Sympathy should be our only response to the Nice terror attack

Eighty-four people died late on Thursday night as a lorry drove for more than a mile through the Bastille Day crowds in the southern French city of Nice. The driver eventually died in a hail of police bullets. The incident, on a day when the French celebrate equality, liberty and fraternity, could hardly be more horrific.

The equivalent a woman should just close her eyes and take it.

Hey Simon, how much are the Saudis paying you (or, perhaps, your editor) ? /sarc>

NO WAY can I open the Guardian. My computer is conservative and goes into shock :)

I could blather like I usually do about the can go #### themselves and I’d like to see them get attacked etc., but what’s the point anymore?

They are in their death throws and they know it.

They are the Germany supporters in 1940.

Continuing my theory that The Guardian is the work-therapy program for London's Bethlehem Hospital for the Mentally Ga-ga.

sympathy?! should i feel sympathy to the guy that loses a finger juggling chainsaws?

no. it was bound to happen.

i feel as much sympathy for nice as i do for germany and sweden and the hundreds/thousands of women being victimized by their moronic diversity policy.

Tell that to Mr. Trump!

Keep it up BLM/Islamofacists and you will help Donald J. Trump WIN!

Since their invention at the end of the 19th century, motor vehicles have been agencies of terror and death. The first car bomb was “Buda’s wagon”, which blasted Wall Street in 1920. Cars and trucks are not going to be banned, any more than America is going to ban guns. The only sensible response is to accept the degree of risk that they will always pose, and not pretend it can be made to disappear.

I swear, I really thought this vomit-inducing tripe would end with a "satire" tag. If this is representative of the Euro mindset, there truly is no hope for them. At all. Revolting.

Well, we will load very sympathetic bullets into our rifles then.

[blueunicorn6]

WTF?

We kill them and we keep on killing them until they are tired of getting killed.

This isn’t a goddamn high school debate.

This is people dying.

Toughen up or jump off a cliff.

Just don’t get in my line of fire. I don’t want to waste any lead on idiots.

Ah, the modern, enlightened European approach. Recognizing a common threat and working together to overcome it is so last century.

“I gonna kill you, you dumb F—k!”..............................

Exactly. Radical Islam is at war with us. We need to make war on them and destroy their caliphate, killing as many of them as brutally as possible.

[MeganC]

My sympathies are with the victims and my rage is for the Muslims and let me make clear that I mean ALL OF THEM.

[max americana]

I stopped reading this SH*T from the guardian after the editors wanted to ‘arrest’ Dick Cheney for starting the Iraq war.

Seriously. They make the NYT look like the Tea Party.

[The Toll]

Fine fine, go build a mountain of teddy bears, I’ve got carbine drills to run.

*spit*

What? No, the answer should be the annihilation of that evil death cult they call Islam!

So the West should just tolerate terrorist attacks by Muslims?
