Vehicle attacks of the sort seen in Barcelona are easy to organise and difficult to stop and have become part of a new reality for Europeans, experts say.
Paris, Berlin, Nice, London and Stockholm have already seen extremists drive vehicles into crowds. The latest attacks in Barcelona and the seaside resort of Cambrils left at least 14 dead and 100 injured on Thursday night. The atrocities by extremists willing to die carrying out an attack are likely to lead to a rash of new security measures designed to protect pedestrians. But experts warn that citizens' safety cannot be guaranteed 100 per cent.
"It's the principle of 'soft targets'," Frederic Gallois, the former head of France's elite GIGN police force, told AFP. "Any gathering of people is a soft target and there are crowds everywhere."
Islamic terror has become such a fact of everyday life - no one is even talking about Barcelona today, a mere 24-36 hours after the fact.
Its no big deal.
Europe sucks.
It would be easy to stop if our "rulers" wanted to stop it. They don't. Terrorism keeps the little people in check.
Notice the cities not attacked. Warsaw, Praque, Budapest etc... I wonder why?
Perhaps because nobody goes there?
grin
It is politically incorrect to say so, but Eastern Europe seems to have adopted a solution. Namely don't let people into your country who pledge allegiance to a political philosophy that requires them to kill non-members.
On the local TV here the newscasters were agonizing on how you could possibly stop such murderous events ....
It is Islam - don't let it take root in your Country. The West would rather commit suicide than be accused of 'intolerance'.
You've obviously never been to Prague. The Charles Bridge is jam packed with tourists all hours of the day.

Sigh, just get used to it, keep welcoming refugees.... sure, the frog pot is hot, but hey.
They don’t want to face the fact that there is no way to eliminate Islamic terror without getting Muslims to leave.
Free society had a chance to end terror days after 9/11. Quite the opposite has happened as terror has adjusted and Western Society has gradually rotted away by PC and Islam.

No Islamists, that’s for sure. It’s all about the Hungarian border fence. Interestingly enough, wealthy (and wise) Germans have been fleeing Merkel’s Reich the last few years, and relocating to Hungary.
And Islam has nothing to do with race. The West is committing suicide for the error of claiming Islam is a race.
A-OK with Arab Christians. Not OK with Muslim Bosnians.
I am also probably OK with Amahni (sp?) Muslims, who if I understand correctly, reject a literal interpretation of the koran, and just hold to a 'love thy neighbor as thyself' creed. Of course they are declared heretics by mainstream muslims.
I was in Edinburgh Scotland during the fringe festival and they had massive concrete barricades at the entrances to closed streets where plays and activities were taking place.
If a city is willing to designate pedestrian only areas or has wide sidewalks where strong bollards can be placed there is a lot that can be done to keep vehicles and pedestrians apart.
The only problem is that the next step will be truck bombs.
[[’Low-Cost Terror’ Is a New Reality for Europeans]]
It’s a reality and how they operate.
All they had to do is watch Israel’s news any day of the week to realize this.
Oh but wait , they have made excuses for them all these years they have been using the same tactics against Israel. They have insisted that Israel bow to them and hand them their land. They have insisted that Israel not fight back against them because it’s their own fault they have Islamic troubles.
I think the Europeans should take their own advice and hand their lands and the properties over to their muslim invaders. Why not ? If they think it will appease them in Israel it should appease them in France , Spain , England and Germany too. /sarcasm
Liberals never learn . They are special and because they do something and have the so called right reason they will do it better and get a different result .
What is so hard for them to understand about if you bring murderers , thieves , rapist and pedophiles into your neighborhood that they will kill your neighbors , rape their offspring and steal their property . Oh but it’s so loving to bring them in . Quick change your Facebook picture to a rainbow and you will feel like you did something for the victims and that will make it all better . MORONS !
You can choose to not go to large terror targets like the WTC and most of us can choose not to fly. You can't stop shopping or sending your kids to school.
