Fucking trucks, we need to ban assault trucks. There is no reason to have a truck so powerful it can run over dozens of people. Law abiding citizens do not need trucks this powerful.


Seriously tho, this really sucks. I feel bad for France.

I want to hear about their traffic barrier plans. Yes, i know it was a big truck, but there are barriers that are quick and easy to place around large gatherings of people that'll at least disable the truck after a certain point.

In this one, he just rammed the crowd, hopped out and opened fire, hopped back in, drive somewhere else crowded and repeated.

These folks are being unpredictable though.

France is starting to sound like the beginning of the Insurgency period in Iraq.

Yes. It will continue to get worse as well, not just in France. As daesh loses territory in Syria and Iraq all of those foreign fighters are going to start heading home.

A sadly poignant prediction, even if it's a bit early to attribute this attach to ISIS directly.

Doesn't matter if it was ISIS or another asshole group of radical Islamic fuckheads.

Unless you think it was a frog that was pissed that the local cafe didn't have his favorite wine.

Was this another attack from the religion of peace?

I wonder how desperate the truck driver was according to time4fun? Maybe she'll drop by to share some of her insight.

Was this another attack from the religion of peace?

Which uh, which religion is that? Here's a helpful list of the top 5. They all preach peace, and they all have radical groups. So you're going to need to be more specific.

1 Christianity 2.1 billion
2 Islam 1.3 billion
3 Hinduism 900 million
4 Buddhism 376 million
5 Sikhism 23 million

Edit to add: And might I add, Judaism might have been in that number five spot if Christianity hadn't pretty effectively genocided it during the second world war. That is, if you blame 2.1 billion Christians for Hitler's Third Reich, of course. But that's just silly, right?

I think the specific motivations of the attacker are important. Lumping all islamic terrorism together won't help to solve anything.
