Another attack in France

Post by Captain »

Dozens of people were killed in the French Riviera city of Nice late on Thursday when a truck plowed into crowds watching a fireworks display on France's Bastille Day national holiday, the mayor said on Twitter.​

French TV channel BFM TV said at least 30 people were killed as a crowd was celebrating.

A spokesman for France's Interior Ministry said the death toll is likely to rise.

"It's going to be a very high toll," Pierre-Henry Brandet told BFM TV.

The truck rammed into the crowd on the Promenade des Anglais seaside walk in the centre of town, regional newspaper Nice Matin reported, citing its own reporter at the scene.

The paper published a photograph of a damaged, long-distance delivery truck, which it said was "riddled with bullets" and images of emergency services treating the injured.

Nobody LOLing or referencing how many people were killed without a gun.

Weird?

Media is saying a terrorist attack
At least 77 people are dead after a truck ploughed into a crowd of late-night revellers celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, in a terrorist attack described as the "worst catastrophe" in the French Riviera's modern history.

The driver of the truck was shot dead by police after barrelling down the famed Promenade des Anglais seafront, sending hundreds of terrified people fleeing and leaving bodies strewn in its wake.

Key points:

Witnesses said the driver swerved from side to side to apparently kill as many people as possible as he drove at about 50kmh for 2km along the Promenade des Anglais on the seafront. One witness said the driver fired a gun at police before they killed him.

Dude... what's you're problem? Why does this have to revolve around some other agenda?

I just feel bad for the people there...

Are you seriously asking this question or sarcastically asking to help make my point about hypocrisy?
