So awful. Still doesn't seem to be clear what it was... that is, was it a terrorist attack? Some random person?

I'm withholding any hot takes until the attacker is identified. There are multiple possibilities, some overlapping.

You really do believe that, don't you?

I'm not fully sure what you mean. My first guess is that you're saying the attacker was a Muslim, which is fairly likely, but I'd like to see it confirmed first.

On and on it goes. Europe is the new Middle East.

I think "isolated mass murder incident" is more like the USA than the Middle East, actually.

Uh-huh. OK.

Terrifying. Hoping anyone on here who lives in that area of the world is safe/stays safe.

Over 73 dead.

So far with hundreds injured.

I'm starting to get desensitized to this shit in Europe just like I have been desensitized to it in the Middle East (due to violence there being in the backdrop of all the news I've absorbed since I was a kid), and this feeling of desensitization is kind of creeping me out.

I hope the death toll doesn't climb any higher.

Same. When it happened in Paris in November, I was in shock and couldn't relax all night. Now it's like... "wow, that's awful, onto the next thing..."

And I'm not proud of that.

Yeah.

I'm just starting to feel a bit hopeless. Angry and hopeless. And also numb. Like it's the new mass shooting in the US. Violence after violence after violence.

I found out about this when I caught a glimpse of the news coverage on a TV while walking through the lobby of the hotel where I'm staying for work. I just thought "Whelp. Time to go up to my room and find out what happened THIS TIME."

I expected something would happen on or around Bastille Day, but I can't believe their law enforcement couldn't have done more to prevent something this serious.

I hope people remember that this is not "The middle east is full of violent sociopaths" rather than this being a natural reaction to france's xenophobic and racist culture.

Re: New attack in France

(Anonymous) 2016-07-15 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
There's nothing natural about it.

Unfuckingbelievable victim-blaming. Unbelievable.

And how do you explain away all the attacks in the middle east by people from those very countries on their fellow countrymen?
