I guess if they ALL rushed him a bunch would survive, but a scared human brain doesn't think of that
the back exit was their only choice
A few questions about heroic Brenton Tarrant

Feel free to do better. Until then shut the fuck up or take it to Zig Forums.

1. I presume he must have wanted to experience killing someone with a shotgun, he will have seen it done in the movies, thought yeah it would be cool to off someone with the shotgun but knew it was no good for a killing spree, for that he needed the machine guns, but he took the shotgun as well just to experience a kill with that.
2. Maybe mistakes due to nervousness and inexperience, it's not like he'd done s killing spree before, maybe he was high, maybe he spoked pot to calm his nerves before he went, so maybe he wasn't thinking the best, who knows, maybe he knew the cops wouldn't show and he'd have time to waste, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3. Shooting people is more fun than burning ; )
4. The speed at which the muslims had all got into the corners means it was planned, they clearly had prepared for such an event and the plan they'd all agreed on was to pile up in the corner, presumably the young ones were covered by the others to protect them, stupid plan really as there was enough of them to rush him or alternatively all try and run out or some rich him and others run out, but looking st it from their perspective they didn't know how many shooters there was initially.
As due throne that rushed him, o don't think he did, it looks like whilst brenton had turned to the right and was shooting that group that a guy from the left saw his chance to get away, he clearly was trying to run behind Brendon and to run down the corridor, if he'd have gone for brenton instead maybe things would have been different.

Because a simple shotgun is one of the most effective anti-personnel weapons a regular person owns. AR-15s are nice for battle rifles but you'll notice that Brenton killed far more kebabs with the AK clone than the AR. The 5.56 round is designed to pass through and wound rather than kill.
Would you want to run around carrying three rifles?
Idk. Tis a shame but you know what they say about plans and bullets flying.
Did you even watch the video? They were all trying to escape. That's why they were crowded around the corner windows. They were desperately trying to get out. Typical stampede behavior, lol.
An unusually brave young man. Glad he's dead. Most of us, if roles had been reversed, would have ended up being in the corners trying to get out the window.
I like to imagine that I'd charge an islamic gunman but I've only been in one life-threatening situation and it was not comprable.
I hope I have answered your questions to your satisfaction.

As for the guy that rushed him, i don't think he did, it looks like whilst brenton had turned to the right and was shooting that group that a guy from the left saw his chance to get away, he was clearly trying to run behind Brendon without brenton knowing so he could run down the corridor, if he'd have gone for brenton instead maybe things would have been different.

Remove yourself from the gene pool, reddit faggot.

Yeah, he was definitely trying to run past him. Didn't stop the faggots trying to label him a hero.

A person's reaction to something like this is generally ingrained. I grew up in the hood and I've been shot at before. I've also fought a lot and have stabbed people with a small switchblade (I usually carry a bowie knife and a Sig P229 in my car for close quarters combat nowadays).
For me at least, the decision to run or fight comes naturally, but many people I know freeze up when confronted with a dangerous situation. Freezing up is also a natural response, therefore it tends to be the go-to response for most people. This response evolved due to the fact that dangerous predators like wolves and lions see moving targets much better than they see still ones and associate running targets with prey animals - you aren't going to outrun a wolf or a lion so you're much better off freezing up and hoping the predator gets confused.
Obviously freezing up in an active shooter situation is a terrible idea - you're just an easy target, but to overcome a strongly ingrained natural response is difficult. It requires training, or you're just one of the lucky ones that naturally possesses a warrior instinct to assess a dangerous situation quickly and make the correct decision. If I was in that room, I would have jumped out of the window and ran the fuck out of there (I'm not stupid enough to attempt to fight a guy with a rifle from mid-range), or I would have drawn my bowie knife and hid somewhere in a narrow hallway, waiting for him to walk by as a large knife is much more deadly than a gun in extreme close quarters (although there were no hiding spots in that room, so the former option is much more likely).
I don't really blame the people that froze, they aren't fighters and haven't had a rough-and-tumble upbringing, so they were lying there and praying, hoping that the shooter wouldn't enter the room or would think they're dead and not fire at them, or have mercy on them as non-threatening targets and refuse to shoot them.

1. Taking 2 guns is smart. He had plenty of reloads for the AR and reloading a shotgun takes a long time. So using the shotgun till it was empty then tossing it effectively gave him a few extra shots before having to reload. The likely hood of both guns malfunctioning is very low, so having 2 long guns insured some kills.
2. Semi-autos malfunction more than people realize. It's likely his main AR was jammed. He was saying fuck over and over again when he went to the car as if something was seriously wrong.
3. I'm guessing his plan was to detonate the petrol bombs, but for some reason decided not to. Maybe he forgot his detonator or lost it when he was knocked down.
4. This is pretty common in a shooting situation. Most people are frozen with terror and try to just hunker down and hope they aren't killed. Probably the most common thing people ask in the comments of any shooting or execution video are things to the effect of "why didn't anyone fight?" or "why are they just waiting to be executed?" Most civilians are never in a situation like this so they really don't understand that your brain just isn't working logically.
I was thinking the same thing. As per #4 fleeing in abject terror is much more likely than an attempt to fight.

Just use a drone, you can kill more and get away with it clean.
