Bastille day truck crash
-
Hadn't the French just reduced thier threat level since the attacks
-
Incredibly enough guns aren't required to massacre dozens of innocent people.

<p>You get the feeling that if ISIS claim this, something is going to have to give, and very very soon. </p>
-
<p>if they havent by now, it is unlikely to be a direct ISIS attack though is it?</p>

<p>Bollards so people can freely congregate en masse.</p>

<p>#PrayforNice</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OK, being philosophical, do people interpret these slogans as meaning "Show solidarity", or are people actually being asked to pray?</p> -

Typically they wait for the public declaration of allegiance to emerge - usually this is done by the perp by leaving a message online or with authorities in the lead up to the attack.<br><br>
Once the press announce that, they'll claim. -

<p>Yeah, but that is of limited use. EG there's bollards stopping anyone driving into Covent Garden piazza. Liecester Square etc, but you could easiliy get up a good head of steam & kill 100's in a truck down Oxford street, Regents street, Long Acre etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They used to have fencing up at the corner in Oxford circus etc, but have taken it down because it makes pedestrian traffic flow better so any given Saturday you could come straight down Oxford street, cut the corner, kill 150, & carry on down the sidewalk on Regents street.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There's pretty much zero way to defend againhst it bar banning all trucks from city centres</p> -

<p>Yeah, they don't seem to really coordinate any attacks on the west. They just hope their followers in western countries do something and then declare for ISIS so they can claim it.</p> -
<p>but thats a little different to them co-ordinating it, like the attacks on Paris...they dont claim attacks that arent thiers, but will gladly accept someone who claims to have fought in thier name.</p>

<p>The guy was totally unknown to police and no one has claimed anything. Mood very sombre here. I'm heading down south now and the security at the airport is back to full armed guard.<br><br><strong>People here sick of prayers that do nothing.</strong></p>

<p>That's the trouble with the thoughts and prayers brigade - action wins every time.</p> -
<p>I was in Nice the very next morning, absolute chaos as you would imagine. People waiting around looking very grim, presumably waiting on news of loved ones. The main promenade closed to traffic and a five minute journey took almost an hour. People in tears all over the place. All very sad.</p>

Did someone tell you about this or is it just how you deal with tragedy in the Jegga household? -
