The actual people who can do it competently are very rare, though, and they're usually watched by the government. Aum Shinrikyo had all the equipment they needed to do biotech, and in fact actually obtained anthrax and was attempting to obtain smallpox, ebola, and other darlings of bioterror wannabes. They were too organizationally insane to do it effectively, though. It requires an organization with serious discipline and a command structure to run this kind of thing. They were more successful with their nerve agents, although even those were second rate.

They had a number of gifted scientists in these fields, too, they just didn't have the organization for it.

Of course this was 25 years ago. The technology is only going to continue to become more accessible. There are probably NGOs currently capable of doing this, but the combination of one competent to do it while also being insane enough to want to do it isn't very common.

Shinrikyo picked the wrong dispersal method and quantity. They used a very poor method to mix the binary agents, and should have done something more technical. It shows in that only 50 people were killed when every variable was in their favor. Also a few deciliters of solution had no chance at destroying their target. They were very foolish in this reguard. Something like vx would have been much better because it is persistent, and you can leave it on surfaces your target will touch. It is also not too difficult to make if you have white phosphorus and the infrastructure to handle it.

This is what has changed. The technology since even the 2010s has advanced leaps and bounds. These days there are manuals and papers on doing nearly anything. The only thing which is hard to get hold of is actual reagents and cells. These require you to have a business address when ordering

Aum had a myriad of business fronts, legitimate and otherwise, sometimes connected to members they'd recruited so they had a plausible existence before any relation to the cult. So any time they needed anything, they'd just get it for a "legitimate" purpose for a business that had a justification for buying such things. Restricting sale of reagents to businesses may be okay to stop a lone crazy but it isn't going to do shit to stop an NGO, even an utterly insane one like Aum, from getting whatever they want.

'Wicked' Christchurch mosque gunman sentenced to life without parole
https://news.yahoo.com/amphtml/wicked-christchurch-mosque-gunman-sentenced-022236744.html (https://archive.vn/5oYPH)

New Zealand mosque gunman Brenton Tarrant was sentenced to life in prison without parole Thursday for the massacre of 51 Muslim worshippers, with a judge calling him "wicked" and "inhuman".

Judge Cameron Mander said that behind Tarrant's "warped" ideology was a "base hatred" that led him to attack defenceless men, women and children last year in New Zealand's worst terror attack.

"It is incumbent on the court to respond in a way that decisively rejects such vicious malevolence," Mander said as he announced a sentence unprecedented in New Zealand legal history.

The judge said Tarrant had failed in his aim of promoting right-wing extremism as he gunned down victims in cold blood but the New Zealand Muslim community had still paid a terrible price.

"It was brutal and beyond callous. Your actions were inhuman," the judge said.

Tarrant -- a 29-year-old Australian white supremacist -- sparked global revulsion on March 15, 2019 when he rampaged through two Christchurch mosques for 20 minutes during Friday prayers.

He had admitted 51 charges of murder, 40 of attempted murder and one of terrorism over the attacks, after reversing an initial not-guilty plea.

Crown prosecutor Mark Zarifeh said the atrocity was "without comparison in New Zealand's criminal history".

'Racist and xenophobic'

"The offending was motivated by an entrenched racist and xenophobic ideology... in my submission, the offender is clearly New Zealand's worst murderer," he said.

Zarifeh said life behind bars was "the only proper sentencing option" for Tarrant.

"No minimum period is sufficiently long to satisfy sentencing objectives given the gravity of the offending and the devastating loss of life and injury," he said.

Throughout the sentencing, Tarrant remained impassive as the court heard harrowing testimony from dozens of his victims and their families.

"Since my husband and son passed away, I've never had a proper, normal sleep. I don't think I ever will," widow Ambreen Naeem told the court.

"His punishment should continue forever," she said.

Tarrant accepted the sentence and waived his right to speak at the sentencing.

Fearing Tarrant may use the platform to spout extremist ideology, the court had imposed tight restrictions on reporting of proceedings.

Before sentencing, Tarrant, a former gym instructor, had sacked his legal team and declared he would represent himself.

Instead, court-appointed lawyer Pip Hall made a brief one-line statement on his behalf before the judge delivered his sentence.

"Mr Tarrant does not oppose the application that he should be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole," Hall said.

Arguing against life behind bars, counsel assisting the court Kerry Cook said Tarrant's views had changed while he had been jailed and he had offered to meet the families in "restorative justice" session.

"Given his age, lack of previous record and guilty pleas, there is a prospect of rehabilitation," he told the court, saying a whole-life sentence breached fundamental human rights.

Zarifeh said Tarrant's belated description of his actions as "unnecessary, abhorrent and irrational" were questionable.

"(Tarrant) said he had a poisoned emotional state and was terribly unhappy," Zarifeh said.

"He felt ostracised by society and wanted to damage society as an act of revenge.

"Yet at the same time, the offender described the offending as definitely an act of terrorism."

The atrocity shocked New Zealand and prompted Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to immediately tighten gun laws and pressure social media giants to curb online extremism.

let him rot.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

I hope he's miserable for the rest of his life. It's the least he deserves.

 

[Foltest]

Have fun in prison faggot.

 

[Fareal]

Yeah, there is no prospect of rehabilitation. You wanted to give your life for the sped jihad, stop trying to weasel out of it now.

He killed a three year old toddler cowering behind his father.

I hope he gets put in the same cell As Horsecock Harry and the two become the BEST of friends.

I'm just going to say this
Fuck Brenton Harrison Tarrant for killing unarmed civilians including CHİLDREN AND ELDERLY treating his whole atrocity like a huge meme and appearing in his sentencing hearing because he's the absolute scum of the earth life imprisonment isn't what he deserves he deserves a firing squad
And Fuck Jacinda Kate Laurell Ardern the New Zealand police and the New Zealand government for doing everything in their power to give this fucker everything he wanted for his accelerationist ideology from banning semiautomatic weapons(which WAS İN HİS MANİFESTO) to literal thought police to going after the people that wanted to see the atrocities of Tarrant because they wanted to see how much of a cocksucker Brenton Tarrant truly is

They can deport him after he finishes his sentence...oh wait

 

[JohnDoe]

It sounds like the NZ government has stepped up their game and probably threatened his family or something similar to force this public cuckening.

I'm not bothered by it. His true intentions are clear and his just reward for the torment will be forthcoming.

 

[Save the Loli]

How do we know if this is even true with what the ultra-tight censorship surrounding this trial? For all we know Brenton went on another rant about Spyro making him shoot up Muzzies but the government censors told them to write something else.

I think it's a great approach since it denies the guy another chance to troll the media, but I'm skeptical this is what he's actually been saying.

 

[Troonos]

He's the hero Portland needs right now.

I think this is the most horrifying bit. Tarrant got everything he wanted out of the act as per the manifesto, and will probably commit suicide after a short while to meet the last thing he laid out in it. He won, mass resistance to the new gun laws means eventually the goverment is going to have to do something overt to enforce them and that will mean even more bloodshed.

 

[Thought precriminal]

A lot of butthurt in this thread. Hopefully he gets a copy of Epictetus in his cell. Sadly, they'll probably pump him full of drugs to slowly whittle away his resolve and his sanity.

What mass resistance? Most of NZ don't seem to mind it much. He only made it easier to make the people accept the new restrictions.

Last I checked, the number of firearms turned in was pitiful in comparison to the number of registered arms that were not, and the country is long past the amnesty period for voluntary turning them in.

What the shit, didn't Jacinda Ardern go ham on Scott Morrison over something similar? What the fuck is wrong with Kiwis, why are they so determined to burn bridges with their best friend in the region?
