I guess the response will be prayer vigils, bathing monuments in colors that represent Bastille Day and flowery speeches.

Yup..until it happens again....and again....and again.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

:gaah:

So incredibly sad! I feel for the victims and their families.

Sickening, disgusting attack on complete innocents. My prayers and thoughts are with many today.

Yes, and along with the flowery speeches we'll hear how the US 'deplores' these attacks.....Yada Yada, blah blah blah....

I will tell you that Western Europe is preparing for these type of attacks.The UK and Belgium staged a military exercise at the train station in front of our hotel.Setting off percussion grenades and firing blanks.I will post about that on the Belgium thread.

They're saying on Sky news now, a witness has said the driver of the truck got out when it stopped and started shooting into the crowds.

Oh, I forgot the obligatory Twitter hashtag--can't leave that out. Just took a gander at Twitter and it's #PrayForNice.

The only way this is going to stop is if someone powerful in the media world or government has their entire family murdered by one of these cavemen, and maybe not even then. The big boys have to keep their slave labor going to keep our wages down and their profits up.

This Summer had Orlando, Istanbul, Baghdad, Dallas, and now Nice.

The Tour de France is currently going on with very large groups of spectators standing along roadsides.I hope they take precautions.

This is horrendous. My heart is breaking for all these innocent people.
After fireworks there are at least a thousand people in one spot. It's insane. What a tragedy.
May they rest in RIP.

Should we wait until the next attack to discuss it?I briefly explained it in a previous post plain and simple.This will continue to happen.

There is nothing "plain and simple" about this kind of thing.

Looks like they need way more. From April, 2016.

Thousands of troops on Paris streets but are they France's new Maginot line?

After last year’s terrorist attacks on Paris, the president, François Hollande, declared that France was at war and swiftly saturated the streets of main cities with soldiers standing guard in full military fatigues to make people feel more secure. The now permanent presence of thousands of soldiers in khaki across the capital and major cities has transformed the image and mood of France.

Operation Sentinelle, in which combat troops patrol streets and protect key sites – from synagogues to art galleries, nursery schools to mosques and Métro stations – is the army’s first wide-scale peacetime military operation on mainland France.

Sentinelle was launched after the massacre at Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher supermarket in Paris in January 2015. But after November’s attacks that killed 130 people, Hollande increased the presence to 10,000 troops across the nation, with about 6,500 of them in the Paris area.

I'm sure there was no evil intent in linking a video that's all over the internet. Maybe if we see some of the "real" horror we'll decide to terminate these cockroaches in their holes.

If these poor victims have to live and die in it, the least I can do is watch it. But I understand that some would rather not.
