These fucking bastards. If only killing them all was a possibility.

How can you stop something like this? You can't. It just requires one man in a truck to turn the wheel and drive into a crowd. You could have troops posted every 20ft feet on every street 24 hours a day and it still wouldn't prevent this from happening.
Sadly, I don't think it's big enough a tragedy.
But it's unfortunate that most of us realize the only thing preventing further military intervention is a fucking catastrophic loss of life.
The lack of integration causing issues in the EU states is something that isn't intuitive to those in the states given immigrant behavior here.

Was just going to bed in a positive mood, not now, such a terrible tragedy, can only hope those seriously injured get help ASAP, and everyone else stays safe,
Also we have no idea who did this and why at this point. Let's not jump to conclusions.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
Killing every single ISIS soldier in Iraq and Syria won't stop terrorism in Europe. That Islamist cancer growth has already spread throughout western Europe. There are terrorist cells everywhere, and thanks to Saudi Arabia there are now plenty of Salafist preachers going round, spreading hate, radicalizing young muslims and western converts to take up arms and fight the unbelievers in Europe instead of the Caliphate.
Who are you talking about?

Skynews just said they have a source telling them that it was an attack, but they don't have evidence yet. Still unclear.

Fuuuccckk. Noooo
autorities (local police prefecture) considering it an attack
Let's be honest, at this point it's not unreasonable to come to his/her conclusion.
❗️#Nice06 14/07/2016, 23h30 La préfecture des Alpes-Maritimes appelle les niçois à rester chez eux : opération de police en cours. #Nice
The Alpes-Maritimes prefecture called citizens to stay home : police operation in progress.

That's a nice sentiment and I agree that perspective is key. The world is on fire, though.
Take into account that this chart is from 2014, the situation in Iraq is possibly even worse, killings in Bangladesh, Turkey and Libya have soared, and western countries have also been affected.
The driver shot back against Police, so.....

The truck driver pulled a gun after he drove into the crowd.

France was last year, wasn't it? They just can't catch a break. If this is terrorism of course, but it sure seems like it.
I'm not saying it is, just that we don't know.
It's because the BBC insist on corobarating sources. Sky break a lot of stuff that turns out to be bollocks (not in this case though it seems)

Everyone in the area or with loved ones there, I hope you all the best, and please stay safe! I just look over at Off-Topic everyone once in a while, saw this, first I've heard of it, and it sounds dreadful.
Dreadful so many have died already, and hope the police crackdown on this soon.

My thoughts are with the people in Nice. Stay safe.

It's also that strange fact that, let's face it, this is still one of the most peaceful times in recent history. No World Wars, Colonialism isn't rampant, and so on.
We are looking at Humanity at its most peaceful known state. For better, and clearly, for worse.
