Brenton Tarrant, the white supremacist who live-streamed his massacre of 51 people at two New Zealand mosques last year, was sentenced to life in prison without parole Thursday for carrying out the worst atrocity in the country's modern history, reports WaPo.

Life without parole for the Christchurch terrorist. First time in New Zealand's history. An extraordinary testament to the courage of survivor's and their families.

Just imagine how the media would have covered the Kenosha shooting if the shooter had been a Muslim instead of a white male?
