It didn't make sense. 811 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,760 He had a completely different worldview than us, 812 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,440 so they didn't wanna listen to him. 813 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,680 You can't put it all on being crazy 814 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,280 {\an8}and then you have to be confronted with saying, OK, 815 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,680 {\an8}so he has political opinions. 816 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,440 {\an8}The fact that he attacked the Labour Party is also 817 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,640 {\an8}something that I think made it hard for people to understand 818 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,760 the hate towards Muslims that he feels. 819 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,400 I acknowledge the acts, but I do not plead guilty, 820 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,440 and I claim that I was doing it in self-defence. 821 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,480 That's why he targeted the Labour Party 822 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,360 because he believed that they were responsible 823 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,560 for the immigration to Norway. 824 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,480 He believed that he sacrificed himself 825 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,240 because he had to save Norway. 826 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,280 22nd of July happened, Norway as a nation 827 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,360 were in grief, they were in shock 828 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,480 that this happened from one of our own 829 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,000 with white skin, blue eyes. 830 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,480 It took a bit a while before 831 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,480 the society in Norway were able to talk 832 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,360 about the political aspects of this terror attack. 833 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,440 All the attention was on that side of coming back 834 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,800 and showing resilience, showing unity in the pain. 835 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,120 We showed love against hate. 836 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,400 We forgot to talk about the ideology behind it 837 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:15,840 and why he actually did it. 838 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,000 It left a vacuum there for 839 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,960 people who eventually became inspired by Breivik to grow. 840 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,080 We know that others share his ideology 841 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,760 and it evolves. They inspire each other. 842 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,640 You can ask yourself how can Breivik inspire 843 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,640 a guy on the other side of the Earth, 844 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,200 in New Zealand, to commit a terrorist attack like this, 845 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,560 and he again also inspired another guy in Norway. 846 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,080 In 2019, Philip Manshaus killed his sister 847 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,480 and then attacked the Al Noor mosque 848 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,960 in Bærum, very close to Oslo. 849 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,320 All of these three people had their names on a gun 850 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,280 which was used in the Buffalo terrorist attack. 851 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,680 Breivik spent many years planning this attack 852 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,400 while Philip Manshaus was radicalised 853 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,200 unfortunately in a very, very short time. 854 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,080 As time has moved on, 855 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,800 the radicalisation process has also become a lot quicker. 856 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,640 We've seen at least 10 terrorist attacks 857 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,480 who have very specifically cited Breivik. 858 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,960 The people that I think are ignoring the problem 859 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,000 are the big tech companies. 860 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:35,000 It took us five seconds to look at prescribed terrorist material here. 861 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,000 All it takes is typing in "Breivik in 2083" 862 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,880 into a Google search engine, 863 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,000 but it is literally three clicks away. 864 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,720 {\an5}And I think that until that problem is properly addressed, 865 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,160 {\an5}this issue is not going to go away 866 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,080 but will continue getting worse. 867 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,320 - More people will die. - We know that more people will die. 868 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,080 BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA 869 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,960 Murderers and copycats connect 870 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,560 while this online hate 871 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,360 looks for new groups to target. 872 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:13,800 I'm working as an LGBT+ activist for almost 13 years. 873 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,200 I was always trying to create like more safe space. 874 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,640 For years, Roman and his bar had been hounded online. 875 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,640 I was about to meet my boyfriend, go for dinner. 876 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,080 Some friends of us started to call us if we are OK 877 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,440 because there was a shooting. 878 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,400 SURVEILLANCE CAMERA 12 OCTOBER 2022 879 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:36,800 The murderer had shot 880 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,320 two of Roman's friends in front of the bar. 881 00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:42,800 I just took a cab and arrived here. 882 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,280 They started to ask me like one million questions. 883 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,400 It was unclear like who was the murderer and who was the target, 884 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,720 and so I was worried about my life as well. 885 00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:02,160 When I wake up after two hours sleeping, 886 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,960 it was somehow a relief when I heard that he committed suicide. 887 00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:12,160 JOURNALIST 888 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,640 He was a 19-year-old student 889 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,760 who went to high school. 890 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,280 He hasn't had many friends, 891 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,440 so that's why his like real world 892 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,240 was the online one. 893 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,560 We were able to secure the tweets 894 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,560 with the photos of possible targets 895 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,200 including Tepláreň where he made selfies 896 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,600 just two months before the attack. 897 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,520 This was his ideology 898 00:46:37,720 --> 00:46:40,680 to strike the LGBTQI bar. 899 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:41,800 It's not random. 900 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,320 Only hours after the attacker 901 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,280 had struck in Bratislava, 902 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:50,800 his actions and his manifesto 903 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,560 were being celebrated by an international online community. 904 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,840 Academics also analysed the online posts 905 00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:58,880 by the far-right perpetrator. 906 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,960 I'm a tactical and forensic linguist. 907 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,120 I've studied a tonne of manifestos 908 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,440 from a number of far-right lone actors. 909 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,000 I was mainly devastated that there was yet another case. 910 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,280 The Bratislava perpetrator 911 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,640 referred online to the Buffalo attacker 912 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,720 and his offence in May 2022. 913 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,240 I created the file on December 2, 2022. 914 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,960 It lay dormant for months until May of this year 915 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,360 when I picked it up and began seriously working on it again. 916 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,480 He specifically thanked the Terrorgram Collective 917 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,240 in his manifesto. 918 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,920 Terrorgram is a really important place for extremist ideas 919 00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:43,760 because this platform is not really moderated in any way. 920 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,160 They can just spread instructions 921 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,000 how to make a sabotage, how to kill someone. 922 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,200 He's the first one 923 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,760 who was inspired and motivated by the Terrorgram community, 924 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,360 the first saint of Terrorgram. 925 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,320 The attacker from Halle an der Saale 926 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,800 was also referred to as a saint by the Terrorgram Collective. 927 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,760 He killed two people. 928 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,680 Leave the door open. 929 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,080 F*ck. 930 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,040 Stephan Balliet, when he committed his attack, 931 00:48:13,240 --> 00:48:16,880 there was a discussion if he was a loser or a saint. 932 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,000 Krajcik was labelled as a saint almost instantly after 933 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,880 the attack, despite his low kill count. 934 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,680 The Bratislava perpetrator 935 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,320 had supporters worldwide - 936 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,160 including in Austria. 937 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,760 {\an8}There is a global exchange here, 938 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,360 {\an8}regardless of which attacks 939 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,960 {\an8}happened around Europe in recent years. 940 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,760 There are also connections to Austria in Bratislava. 941 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,200 You also mentioned that the operators of these platforms 942 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,480 are not subject to be obligated to cooperate 943 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,200 with the authorities. 944 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,640 Telegram is a special case here. 945 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,440 There has never been any real support 946 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,040 from Telegram 947 00:48:57,240 --> 00:48:59,280 for us here in Austria. 948 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,640 The members of Terrorgram were therefore able to spread hate 949 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,720 worldwide and unhindered for years. 950 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,840 A woman from the USA played a key role in this. 951 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,160 There is a female narrator explaining 952 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,280 what kind of methods were used during the attack. 953 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,680 She was from California, from Bakersfield. 954 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,400 Between 1968 and 2021, 955 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,920 105 white men and women of action 956 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,480 have taken it upon themselves 957 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,280 to wage war against the system and our racial enemies. 958 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,080 Our saints are the best of our brothers, and this is our legacy 959 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:33,320 of white terror. 960 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,640 And there are further indications 961 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,400 that the Bratislava perpetrator was assisted 962 00:49:38,720 --> 00:49:40,480 by people on Terrorgram. 963 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,160 When I read the Bratislava manifesto, 964 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,800 I was very surprised at just the language. 965 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,560 It was pretty clear to me that this was not written 966 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,080 by a 19-year-old native Slovak speaker. 967 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,720 It had very formal vocabulary, 968 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,760 minimal grammatical mistakes. 969 00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,000 It showed me that we're potentially dealing with a hidden author 970 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,400 that provided language for certain sections of the manifestos, 971 00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:06,440 likely an American, 972 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,200 possibly older and educated. 973 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,600 In summer 2024, the FBI arrested 974 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,080 the narrator and an accomplice. 975 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,960 The woman had offered the Bratislava perpetrator a reward: 976 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,120 If he were to murder, 977 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,600 she would read his terror manifesto as an audio book. 978 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,520 She kept her promise. 979 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,440 Hail the saints and hail our glorious 980 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,000 and bloody legacy of white terror. 981 00:50:32,840 -->
