Dozens killed as truck plows into Bastille Day Parade in Nice, France

[Godfather]

Dozens of people were killed in the French Riviera city of Nice late on Thursday when a truck plowed into crowds watching a fireworks display on France's Bastille Day national holiday, the mayor said on Twitter.​

French TV channel BFM TV said at least 30 people were killed as a crowd was celebrating.

The truck rammed into the crowd on the Promenade des Anglais seaside walk in the centre of town, regional newspaper Nice Matin reported, citing its own reporter at the scene.

The paper published a photograph of a damaged, long-distance delivery truck, which it said was "riddled with bullets" and images of emergency services treating the injured.

Damien Allemand, the paper's correspondent, was quoted as saying: "People are running. It's panic. He rode up onto the Prom and piled into the crowd.… There are people covered in blood. There must be many injured."

An eyewitness said there were "bodies everywhere."

French television channel BFM TV said the local prefecture in Nice was treating the incident as an attack and was asking people to stay at home.

"A truck rammed into the crowd over a long distance, which explains this extremely heavy toll," Sebastien Humbert, the prefect for the Alpes-Maritime area said on BFM TV.

Humbert said the truck driver had been shot dead and that he was treating the incident, which he said left 100 injured, as an attack for the moment.

Sounds like possible terrorism. Apparently the driver was shooting, or got out and started shooting after he ran over and killed up to 60 people and injured 100+. Fucking horrendous.

Fairly SFW video of truck driving into crowd :?

Were going to end up having to round up people again if this continues. Start sending people back to their countries of origin.

[RBP]

So I am confused. This was a known, advertised, printed, suggested, Al Queda tactic.

France was still on high alert, and yet they were caught "completely off guard". :huh:

The truck is not stopped before it gets to the crowd. You can see French police chasing the vehicle at the point it starts to accelerate. It is allowed to go 1.5 miles. Take that in... 2.4 kilometers, and still nobody stops the truck?? How can it get that close and go that far without a single French security person putting a bullet in his head? Not even in the tires??

[Godfather]

Have you heard of the Maginot line? The way the french build barriers, the guy probably just had to drive around them.

No doubt we will find out the driver is French like the American who shot the gay club up, so how do we send these people back?

I bet fbd has different answers to D

I think I got them all right. #11 is "B" right?

And it might just be a coincidence that France's emergency power was expiring that day......and Hollande uses this to immediately declare more attacks on....Syria and Libya? no facts or investigation, bam, immediately directly right there. illegal international attacks and a further expansion of emergency powers.

the perp leaves not only his ID but bank book....in a rented truck?


The odds of these coincidences causing France to declare an extention of emergency measures on the day they expired, and an expanded engagement in Syria just before Kerry goes to Moscow to discuss Syria, are starting to look like lottery winning odds.

1 angle of glare in the middle of a "bullet hole" and the other all blackey black...

[Godfather]

FBD I'm always impressed at your ability to never believe the simplest explanation is the most likely :lol:

[FBD]

I could say the same, people hellbent on taking over the world's central banks and arm-barring their governments into submission, dont care about the people that live there, create economic misery, siphon money and resources off the places, then they blow shit up and blame it on cave dwellers that wouldnt have any armaments if not for what was provided to them :lol:



that also happens to be the simplest explanation for a shine coming from the black part of a bullet hole in 1 photo and perfectly black in another - bullet stickers. nobody saw this truck until it was already shot at and mowing people down.

and bullets dont leave square holes, even when coming from extreme angles

[Godfather]

Right, the best explanation is that the central banks used pry bars to create fake bullet holes in the truck, rather than just shooting it themselves when they were inventing this plot. Idiots!

What's the source of this nonsense :lol: I did a searched for your article and can't find it.

Also to your point about 'nobody saw this truck until it was already shot at'... this video clearly shows the truck before holes...

How many different calibers and different types, thicknesses of steel/aluminum have you personally tested this on?

Me? I've never personally tested it but I have worked on cars that the bullet TORE through the metal instead of punching a perfectly round hole.

[Godfather]

How can you be sure those cars weren't owned by the Illuminati though?











(I'm sorry :lol: )

seen enough of 'em to know that mh-17 was not bullets, even though obama's crayon drawing said otherwise ;)

so since a round hole is right out, what does that make a nearly perfectly rectangular hole? :-k

it makes it....no, cant go there? :lol:


and besides - when cops shoot they tend to spray all over the place like a drunk at the pisser - how is it that they only hit the windshield? they ripped the whole front off of this thing, and not a single bullet hole in the radiator, windshield fluid tank, any of the armature in the front. or maybe perhaps they had a steel plate in front that bullets couldnt go through :lol:
