Btw, my question to Joe was legitimate, simple and it went unanswered. Then you decided to become involved. So I'll ask you the same. And I've already stated what my opinion was several times earlier.☺ Fair right?
So once again, do you feel this was a terrorist attack?
If not, what do you consider it to be, based on everything we know at this point?
Once again, I feel It's very possible the driver was scared and was attempting to save himself from armed crowds. I could be wrong, but we'll see.
What's your take?
I think he was freaking out and trying to get away from a real threat.
I do not think this was a “terrorist attack”.
I have been agreeing with you from the beginning.
Not sure why this exchange has taken such a strange turn.
