There were reports of a hostage situation in a restaurant but that seems to have not been the case.
And now it's happened god mother fucking shit i am livid.
America, if you only do one good thing again, let it be ensuring Trump doesn't even get a whiff of the Presidency. - Rest of the World.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
Look, you don't gotta tell any of us here.
Edit: confirmed by police officials.
Most of 2016 it seems. Year starts with deaths of beloved artists and just keeps on building into the shit ball we've got now.
Guess I'll get up in the morning and wait for it all to happen again.
I also don't understand how it got let through so many checkpoints, there should've been a blanket ban on any vehicles going through, stuff like that has happened before
70 people is a lot of people holy crap

Ever been to a public gathering in the streets? It's called a crowd for a reason you've got a lot of people in a small area. Doesn't take much driving, sadly.
It ran over a public plaza, which had a large crowd because today was Bastille Day.
Just, fuck, no words. Fucking unbelievable monsters.
I was just thinking about this yesterday...
That I have this expectation that there will, sometime within the next month or two, be another tragedy where a bunch of people will die
And it's just going to keep happening...
Like most things, people get better at it
These kinds of attacks can't topple nations, but they can cause panic, instability, and economic damage disproportional to the tragedy itself. Terrorists don't need to spend years learning how to hijack a 747, they can just grab a car and a gun.
The police and/or counter terrorist units are always going to clean these things up quickly, but leading the six o'clock news cycle itself is the goal.
Which is also why I find the coverage of these attacks to always be horrendously fucking frustrating
Showing injuries and bodies and people running and screaming for cover is the absolute worst thing you can do, media
Pushing the agenda of fear and publicizing the name of the killer(s) and their pictures and their manifestos does nothing but promote their goals and make the world worse
Statistically speaking the world has never been better or safer or freer of conflict, and it's important to remember that, but goddamn do I wish the news media would care less about ratings and more about reporting ethics

Also terrorist attacks in the Middle East have had numbers like this for a long time. They just don't get as much attention in the west. We're seeing more global exporting of home grown tactics.

The media's outrage at the propagation of terrorism stops on a fucking dime when they have something to gain from it themselves.
