      1. An emerging argument you are hearing on the right -- not from large numbers of people but some significant voices -- is that the Christchurch killer had "legitimate" concerns: He went too far but his goals should be pursued with extrajudicial violence.https://twitter.com/UrbanAchievr/status/1106658850944344065 …

      This is an official press release from Fraser Anning, an Australian Senator about the #NZMosqueShooting. It is absolutely one of the most anti-Muslim and bigoted things I’ve read from a politician, and to come after a terrorist attack — unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/H1xgV22A4m

          Nobody is responding to their charge that there is a "replacement" by immigrants taking place in Europe. Is anybody telling them that it's not happening? All I read is condemnation the reaction (hate/killing).

          Not sure if this comes off as a "legitimate concern," but I suggest these people have concerns (which are illegitimate) that we must understand if we are to defeat evil. The alt-right feels victimized. I'd call that objectively ridiculous, but ignoring it misses their impetus.
