    Two reports different sources say driver emerged from the truck with a gun.

    Cheers

    CBS news reporting that the driver also shot at people after he ran a bunch down. The police had shoot the driver dead just to teach him a lesson.

    Listen up gun hating knucklheads. No guns, they use vehicles, no vehicles they use bombs, no bombs they poison you or dirty bomb or germ warfare and on and on. Used to be you could buy radioactive material on ebay for scientific use until the gov shut it down. How much of that was acquired by them?

    I agree there should be a 60 day waiting period before renting a box truck and we have no reason at all...none of us....to need assault trucks.
    Alternatively does anyone know if this is a TESLA truck?

    ok, lets just make all weapons legal, no back ground checks, grenades, everything.... if they can use trucks why even bother trying to stop them, that is what your saying right?

    - - - Updated - - -

    as I said, either way, just as bad, so many killed and other terrorist will take notice sadly

    Three people were in the truck, and apparently there's now an hostage situation in a restaurant near by

    I think this election could come down to an event like this days before the election... if it happens, there is no doubt in my mind Trump will have already established he's the candidate who wants to prevent these people from coming here, and Hillary will have already established its safe and we must legalize the already 10 million illegals who we have no idea who they are, and she wants to increase the number of refugees we bring in... this one single issue might be what this election comes down to if something happens days or a week before the election... early votes won't matter, people will come out in droves at that point to say no more immigrants or refugees...

    60 dead, over 100 injured, the police had already called the a terrorist attack. I'm betting, the perpetrator is a French citizen of middle eastern ancestry. Any bets against?

    do you think terrorist groups will sit down and plan some strategy, and decide which candidate they want, and either attack or not attack, based on that?

    I have to imagine they would rather have Hillary, and would thus not want to attack before the election, because Trump serious or not has said he would carpet bomb them and toughen up our borders and such which would make being a terrorist a little more difficult... do you think they would actually halt attacks until after the election as a strategy?

    you're going to have to supply some odds to increase the reward on the bet... I mean you're taking the best educated guess and expecting even odds, you're nuts!

    how do you think this will impact the EU itself, the more and more these events happen I have to imagine the more countries will want to secure their borders, even if like you said, these are citizens of the countries the attacks occur in, the feeling is there is an outside influence penetrating the borders and causing this to be amplified... if Britain really does exit, that pretty much leaves France and Germany as the foundation for the whole EU now, I can't imagine if France leaves its worth keeping in tact...

    Some French official said a few days ago that they are in a civil war. ..so it will only get worse. This is just the beginning. .. An attack was suspected on Bastille day.

    Proof that you don't need a gun to kill en masse.

    Time for Truck Control Laws.

    Real seriousness though, I keep reading reports saying whether there was or wasn't a hostage situation.

    This sure has all the "ear markings" of Islamist terrorism! If so, how much longer can Libs keep defending these roaches?
