A day after a terrorist mowed down dozens of people celebrating Bastille Day in the coastal French city of Nice, investigators dug into the life of the man they say was the killer: A 31-year-old delivery driver and Nice resident who was born in Tunisia.

Authorities said Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove a rented, refrigerated truck weighing about 20 tons into crowds along a roughly 2-kilometer stretch of Promenade des Anglais on Thursday night, killing 84 people -- including 10 children and adolescents -- and injuring 202 others.

The attack ended when police shot into the truck, killing Bouhlel, French prosecutor François Molins said Friday.

...Something about that name Mohammed, I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Muslims are a homosexual culture—the males hate filthy women. The boys are groomed and molested in the Mosques to hate women and love males/boys and goats—sodomy is “good” in their “holy book”.

The muslim women don’t like the puerile, evil males. (like Huma—who picked a homosexual Weiner “to marry”). She prefers women-—learned muslim lifestyle in childhood.

Worldview is learned in childhood and Virtue is habit. Without virtue formation, there is no capability of being good, unless a miracle of God.

Yeah? Well I saw a guy on Fox News yesterday explaining how a Muslim guy he met in Germany felt ostracised because there were too many blonde haired and blue-eyed (native) Germans and not enough Muslims. I was so disgusted and insulted by his comments that I damn near threw my beer at the TV screen, but I was in a sports bar and I knew I couldn’t afford to pay for the damages to a 12’ wide big screen TV.

You know the name I’d like to know about?

There was a scooter/motorcycle-ist who came up along side the truck and tried to jump from the scooter onto the door of the truck. Obviously in an attempt to stop the driver, he almost made it but slipped, or was shot, and fell to the pavement. I don’t know if he got run over or if he’s just bruised. That’s a story that should be told.

He or she is a hero.

"Mohamed"

Wow, weird coincidence! But this has nothing to do with Islam.

“After Bouhlel was shot, police found a handgun and some ammunition in the truck’s cab, as well as a replica handgun, two replica assault rifles,”

THAT’S IT: Time for “Common Sense Gun Control”. The guns did the killing! Just their presence.

I knew that if I read far enough, I’d find the REAL CAUSE.

I’m not sure why the police did not search the truck? He said he was delivering ice cream? The street was closed to vehicles.

I hope so. The alternative is unthinkable.

He made it into hell the old fashioned way. He earned it. He will reside in one of the hottest spots down there. Sucks to be him.

“...this all happened because the guy had mental issues and not because he was a muslim...”

The first part is true because the last part isn’t.

He IS muslim, and his “mental problems” (violent anti-social behavior) are the direct product of that affiliation.
