I saved a lot of content surrounding the issue, right away. I'll revisit it when the media dies down and you can actually post the material without attracting too much attention.
My first take was that this Australian who had no means of financing himself, made it to New Zealand and acquired a lot of guns and a car.
Then, he wrote a 74 page manifesto where he, as a "white supremacist" described he did not "blame Israel", making him a bit of a hen's tooth in the white supremacy arena, and was a "green traditionalist" which is basically a socialist, which everyone is supposed to be emotional about, right now.
I think it is also curious that a Mossad cell was exposed with the New Zealand earthquake in 2011.
This is the part that has me asking questions. He is competent, most shooters are a nervous wreck after their first kill, and loose all ability to keep a bead on their next target, or panic once they think they have no escape route or plan to live through this. He was arrested, alive. If he did this in america, he would have been shot without question. This place was also chosen from a list, which means evaluation of multiple possible target sites. this would be difficult for a team of experts let alone a single person.
This suggests training and combat experience in live fire engagements, and is too organized for him to be working alone.
