    I wonder what the motivation is, I have a good idea. But don't want to be torn apart here for speculating.

    Could it be a disgruntled employee on the Champs Elysees

    Could well be. Unlikely though seeing as the victims are policemen, and they are usually targeted during terrorist attacks for some reason.

    Also good work to the police they seem to have responded very well to the incident and were able to evacuate huge amounts of people from that big area very efficiently

    Can you blame the French if they do vote for her? The authorities aren't able to keep a lid on these attacks and murders of innocent people.

    I was in Rome last week and the place was teeming with police, also with soldiers with machine guns.
    It did pass through my mind the dangers these people are at as they try and protect the public.
    So sad to see more senseless violence in Paris.

    I think the effect that these terrorist attacks have on votes for right wing parties is highly exaggerated

    Being cynical you would see Russia involved here perhaps through syria


    They would love to see le pen in power . And the destruction of the EU.

    Russia loves to play the long game between internet attacks and behind the scenes operations.

    People think the states are big players .

    Anybody, from a bank to a peeved saudi prince, and every cartel or radical group in between.

    Want EU to fall apart, act now. Special offer.

    Gas isn't it that the UK leaving the EU has had little effect so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,412 ✭✭✭✭Danzy


    This will surely not be the last diversity incident of the election.

    Hopefully it is only one attacker.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 263 ✭✭CoolHandBandit


    What an absolute mess Europe has become.

    Really?

    How many women has Le Pen caused to be raped and murdered compared to Angela Merkel?

    How many terrorist attacks has Marine Le Pen covered up, compared to Angela Merkel?

    How many people has Marine Le Pen had run over by trucks, or attacked with an axe in Duseldorf and on a train, compared to Angela Merkel?

    How much additional pressure has Marine Le Pen heaped on the Irish welfare, housing, healthcare and child services budgets, compared to Angela Merkel?


    FYI, by years end 2016 it stood at 24 dead and 128 injured. That excludes a handful of suspected incidents early this year.

    What is Marine Le Pen's corresponding figure, do tell.

    So far the violent aspects of Merkel's madness have been largely contained to victms within her own borders. Ireland has only had to pick up the tab for the preferential treatment of the guests Merkel decided she didn't have enough room for after all, in terms of preferential access to housing, healthcare and child services.

    Time will tell about the rest.

    Yeah it is not like France has had a legitimate problem with radical jihadist terror in the recent years or anything.

    Must be that Putin fellow.
    :rolleyes:
