    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.

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

    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:

    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.

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

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

    ISIS are not official either so what are you looking for?
    A statement from a source linked to ISIS would suffice.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    mod: I've had to remove a video showing terrible things. Please don't post anything like that. Consider the fact that people are not prepared to deal with videos of the results of an attack.

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

    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.

    Glazers Out!

    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?

    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 .
