God, I wish I was in charge of the French intelligence services.

Quote:When did condolences, thoughts and prayers, or solidarity ever bring someone back to life or prevent more attacks from occurring? Empty stock phrases only a moron could believe in.

Liberals say the exact same thing (about the need for more gun control laws) after a mass shooting.

Was this an assault truck? Did it have an extended magazine and automatic capabilities? I'm surprised he was able to get a hold of one so easily in France-- aren't there background checks for these sort of things?

It makes me wonder how many of the deceased and wounded were pro-immigration and pro-Islam. That's not to say they had it coming, just pointing out the irony.

In the midst of all of this there is a monster. The people in the deceased and wounded's social or family circle, who has a friend or relative that is now dead, crippled, or brain-dead, that announces, "I will not hate Islam. I will respond with love and understanding." This person is the monster.

Obama: "Well thank God France has gun control to stop this sort of thing happening...oh, wait..."

I heard it was tactical™ and painted matte black.

Disgusting that it's easier for French children to buy a tactical™ assault™ truck than to buy a textbook.

No, it's a plain white trailer truck. It probably plowed through light crowd barriers.

Perhaps the driver intended to carry his massacre possibly after his truck was disabled or came to a covered location.
Firearms, grenades & explosives - the fuck.

73 dead & counting - this is one guy people.
It could've been far more.
Which makes me think this will be the new return rate on terror attacks.
Frightening.

It points to a lone wolf case, as opposed to a wider terror cell. The driver didn't have a team working with him to make use of his weapons cache. Or maybe his partners chickened out at the last minute.

I would have guessed something like this could have happened during the Euro, but come to think of it, the higher security level might have dissuaded them (him?), and this was more of a target of opportunity.

75 dead and 100 injured is the latest toll. I'm going to guess many victims were french muslims, as there are a lot of them in the PACA area (french Riviera and surroundings), and you see a lot of their youth and families in popular events like these, sort of like you'd see a lot of rednecks at the 4th of July concert at the Mall in DC. Probably a lot of tourists too, German, Dutch, British, even Americans, given how low the Euro has been. Very sad...

What the fuck is it with all these terrorists lately that have bombs laying around, yet fail to use them?

Why not set off the bombs / heavy explosives remotely first, then go out in a gun blaze / driving?

Only thing that comes to mind is that some of the radical Muslims supposedly have low IQ due to their religious fanaticism. They simply were not that bright.

I wonder what stupid Hollande will say to save his ass. Easy to blame guns. How is he going to blame trucks?

Confirmed terrorist stole assault truck from set of Tango and Cash 2. The movie will no longer come out at the end of summer.

@ Travesty.

I think in the heat of the moment things go FUBAR.

Maybe he got killed before he'd sated his fill on the crowd.

You never really know.

But it is grim.

Meanwhile, Hollande is facing a scandal where his hairdresser is being paid like a government minister; 10k Euro a month (for that hair???)

Safe to say Sarkozy's coming back, though we can always hope for a Le Pen miracle...

Dreadful. Thehfootage on Twitter is ghastly and I can't imagine how terrified, confused and angry the French citizens are. They have been battered over the last year and a half. It shouldn't take events like this to realise something needs to give.

Post: #139

France and other weak western European nations should come together and become an islamic state named Cuckistan.

Just give up.

If you're not going to defend your people against this bullshit then at least give in the aggressor stops.

Post: #140

^ They aren't confused at all that is the point.

This stuff just happens in France, don't you get it?

Ce la vi. (someone should meme this saying on the gruesome pictures and spread it on social media)

Post: #141

I hurt for France, once being a world super power, great history, great ancestors, and culture. It's not lost, all it takes is one great leader to wake up the silent majority, just as Trump is doing in America. I believe and look forward to the day the gaint wakes up! It's going to be ugly, bloody, and genocidal, but that is what's it going to take.

Remember back in 9/11/2001, everyone became a patriot and wanted vengeance?Imagine what would it had been like if Obama was president. I'm angry right now so I'm going to go cool off

By the way, muslims have been raising hell in France for the past 20 years but it was always relegated to riots. This is what happens when ISIS gives them money and logistics.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of the word "Cuckistan". Though I prefer "Cuckmenistan".

Still, I've strong hope they France will rekindle it's fighting spirit.

Things don't change for a long time but when they do they can change hard and fast. I don't know if this attack will be the breaking point, but the breaking point is not far off. A few more events on this scale will do it.

Europe has the means of dealing with this, and it will not require mass slaughter or mass expulsion of citizens. But it will require serious concerted action on a number of fronts, both inside Europe and in the Middle East. I think that's coming within the next year.

Explain how you stop people who have devoted their lives to an ideology of bloodlust from plowing a truck into a crowd of innocent people, rigging up homemade explosives and wandering into public spaces, acquiring caches of weapons and opening fire on innocent natives that their god prescribes them to kill?

There's isn't a nonviolent solution to the problem, they've been let in and in their minds (thanks in large part to the leftist narrative) this is their home now. Western leaders have already traveled too far down the path of degeneracy, they aren't just going to say "ok, we'll deport them" and even if they did Europe would be meet with almost complete resistance.

I'm convinced at this point the only solution is eventual war on European soil.

Post: #147

Well, hello police state of europe and european army (after Brexit).

Germany introduces new kinds of police forces with a quick solution in a short training of a couple of months (before they had to study and have the same degree as people who want to go to university) and they carry weapons (for nearly everyone, even hunters, totally illegal).

they ask for non german immigrants in the police force, more spending in the army (no drafting in germany anymore for native citizen, they can't defend themselves anymore), more soldiers and highest amount of muslims in german Military (and amount of women) than ever before.

I dont know about the other european countries..

But don't forget to take down the elites of your citiy and traitors first in the upcoming civil war.

I wouldn't be opposed towards a real and longterm successful french revolution. Or a rightwing European Alliance. Sad day for France, but how big should the wakeup call be, why is the elite only choosing to let these things happen in France, firstly?

Aeroektar,

Vox Day has named the four possible solutions: Amalgamation, Deportation, Segregation, and Elimination. I support Deportation.

Time for the US to truly make the pivot to Asia. Enough of this silliness, let the Euros figure their shit out while we party in the 21st century.

Haha,

how about we compromise at Cuckimenistan? The extra "I" gives it more pop.
