I was there six weeks ago, our hotel was across the street from the Boqueria Market.

And let me tell you, The Ramblas is always packed with people at all hours of the day, this is terrible.

Most likely. But there are other wackos active in Spain right now too. Some are even attacking tourists who are doing nothing but trying to enjoy a holiday. The whole world has gone insane.

The BBC reports say two men are inside a bar, reportedly the men who were in the truck.

Just the other day I was reading about how Spain has joined Italy and Greece as a major European entry point for Islamic “immigrants”.

The article did say that unlike the other two countries, Spain will accept no nonsense from the Islamists. We shall see.

Has nothing to do with Islam.

If Trump condemns it as Islamic terrorism, wait for the chorus of outrage to hit media outlets.

There is no such thing *cough* as Islamic terrorism.
