FRANCE - Truck drives into crowd celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, 2016 *Guilty*

[wendybtn]

Oh no.......Why is France getting targeted so frequently?? Seems like they are getting way more than their (unfair) share, much more than other European countries.

Because they have allowed immigrants to settle their own communities with their own commerce, schools, law enforcement, etc., and not assimilate. So the ISIS-minded followers are already there and free to move about the country and the EU, also.

Where did those weapons come from?
Why were they not delivered?
Why did they choose to drive the truck into the crowd instead?
Who are the network behind this?


Good questions IMHO

All the more heartbreaking for the city to have someone born there do this. Very painful.

"Both French TV station BFM and local newspaper Nice-Matin are reporting that the driver is a 31-year-old with dual French-Tunisian nationality.

BFM is quoting a police source via Agence France-Presse who said that an ID card was found inside the truck. Reports say the man was a Nice resident."

And, locals are using Twitter to offer safe places to stay for those in need, the beach has turned into a hospital ward, taxis are offering free rides.

Please let this night pass in Nice without further incident as the people begin the difficult task of recovery.

The Mirror, so take it for what it's worth.

The truck driver was shooting from the window of the cab as he smashed through the throngs of people - many still in beachwear - at 40mph.

He then emerged shooting from the vehicle before being gunned down by police.

Guns and grenades were found in the back of the truck "suggesting a premeditated attack".

that was a big truck, how many guns and grenades?

Hollande's press conference:

"I have decided that the state of emergency which was supposed to end on July 26 will be extended by three months."


Just today he stated the state of emergency would end on July 26....and then hours later has to extend it.
