Nice - Bastille day **mod warning post 1**

Anything directly pointing towards ISIS or could it be some looper(s) with one too many games of GTA under their belt? (serious question)

That's simply not the case. I'll give three examples - Kenyan mall massacre, recent Bangladesh restaurant massacre, and Nairobi hotel attack - where the jihadists literally separated the Muslims and non-Muslims and asked them to recite the Qu'ran or answer Islamic trivia. Those who failed in all three of those events were tortured and killed.

ISIS have killed more Muslims than non-Muslims, and I doubt that when their gunmen were spraying bullets into the crowd at Bacalan they were such good shots that they would only hit non-Muslims and bad Muslims.

Christ - the Muslim policeman who was executed (there is no other word) whilst he laid bleeding on the street by the terrorists in the 'Je Suis Charlie' attacks wasn't asked for his Koranic qualifications.

At some point you have to recognise - these guys simply do not care about the things you care about. They are not you. They do not care about you. You cannot reason with them. You cannot bargain with them. You kill them or they kill you. That is the limit and extent of your interaction with them.

Is it becoming clear yet that increasing the number of muslims in europe is not going to be good for european society. Its been clear to me and many others for a long time.

Someone posted earlier that "ISIS" claimed responsibility, nothing official as far as I know.

Fire right beside the Eiffel Tower atm after truck with fireworks ignited. Not terror related according to police.

My sister left Nice this morning - I can't imagine what it is like for people living and visiting there tonight. I can't see ANY justification for the slaughter of people in this way. There is no justification for this.

blackwave

Sky now saying that 60 dead with the driver dead and a possible accomplice on the run.

Means nothing.

ISIS are not an international organisation with a complex chain of command.

Any headcase in any country can claim loyalty and attack and then ISIS claim it as their own initiative as happened in Florida recently.

RobertKK

Local hospitals overwhelmed and makeshift hospitals set up according to an eye witness.

Witchie

Can't believe this is happening so feckin often. Really fed up with this crazy world.

Just checked in with my aunt and uncle who live in Aix-en-Provence and often go to Nice for trips. Luckily they are safe and out were out with friends in Aix and didn't know anything about it until I text and emailed them to check up on them.

Heartbreaking news once again. Not sure I can handle much more of this crap.

It's frightening the level of basic resources such an attack takes, very little police can do about it.

ISIS are not official either so what are you looking for?

60 dead and 100 injured at the moment. Off to bed now, thoughts are with the people of Nice tonight.

Seems to be some commotion by Eiffel Tower - some on twitter saying its a truck carrying fireworks on fire.

Such a relief for you that it was this morning she left, my own sister and her family went to Nice a few years ago, glad they are sticking to Spain these days.

El Chapo

Christ, what in the name of fuck are idiots doing on Twitter? Posting pictures of dead and maimed people whose families most likely have no clue they are involved.

Zero cop on whatsoever.

Social media really lets itself down at times like this. :mad:

If you're willing to die, you can take a lot of people with you.

I mean to get a gun is bad, but to actually knock so many people down you must be some ****ed up brut

Yeah it is, all it takes is someone that is determined to cause harm and that they have no care for their own life.

Why are they allowed to fester within France. ? They have their own little communities, 100's of them around France. Can't touch them until they kill.
World is too PC.

This is where "real terrorism" goes into a new level, these types of attacks are impossible to discover or prevent.

I know. And it saddens me somewhat, because these people are only going to end up seeing sh*t like this in a way they can't physically ignore. No matter what they try...
You can only shield yourself/others for so long.
Ignoring it doesn't stop it from happening.
Ignoring it won't stop it from reaching your senses.

Welcome to interesting times, folks. They're happening wether you are willing to accept it, or not

It's always going to happen in the modern age.

Part of me think it's right to document this and for people to see the real impact and effect of terrorism no matter how unpleasant it is.

Wow that's a horrible image. Hope there were no injuries, and that the tower isn't damaged as a result.

A statement from a source linked to ISIS would suffice.

LordSutch

Discussing on Sky news whether this might be a 'Criminal' attack as opposed to a Terrorist attack (whatever the difference might be)? They are also careful not to discount an accident, (lorry out of control) similar to the Glasgow Bin lorry incident a few years ago.

60 people now confirmed dead, with over 100 injured.

I have strong views on this but this isn't the time or place for it. 60 or more people lost their lives tonight and the lives of their friends and families are changed forever as a result. Our thoughts should be with those people tonight. We can discuss what should be done on another day, on another thread.

BorneTobyWilde

Boris straight into action. What a buffoon .
What a start for him .

El Chapo

Imagine living in the UK and having Boris Johnson dealing with this kind of incident.

Scary.

Do not spread false rumors . No fire at #TourEiffel . Accidental fire truck took place in Jena bridge. It's off.

RobertKK

The truck had guns and grenades in it.

It's not right.

Imagine a relative sitting at home and seeing a picture of their loved one's dead blooded body lying on the road.

Wrong on so many levels.

Anyone else watching the news from Nice? Some lunatic drove a truck into a crowd of people celebrating Bastille day. Several people are dead, according to various media sources.

Just want to clarify that I did not post any video content on this thread.

Lots of kids there tonight. Its one thing killing people at concerts who are typically adults, but there were so many kids there tonight.

When ISIS carries out attack, 1st official claim responsibility usually comes from 'Amaq news agency'. Amaq is silent for last 30mins. #Nice

Indeed, just get hold of a truck and drive fast into a crowd. There are trucks on every street practically every moment of the day, it's impossible to be vigilant on the chance that one could be driven by an islamist terrorist.

I don't differentiate to be honest. A human being is human being no matter what age they are.

Horrible attack.

It's not necessarily the area or demographics. It's the economic circumstances, local imams etc. Last year Austria blocked foreign funding of religious buildings, mostly due to the Wahabbist ideology that was being spread by Saudi-funded imams in Saudi-funded mosques. There was an article in New York Times last month about how radicalised Kosovo has become due to the investments Saudi has made in the country.

In yet Saudi Arabia tries to keep up a front of being a pro western state. Wahabism is Saudi Arabias gift to the world yet they pretend to know nothing about it whilst allowing it to flourish.

Police have answers to give. Why can a truck even access the area and get to the crowd.

It is the same thing, all lives taken for no reason, hopes and dreams wiped out for no good reason.

How exactly do you propose they stop a lorry at high speed?

The crowd were next to a public road, trucks drive on roads what could they ( the police) have done?

As far as I know, Boris is in France today (he was booed at his first appearance in his new role) and I presume he is still in France overnight - but unsure why people are bashing him before he has even opened his mouth.

As foreign secretary he will have to be involved in Britain's response. Not a great first day on the job .
