The atrocities committed on 15 March 2019 were the actions of an evil terrorist in that they were designed to spread fear and to silence those who did not share his world view. However, the actions of New Zealanders following that in their denouncing of him and what he stood for has shown that he failed miserably if his outcome was to change our way of life and our way of thinking. We have shown, as a nation, that we are not prepared to give in to fear, that we are not prepared to tolerate extreme hate, and that we are not prepared to let anything like the wickedness that took place on March 15 to ever happen in New Zealand again.
