Total blackout on France24, mentioned 3rd Column on Drudge. Fox, like DeeCee take, weekends off. More news about the threat of "hate speech" out of UK.

"Total blackout on France24...."

Was the gunman shouting Orly Akbar?

Total blackout ups the odds that the muhammad coefficient is nearly 1.0.

"Police have dismissed terrorism as a motive, with local radio suggesting the attack may be drug crime-related."

It's never terrorism until they say. And they never say.

Taking a gun out and randomly shooting people is pretty much the definition of terrorism, no matter who or what the reason.

Most urbanized cities in Europe with train stations...are also drug sales centers. Cops have virtually all come to the conclusion that it was a drug-gang ‘message’ to an opposing drug-gang, with civilians in the middle.

If you go to Essen, Germany or Duisburg, Germany...various drug-gangs (Lebanese, Serbian, Turk, Kurd, etc) in the mix. They all have illegal weapons (shocker for the authorities with all the laws in place). About once a month now in Germany, there’s some drug-war activity....gang shoot-outs. Cops come in...pick up the body, and write a report....little else occurs. Prosecution and Judges have no stamina for handling cases like this.

So the gangs seem to be made up of immigrants and refugees...Another reason to close borders!!

It is NOT terrorism and it is NOT related to Islam.

Huguenots at it again.

And Lord knows terrorists never deal in narcotics to fund their evil /s

People sometimes forget how much Afghanistan junk goes toward funding terrorism.
