CNN's @AFieldCNN is in Christchurch, NZ. She noticed parents bringing their kids to the vigil site. "One parent told me it's because 'this is a problem that will be inherited by the next generation.' He called it 'a filthy international disease' that has now reached New Zealand." pic.twitter.com/tbnVI9TpAY

We saw a nearly 50% increase in white nationalist hate groups between 2017 – 2018. https://t.co/LMTb73Nxzt
