They're not calling it a terrorism event, but they are calling it a criminal event, some guy drove his truck into a crowd of people today on Bastille Day (national holiday in France) and then shot a bunch of people. Early reports say 24-30 are dead, but full details are not in yet.
What is wrong with people that they just do things like that?

You tell us. You are always making excuses for these scumbags.
I have not supported the methodologies of Isis, and it is not clear that it is them or someone affiliated with them.
The death toll now stands at 73 however, local broadcasters quoted officials as saying the preliminary death toll was 73. Other officials put the number of wounded as high as in the hundreds.

There were weapons reportedly found in the vehicle. Police say a vehicle which struck crowds celebrating Bastille Day in the southern French city of Nice contained ‘arms, loaded with grenades’

Another horrific attack. Demonstrates that assault rifles dont have to be used to inflict mass casualties. This cant continue.
Will Pres Obamas bff in Iran condem this behaviour?

Don't worry Goober. The dark-colored President of the USA isn't responsible for the words and actions of another international leader, but you already knew that. And I agree, bombs don't have to be used either, so lets just make it all legal. Thank you for blessing us all with your evolved words of wisdom.
Three Step Plan to defeat Terrorism...
1 . Finally admit we are at war. Radical Islam definitely is.
2. Find the enemy
3. Kill them.

Brilliant!
Time for Pres Obama to put his big boy pants on. America doesnt need a consoler-in-chief but a commander-in-chief.
ya know, I agree we have a problem.
but I have questions.
1.who are we declaring war against?
2. is in the entire muslim world?
3. only some of the muslim world?
4. is the goal to kill all muslims?
5. deport all muslims?
6. will we reinstate the draft?
7. are we going to occupy 1/4 to 1/3 of the earth?
8. for how long?
9. will we have to provide social services and food to the countries we occupy?
one of our experts in here I'm sure can let me know the answers to those simple questions.
then i'll have some follow up questions.
Right about now Obama should be running to the TV cameras to call for a Global Summit to address the “Scourge of White Truck Violence” and claim he has been “leading the world against” blah blah blah … and calling on Congress to pass legislation to ban white trucks.
Immediately after Obama will be back on a golf course or go to a fund raiser.

(CNN) — What President Barack Obama described as the greatest threat to future generations was neither terrorism nor ISIS. It wasn't nuclear weapons in rogue states either.
"No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change," said Obama in his State of the Union speech Tuesday.
Who was the man who drove the lorry?
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36801763
sounds like he was estranged from his wife and kids. just my speculation, but maybe he was depressed and only lightly influenced by radicals. or maybe they took advantage of his depression.
he could've been brainwashed 1st by the Taliban or Al Quaida first, then by the Jihad and ISIS, then by Muslim extremists.....
or, he could've been like the girl who went on a shooting spree in 1979 or so because, as she later said, "I don't like Mondays"
monsters in disguise -- self-styled deranged psychotic sickos, on the loose masquerading as people -- the world is more violent than ever, & it will probly rear its god-awful head once again at next month's Olympic Games

Damn Obama for not stopping a lone wolf terrorist attack in a foreign country.
Goob finds another way to attack Obama. Goob would politicize anything just to attack Obama.

Well, in all fairness to the Goober, Obama did fail to prevent the lone wolf attack in a foreign country. So he could have done more, right?

If Obama would not not have been elected, none of the world problems would have existed. Foreign terrorist activity is his fault...all on him. Dam him - it's all his fault. If the GOP would have made him a one-term president as they said, we might not be having this discussion.
Thank goodness Trump's coronation is right around the corner, and he will clean up all the mess that Obama created on his own. That I can tell you. And it will be the greatest & most beautiful coronation ever. Big Donald will rescue the world from itself.
or, just kill the bad guys, what is so hard to understand about that?
I recall that, after one of the recent massacre of innocents in the US, some one posted on this site that the "left" welcomes and enjoys horrific events such as those so as to "gloat" about how "gun control" would become pre-eminent in the discourse. Do those same people "gloat" and "enjoy" these events because it gives them the opportunity to bash Obama over an incident in another country? Certainly seems to be the case.
Time for Pres Obama to put his big boy pants on. America doesnt need a consoler-in-chief but a commander-in-chief.
Perhaps we should invade France.
It's almost traitorous, and certainly un-American, for any American citizen to blame another American citizen for a foreign terrorists' cold-blooded murder. You would rather excuse a foreign Islamic terrorist from his responsibility in the murders, so that you can instead blame an American for it. Pretty sick. Anyone taking part in such behavior is a disgusting racist dysfunctional pig, and the world is going to be a much much better place when you are all long gone.

Reminds me of when Alex P. Keaton pretended he was going to invade Canada to impress some girls.

He is a Commander in Chief, he just has a reserved demeanor about him. He doesn't jump up and down and yell and scream. In fact I think I have only heard him yell once, where some of the Congressional people wanted to end a meeting (I think it was on the Wall Street bailout) and he firmly said "I'm not done yet", meaning they had to wait till he was finished before the meeting would end. He asserted himself with full authority without the fury of a screaming person. He's diplomatic, focused and will never stoop to the level of some of his contemporaries.
I think there is a lot of behind the stuff scenes we never know about that he deals with, people should try to understand that. He doesn't tell you everything because in his opinion, everything is not for public consumption.

He had grenades in that truck, so he probably had some military training or affiliation.
ya know, I agree we have a problem.
but I have questions.
1.who are we declaring war against?
Those Muslim extremists who want to take over the world and make you give your oath of allegiance to them and their beliefs.2. is in the entire muslim world?
No, most of the Muslim world is as lazy as the Jewish or Christian world who only go to the temple or church on major holidays.3. only some of the muslim world?
Yes, correct, the part of the Muslim world that reads their Qurans, and prays 5 times a day, and rejects secular law and wants to establish God's laws (according to their interpretations of that).4. is the goal to kill all muslims?
Not yet, but probably later, since we are in a Holy War. But the actual war is God's peoples vs. those the anti-Christ will claim as his own. The world is not ready to deal with that yet.5. deport all muslims?
That could be done, but then you would have to declare which religions are acceptable in the US, a land that says religious freedom is one of the hallmarks of it's beliefs. That becomes problematic.6. will we reinstate the draft?
Yes, and women will be in there too, but we might win more wars, women with cramps who are sleep deprived, ohhh how they will shoot!7. are we going to occupy 1/4 to 1/3 of the earth?
Interesting question. Probably. When climate change makes much of the world un-livable (rising sea levels inundating coastal areas, droughts crops dieing, earth changes from earthquakes, fracking and sinkholes etc. the 320 million people in the US will have to go somewhere, unless of course there are epidemics, or natural disasters that kill off millions of people. I'll withhold the sarcastic comments I could make about that.8. for how long?
We don't plan to leave Afghanistan, so it is anybody's guess.9. will we have to provide social services and food to the countries we occupy?
No, we just bomb them, the people leave as refugees, then we take the natural resources to help our economy (some companies make money off that).one of our experts in here I'm sure can let me know the answers to those simple questions.
then i'll have some follow up questions.

Goober, please chime in.
I will add a follow up to this one though
1.who are we declaring war against?
Those Muslim extremists who want to take over the world and make you give your oath of allegiance to them and their beliefs.
1a. so are we going to invade and occupy all of the many sovereign nations that harbor this segment?
1b. what if they don't want to be invaded and occupied?

If Obama has not been elected ISIS would not exist. It was Obama’s policy of cut and run from Iraq with complete support from Hillary Clinton that allowed ISIS to burst on the scene and kill thousands.
BTW - every legitimate poll shows the American People far prefer Donald Trump to fight terrorism than Hillary Clinton.
