Truck drove over crowd of people celebrating Bastile Day, followed by gun fire. What a shitty week.

7/14/2016 5:59:38 PM

This one looks pretty bad. Reports are 30 dead 100+ injured. Driver of truck apparently fired on crowd and police once the truck was finally stopped. Driver is apparently dead.

Some pretty awful pictures out there on Twitter.

7/14/2016 6:03:37 PM

Fuck, man

7/14/2016 6:16:20 PM

Just saw some really stomach churning video. broken bodies all along a very long stretch of road.

Interesting that MSNBC analyst is already saying this was a jihadist attack. No official word yet, but I'm sure they have more than just speculation to go on.

Daily maul reports that there may also be a hostage situation at a nearby hotel.

CNN just mentioned a similar type thing in NC on small scale.. huh?

7/14/2016 7:53:26 PM

I suspect this is going to end up with a higher death toll than Bataclan. Truck might have driven as much as a mile hitting people all the way.

Never mind that none of them get jobs and they destroy your tourism and now cause mass killings

Yep! This is part of the reason why Great Britain left the EU. It wasn't a bad move either. It's probably only a matter of time before something like this happens in the USA.

7/14/2016 8:47:24 PM

ISIS had a terror attack that killed 200 a little more than a week ago, on Baghdad, that killed mostly muslims.

Refugees and muslims dont cause mass killing, ISIS is the problem. They want a war against islam more than anyome.

Extremism on both sides are their life blood and trump and his ilk are giving this to them.

I don't expect you to understand this but the more important immigration issue to a lot in the UK was Eastern European, not Muslim.

Brexit ain't looking so bad now. Germany leaves next. The rest will follow. Muslims have fucked themselves now.

7/14/2016 9:30:38 PM

^^ Yup. Although the remain supporters all said it was anti-muslim racists voting leave. Muslim immigration, refugee issues, etc. are a much bigger concern on continental europe.

Stuff like the attack today, the rape issues in scandanavia, etc. are going to end up resulting in more countries leaving the EU. I would not be surprised if a lot of right wing political parties make significant gains in many countries. Hollande will probably not survive this politically. Merkel is facing real opposition because of her migrant policies, and there are other countries with strong nationalist parties at the moment.

Europe is going to have some real political upheaval the next couple of years.

Well, they probably will get their wish. It's pretty much a necessity for western nations to present a united front against ISIS. I expect there will be a military surge against ISIS strongholds including additional NATO troops, which they will then say is a war on Islam.

The one thing about this that seems very odd to me is why the hell would he have firearms in the back of the truck if this was a solo act. There almost have to have been other people who could be involved. Maybe they were unable to meet the truck there, maybe accomplishes backed out, etc.

Just seems odd for one guy to have thought that he would be able to run a bunch of people over, and then just be able to utilize many weapons to continue attacking.

7/14/2016 9:49:44 PM

Well a united front against ISIS and the like is necessary and they need to be utterly destroyed. But the way he phrased it as WW3 against Muslims is basically their wet dream for recruitment.

7/14/2016 9:51:39 PM

i don't understand "this is what they want" argument approach.

Clearly, giving what they don't want isn't working. There will always be a war islam because everytime these events happen, a fucking rag head gets out of the truck and yells allah ackbar.

There is no way Germany is leaving, considering they're the ringmaster of the current EU shitshow.

They're losing significant ground in Iraq and Syria. They're losing support because the size of their caliphate is shrinking. They aren't getting the influx of new recruits they had when they were taking territory.

If they can make it appear that there is a concerted war by the West on Islam itself they will be able to bolster their forces, more people will rally to them, etc.

7/14/2016 10:39:01 PM

Really feel awful for the people of France.

I remember after 9/11 there was a strong attitude of finding who did that and making sure they couldn't do it again. If anything it took the fight to Al-Queda and gave us a sense of security over here. France (as well as Europe and western civilization) is fighting a religion. Who do they go after? What do they do to at least feel a sense of security.

And on a personal level, how are they supposed to protect themselves? Any type of personal weapon is banned in France. They have to be feeling pretty desperate right now considering that they have no way to protect themselves when the next attack happens.

***Gun control success stories, Post them here***

7/14/2016 11:19:19 PM

I wish liberals and the POTUS would defend police officers half as aggressively as they defend Muslims.

After an ISIS shooting, the response is “This doesn’t represent ISLAM, there are many more peaceful Muslims than terrorist”.
After a police shooting, the response is “This IS representative of our RACIST society and police”. (Before due process even starts).

If an American shot up a Mosque, we all know the left would immediately attribute it to “Islamaphobia” and conservative rhetoric.

When anti-cop, anti-white crazies target cops, you can’t help but wonder if it may not have happened if the media/left didn’t create such a hostile atmosphere for cops so irresponsibly.

To act as if these headline cases are representative of the American justice system, to act as if race is the primary factor, is deliberate ignorance and it is absolutely irresponsible. That’s the divider in chief for you folks, can’t miss an opportunity to tell your voter base they are oppressed victims that need big government, or to mention that only big government needs the big guns.

7/14/2016 11:42:29 PM

Just remember why ISIS exists in the first place. They exist because we invaded Iraq and destabilized the region.

7/14/2016 11:48:01 PM

Seriously. France don't play. They will nuke mecca whether it's right or wrong. (I think it's wrong). Seriously the absolute worst time and place imaginable to pull a general ackbar

7/15/2016 12:15:05 AM

I'm sorry you don't understand history but that explains it all. There is a long brutal history of systematic oppression and corruption within police departments and the institution of the us justice system as a whole. Islam is not a systematic religion. Westboro Baptist is a Christian church but it still does not represent all of Christianity. A protest by them reflects bad on just that church. IsIs does not represent Islam. An isis attack reflects bad on isis and has nothing to do with the rest of islam.

Not his fault at all, hes a reality tv star.

He will make things far worse if he becomes president though.

ISISs caliphate is crumbling, but it remains to be seen how this affects their terrorism. Theyve killed more muslims than Trump could ever dream to though, so theyre not making friends there.

A vague reference to past racism doesn't really count for anything in a 2016 comparison. If you want to compare the pasts of both I'm sure Islam has just as much dirty laundry by civilized western standards.

Replace "isis" with "individual cop" and "Islam" with "police". If your logic was consistent you would be able to go along with that, but since your logic is driven by the liberal victimhood heirarchy it doesn't compute for you. The POTUS goes out of his way to lecture America on "Islamaphobia", but loves to validate "PoliceaPhobia". If you think "Policeaphobia" sounds ridiculous (which it is), now you know how non-SJWs see "Islamaphobia". The funny thing is if you want to look at the body bag statistics, the one I just made up is more substantial than your liberal narrative... and that's the point.

7/15/2016 12:53:38 AM

the logic is consistent. no one is talking about the actions of an individual cop. they are talking about the department covering for the bad individual cops, the DA not going for charges, the jury acquitting the cop, the politicians passing laws that give cops more power, and this whole cycle happening over and over again.

7/15/2016 1:02:40 AM

The determination of the left to skew reality to align with their narratives never ceases to amaze me.

Sorry liberals, the shooter wasn't a white conservative that hated gays.

If you want to ignore the blatant ISIS correlation to push your "America is homophobic and needs gun control" narrative, by all means. SJWs gotta do what SJWs gotta do.

7/15/2016 1:05:38 AM

^^So by that logic...

If a few police commit murder, we don't look at the individuals, nor do we look at, say, a police station, we need to look at the system/big picture that systematically creates the outcome?

If a few terrorists commit murder, we don't look at the individuals, nor do we look at, say, a terror cell, we need to look at the system/big picture, Islam, that systematically creates the outcome of terrorism.

yeah because its just so much easier to try and address problems in our own society than to simply blame it on some other religion.

7/15/2016 1:15:42 AM

So if your logic is consistent you have to agree with one of those 2 posts.

Would a SJW rather be defensive of cops, or offensive to Islam? I'm on the edge of my seat.
