Sick ghoul 'sold belongings of Nice terror attack victims' as hundreds mourn 84 killed in Bastille Day atrocity

Interesting that he chose not to give the money to his own children, if not his ex-wife.
Whom did the France attack hurt disproportionately? Tourists to Nice, and Muslims
Final count of 84 victims shows that 38 were from different countries, and 35 were Muslim, said a local Imam.
“It hurts me when people tell me to go back to where I came from. I was born in France, grew up in France. I was educated in France. What do we have to do to finally be accepted as French?” asked Boubakri, who is also a member of the regional Union of Independent Islamic Institutions.
“People are emotional and they want to blame Muslims for terrorism, but we’re really the biggest victims of terrorism, here and abroad,” he said.
PARIS -- French lawmakers voted Wednesday in favour of extending the nation's state of emergency for another six months and jittery Paris officials cancelled some summer events due to security issues
Officials say five unidentified people remain in custody for possible links to the Nice truck attack and could face terrorism charges.
Authorities are bracing for copycat attacks. Paris police cancelled events including open-air free movie showings and a car-free day on the city's famed Champs-Elysees boulevard.
Police are also deploying in larger numbers around Paris Plages, a monthlong beach event that kicked off Wednesday with sand and summer activities on embankments along the Seine River. Paris police will now use concrete barriers to block areas with large crowds in hopes of preventing the kind of carnage that occurred in Nice, when a driver rammed his truck through a crowd of pedestrians.

"Bastille Day truck attack had been planned for 'several months' and terrorist Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel had 'support and accomplices' before he killed 84 people in Nice, a prosecutor has revealed.
Prosecutor Francois Molins said five suspects currently in custody are facing preliminary terrorism charges for their alleged roles in helping Bouhlel, in a judicial inquiry opened on Thursday.
Molins said information from the terrorist's phone showed searches and photos that indicated he had been studying an attack since 2015."

I was in France a few months ago. My SO tours there frequently. We had noticed increased police presence at festivals and club dates. ESP random checks by multiple officers with large guns but we were mainly in Paris the last trip and immediate towns outside Paris. Further out the police presence wasn't as strong. It was very strong in Spain last week.A positive story of how a father and his young daughter survived amongst heartbreaking tragedy.
"A California man who was lucky to escape the Nice terror attack with minor injuries has explained how he owes his life to a Good Samaritan that saved him.
Greg Krentzman was on vacation with his wife and daughter in Nice when a man drove a truck into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day on July 14, killing 84 people and injuring more than 250 others.
Krentzman said he was standing several feet from his family to take a photograph when his wife, Sophie, saw the truck coming right at them.
'My wife screamed out, ''Greg, look out, there's a truck!'' Krentzman told KTLA 5 News."

It is tragic this attack was planned for months and nobody from French intelligence was able to find out information about it. The intelligence agencies across the globe can only do so much with limited resources available they cannot prevent every attack. However I am very angry that no blockades were up to stop this large lorry being able to go down the promenade. I am also angry that this truck was never searched and the driver questioned. I want to know why blockades were not up? In addition why was this lorry allowed near the area when vehicles this size were supposed to be banned during this event. Even if there wasn't a risk of a terrorist attack people could have been knocked down on the promenade with thousands of people walking around. It should
have been common sense to block traffic on that promenade during this event terrorism risk or not.
Finally I'd like to know if the French authorities are indeed lying about the driver claiming the lorry was refrigerated and if the driver really did claim he was selling ice cream or if it's a cover up. If the claim about him selling ice cream is true why did nobody think it was odd he never took any out of the back of the lorry?
The French authorities really dropped the ball securing this event with lack of security and no bollards up to stop traffic being able to drive down the promenade. 84 men, women and children are dead because of these failings and the French need to do more to protect the public. You have to wonder how much security there is in France outside Paris. I saw on the news there were only 62 police officers protecting this event in Nice with thousands of people attending which is totally unacceptable. France is supposed to be at the highest terrorist alert level and lessons need to be learned from this tragedy. If there are large public gatherings in France from now on and even in other countries too large vehicles/or all vehicles need to be banned nearby with bollards up.
Apologies for ranting but this attack is so upsetting seeing the photo of the little girl dead beside her doll will stay with me for the rest of my life.

"A chilling audio message recorded by Bastille Day killer Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel suggests a second atrocity was being planned for August, French prosecutors fear.
The sinister revelation concerning the man who murdered 84 people using a 19-tonne lorry in Nice a week ago came as five accomplices were charged with carrying out a range of terrorist crimes.
At 5pm on July 14th, the day of the Riviera bloodbath, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel recording the message saying: 'Chokri and his friends are ready for next month, they are currently with Walid.
