It took police officers in New Zealand 36 minutes to catch the terrorist who murdered 50 people in two Christchurch mosques last week. Dramatic footage shows that just two officersâonly one of whom had a gunâapprehend the suspect after his bloody rampage. We are now learning that this response time would have been longer, but police happened to be conducting a drill nearby practicing for a similar attack.
In what can be described as an extremely strange âcoincidence,â Chris Cahill, a detective inspector who is president of a local labor union for police officers, explained that officers were involved in a drill near the city center when the shooting broke out.
According to the NY Times:
The police said a special armed tactical unit arrived at Al Noor Mosque four minutes after the first officers, or 10 minutes after the initial emergency call.
Mr. Cahill said it normally would have taken longer, with team members summoned to a police station to suit up. On Friday, though, they happened to be in a training session in the city center and wearing their gear, he said.

Police in New Zealand donât typically carry firearms, much less dress in tactical gear, so officers holding a drill with all their tactical equipment and weapons at the ready was a helpful coincidence indeed.

In November of 2015, during the tragic attacks on Paris, it was later reported that Paris-area emergency personnel and ambulance crews were taking part in a simulated emergency exercise on the very same day.
The exact nature of the drill was a simulated mass shooting attack, according to Dr. Mathieu Raux, emergency room chief at the PitiÊ-Salpetrière hospital in Paris.
Also, during the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., North American Aerospace Defense Commandâs (NORAD) was in the midst of a training exercise called Vigilant Guardian, which âcoincidentallyâ simulated planes being hijacked by terrorists.
As if these two events werenât a strange enough âcoincidence,â the London subway attacks on 7/7 also encompassed drills happening only days prior to that terrorist attack.

Christchurch = 138
Donald Trump = 138
Black Sun Shine = 138
Six One Six = 138
While 666 is called the "number of the beast" in most manuscripts of Revelation 13:18, a fragment of the earliest papyrus 115 gives the number as 616.

Another particularly strange coincidence is the fact that 30 survivors of the Parkland shooting traveled to Christchurch last July. The purpose of that trip, according to Sandi Davis, a sociology teacher at Stoneman Douglas, was a way to help the students cope with the tragedy they experienced and also as a way for them to learn how to sustain the anti-gun violence movement they had begun in the Parkland shootingâs aftermath.

Why am I not surprised by this? And why all the banning on all the video, music, weapons and other things used and such? This is one funny occurrence.
