I'd like I'll be accused of being hysterical.

Hell of a forget me not. And dont forget the -'s

To quote my guy. I've got No sympathy. None.

Australian white supremacist Brenton Tarrant in 2020 pleaded guilty to 51 counts of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder and one count of terrorism
