Barcelona terrorist attack

[PAPISJEEP]

EDIT: And it's confirmed that ISIS has accepted responsibility.

Was there ever any doubt ???

Could have been Basque/ETA.

Annnnd, here comes CNN's Wolf Blitzer with this little gem:

"There will be questions about copycats," Blitzer said. "There will be questions if what happened in Barcelona was at all a copycat version of what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. Even though there may be different characters, different political ambitions, they used the same killing device: a vehicle going at high speed into a group, a large group of pedestrians."

He is not very bright is he. Hey Wolf, buddy, did you know that ISIS has been doing this for a couple years now? So, how is that a copy of Charlottesville?

I need his job, grow a grey beard, blather consistently like a putz, and get a big paycheck.

Some people are just too stupid for their own good. What a fucking disgrace to journalism.

I am waiting for his next gem. Will it be a new push to outlaw vehicles, or pedestrians? Enquiring minds want know.

Lars Larson had a reporter on that said Europe has had 30 attacks like this since the first of the year. 28 have been attributed to Issis or Muzlim origin.

Thats one every 7.6 days....

So much tragic violence in the world. Most of it at the hands of fascists and radical Islam.

I did find one interesting picture - this guy appears to be an armed civilian or perhaps undercover officer in Spain? What are the gun laws in Spain I wonder?

I think the three in yellow also have badges on the vests. But it does appear they are armed as well.

If you enlarge the photo, it definitely looks like the ones in the vests are also armed. I wonder if they have some sort of quick-response program established to call up off-duty LEOs if SHTF. It's Europe, so when SHTF.

I didn't see if anyone mentioned that an explosion in a residential neighborhood yesterday is also thought to be related. Daily Mail story -- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4800830/One-dead-explosion-near-scene-Barcelona-attack.html

And now there's word of a possible second attack? Also from the Daily Mail -- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4800282/PICTURED-Moroccan-man-rented-Barcelona-van.html Update: Sounds like this may have been a gunfight between the police and terrorists. Hoping the 4 dead are all bad guys.

It's the master plan to get Europeans to pray five times a day, I guess. #PrayForBarcelona

[OhShoot!]

Fucking cowardly way to kill people.

I know it is dark humor... and it made me laugh. I felt dirty and evil after I laughed.
Pretty grim times.

Is there a brave way? Duel perhaps?? Odd comment...

Why do I feel like that reply was directed more at the poster than the post? Don't do that.

Bad to say, but Im almost getting numb to it. Its obvious there is a MAJOR problem, yet nothing is being done about it over there. Immigrants coming in by the boat loads on the daily, no vetting system, no real plan on where to put them, no plan how to roll them into the population, and ignorant politicians with blinders on. Europe is slowly slicing its own throat.

Sorry and it wasn't meant to be. I guess I was looking for dialogue and clarity.

I think a major problem is that talking about it is considered hate speech in a lot of Western European countries. Hate speech will land you in prison there. However if no one can ever talk about it, then the problem will never be fixed.
