Shep at FOX said they will not show the carnage. CNN is showing bodies lying along the street.

Wolf Blitzer said it’s a “copycat” incident because of the car driving into a crowd in Charlottesville. What an idiot! As if the terrorists didn’t have this planned before Charlottesville. As if this never happened before in Europe.

"Wolf Blitzer said it’s a “copycat” incident because of the car driving into a crowd in Charlottesville."

Right -- this has never happened before Charlottesville...

Can't wait until I hear what Trump says 'wrong' about this incident...

That’s disgusting. First of all, they have had a multitude of Islamic vehicle attacks in Europe, and secondly, it is by no means certain that the guy in Charlottesville meant to plow into people. Even police at the time said he had panicked and was trying to get out of there. And if he did intend it, he sure did a bad job of it, killing only one person on a crowded street.

I can’t believe anybody would be idiotic enough to suggest that these incidents are connected.

I just tweeted Blitzer asking if he had lost his mind, not that will even be read or allowed to appear in his twitter feed. The Left is completely unhinged in their hatred for Trump and conservatives.

Could just be an adverse reaction to humping rabid donkeys.

Who are we to judge?

“The driver of the van is being hunted as he fled after ploughing into pedestrians outside a kosher restaurant”


AHA!!!! It must be Confederate soldiers.

I knew it was the accursed Moose Limbs the first moment that I read that a truck had gone up on the sidewalk and killed people...and this is (as far as I’m concerned) metaphysical proof that it was some Muzzie POS (yeah, I know, that’s an oxymoron. Too bad if’n you don’t like it).

We avoided Las Rambles when there in 2009. The fear was pickpockets.

Was there a couple of weeks ago. It was fun and beautiful. So sad this happened.

I find it rather difficult to feel empathy for a country that basically signed a suicide pact in electing their current cucked leaders. How did they expect it would turn out?
