How inconsiderate! Imagine how many people could have been exposed to covid during the stabbing?
New Zealand takes covid very seriously and will be likely looking at increased lock down measures to stop the spread in light of this super stabbing errr spreading.
Lol! Just LMFAO.

was followed by police after leaving home all the way to the supermarket
And then what ?
Then after stabbing 6 people, was shot by an undercover officer and died.
I saw the press conference live with the nz pm talking about him being from Sri Lanka, but that he was a lone wolf, blah blah, yet she said he had been under constant surveillance since 2016, after being released from prison, but they had no authority to keep him locked up.
What a world.
But we can keep people locked up for not accepting the vax !

Western Leaders sent troops. The civilians did not participate.
if the logic then extends to everyone from a western country is guilty, then I posit that every muslim is responsible. Yet we are told that is not the case.

So you're saying that welcoming people from Sri Lanka into our countries, who then go on to attempt to murder innocent people, is justified because of the ME?
you know where SL is, right?
These ME countries have been at war for centuries. it's in their nature. You've only been at it a few hundred years.
If Western countries hadn't lied and used violent means in order to invade and/or infiltrate ME countries, and let's be honest, it was completely greed driven, which in turn is fueling extremist groups like ISIS, and people who sympathize with them (which I'm guessing is the case here), then would these random stabbing events happen?
And at the very least, it's the turmoil caused by Western governments which is creating refugees, so they should feel obligated to take them in.
And on another point, if as I'm lead to believe, the suspect in this case was under surveillance, how do we know that wasn't the reason in which lead him to commit this act?
....but what Western politician thought invading these countries under the lie of 'freedom'
....while committing war crimes....
.... apart from line their own, and their financial backers' pockets.

Looks like the plan is in motion. The largest terrorist country in the world (America) has emboldened and equipped chaos amongst the rest of the world.
Let the forever war begin.

The news is saying "inspired by ISIS" but I am not sure of that claim as just plain old religion and the call of 72 virgins is enough to set some of these idiots off. The good news is he was on a watch list and was being tracked and followed or this might have been much worse .
This is the first article I have seen where the country he is from and the possible motivation is covered. I saw the New Zealand press conference where they went out of their way to not disclose his prior nationality or possible ISIS connections.." He acted alone" etc etc
With the news of the Taliban pushing their people through the gates for exit out of Afghanistan I wonder if this sort of thing will be more common place only on a larger scale in the future ?
A 'violent extremist' who was 'inspired by ISIS' and on a terror watchlist has been shot dead by police in an Auckland supermarket after stabbing at least six people in an 'out of control' rampage.
Six people have been left fighting for life in hospitals across New Zealand's north island on Friday afternoon while the knifeman died inside the Countdown supermarket in New Lynn, in the city's south.
Three of the victims were described as 'critical' with neck and chest wounds, after hero shoppers rushed to give first aid to the wounded.
The 32-year-old Sri Lankan national, known only as 'S' for legal reasons, was followed by police after leaving home all the way to the supermarket where he grabbed a knife from a shelf and started the attack.
There had been fears of an imminent terror attack in the wake of the Taliban takeover and the chaotic departure from Afghanistan, with extremists emboldened by the radical Islamists amid global uncertainty.
