Major saying deliberate and the accomplice is on the runIs it a terrorist attack or someone who is/was mentally unstable ? Although I`ve put the report up on here,I havn`t yet seen the tv for more news.
Truly awful either way and I hope that figure doesn`t go up much more but I feel I may be wrong.

Horrible. Reading 10's dead, then 20, 30, 40, 50. Going up with every estimate. Really sad situation. Saw a video with people running away and several parents pushing prams. Crushes me that people left their house this evening for a celebration and this happened.

well they keep finding ways don't they, seen the vid, horrendous, people crushed like ants. Just can't beat people who are prepared to kill themselves to kill others, they will always find a way, what a moronic world we live in.

Just picked this piece up Karen from a newpaper report :Major saying deliberate and the accomplice is on the run
A truck rammed into the crowd watching Bastille Day fireworks on the Promenade des Anglais on Thursday night killing dozens of people in what is believed to have been a terrorist attack.
“Dear citizens of Nice, a truck seems to have killed dozens of people,” Christian Estrosi, the mayor of Nice, tweeted. “Stay in your homes for now.”
Sébastien Humbert, the deputy prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes department told BMF television that up to 30 people had been killed.
The driver continued driving through the crowd for at least 100 metres before he was shot dead by police. Tens of thousands of people had assembled to watch the fireworks, many of them with their families. Witnesses said it was a scene of carnage.
“People are running. It is panic. He drove up on the Promenade and ran over everyone,” Damien Allemand, a journalist from Nice Matin told the Agence France Presse (AFP). “There are a lot of people bleeding, probably lots of wounded.”
Mr Allemand said a white truck drove up on to the pavement and into the crowd. Gunfire broke out, though it was not immediately clear whether the shooting was done by police or accomplices of the truck driver. The prefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes department said it was a terrorist attack.
There is always a way to fight this shit but it requires massive changes in what we allow authorities to do and control. And by trusting them do we create an even greater monster. It's one evil or the other. we have to try though right?

No one knows what to do, do they?
Is there really an answer? All it takes is one person who is willing to kill themselves in order to kill others and we continue to have these tragedies.

I wonder how my children and grandchildren are going to fair over the next few decades.As you say a truly horrible and frightening world in which we live.It's awful,i despair about this world sometimes
It's not the world in general though I think. Most people are genuinely nice and kind. It's a few. We have to fight back in some way. For the sake of the good.It's awful,i despair about this world sometimes

That video, who the fuck goes through that and films it?
The audio is horrible to listen to at the end.
France is fucked
amazing they got through the Euros really.
I know. And unlike politically motivated terrorists, these people can't be appeased or negotiated with because nobody can really give them what they want. All they want is Armageddon and the targets are so soft.Is there really an answer? All it takes is one person who is willing to kill themselves in order to kill others and we continue to have these tragedies.
