Live '80+ dead' after truck crashes into crowd at Bastille Day celebrations in
« on: July 14, 2016, 05:12:46 PM »
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/14/truck-crashes-into-crowd-at-bastille-day-celebrations-in-nice2/

Quote
A spokesman for the Alpes Maritime prefecture advised locals to ‘stay indoors’ as gunfire was heard, and a lorry was driven into a crowd on the Promenade des Anglais, Peter Allen reports.

Bodies could be seen lying on the floor by the beach, as the police and other emergency services tried to deal with a mass panic.

Fireworks were filling the night sky as the drama unfolded, as the crowds enjoyed July 14th, which is always a Bank Holiday in France.

I'm watching FNC's feed from Sky News.  They're saying that gunmen are holding hostages in the Meridian hotel and the adjoining Buffalo grill.

Also, at least 100 injured.

Sheep Smith is saying on FNC that Sky News is now saying that there were "at least 60" killed by the truck . . .

I seem to remember the head of the DGSE saying earlier this week that another attack could bring civil war to France.

And the hostage situation that was denied by the French Foreign Ministry is supposedly happening.

Honestly, I don't know what he can say at this point. He doesn't have an ass hair's worth of credibility left.

France: Nice jihad murderer is Muslim of Tunisian origin

Quote
A 31-year-old Niçois of Tunisian origin was driving the truck that claimed over 70 people on the Prom in Nice on Thursday night.

The Frenchman was 31 years old.

According to our information, it was a Niçois from Tunisia who drove the truck. The young man of 31 years also fired on the crowd as he drove. More than 70 people died.

At least 77 are dead after a truck drove into the crowd after the fireworks in Nice.

His truck was loaded with weapons and grenades.

That is what I was thinking. Anything can kill.

This is terrorism.

I was going to say something about the monsters who pull these terrorist attacks but I just can't find decent enough words to post on a public forum!

My God, I can't imagine the pain that the people who survived must be going through .. especially the parents of innocent children like the little girl below!

ISIS, al-Qaeda, and whoever can do whatever they want.

If these terrorists are in tune with European and American politics, and I must believe they are, in France they know Hollande is a member of the Socialist and Radical Left Party. The political left isn't going to fight back. They're wimps. These muslim terror groups know that. Same with our Dear Leader and the Dems. Any attacks the political left might try will be so uncoordinated and inadequate it will be useless. As evidence, we see just how both mentally and physically weak the primitives are on a daily basis.

As a conservative, I hate it for those who are being killed and wounded and their family and loved ones. But as long as people are intent on electing a bunch of weak-kneed pols into office, this is only going to get worse.
