A uuseful article although important to point out the death of Ebba Akerlund (or jihadist violence in general) likely had very little to do with Tarrant’s radicalisation: //www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360917188/road-darkness-bondi-father-son-and-radical-world-terror

@Jandal_It I didn't see that. Is that in the article?

[Chris Wilson @Chris___Wilson]

@sillycuts @secondzeit Totally. Also great kiwi bands - Scran, Hans Pucket, Soaked Oats, Soft Bait etc. Be nice to see some of this money go to our own music.

[Chris Wilson @Chris___Wilson]

"His interviews and social media posts reveal him as a militant critic of Islam with sympathies for Alternative for Germany (AfD), which is fiercely opposed to Muslim immigration. He had become increasingly hostile to Germany and critical of its strict hate speech laws"
