13 dead in Barcelona as van drives into crowd - hostage situation ensues

[UNCjigga]

Looking at photo purbeast posted, it seems like the street would be closed to vehicle traffic? I'm assuming they would've beefed up security in recent months at entry/exit points...How did the van get through??

uuuhhh that's a bit uncalled for mate. Bodies are still freaking warm.

That and people running around recording the carnage to possibly profit of selling it to the news makes me weep for humanity. Beyond the obvious sadness of the event.

Funny, I don't recall Obama ever making a "both sides" excuse for any ISIS-inspired terror attack in Europe. I wonder if Trump will mention "both sides" here?

Also, when was the last time BLM/Antifa ran down people with a car??

Right wingnuts are only so happy to prove that they love politicizing every dumb act by some dumb shit and blaming the left, all while their fringe elements are only too happy to emulate ISIS.

Stop quoting wafflemouth so we can ignore him in peace.

For the right, you have to invent the "evil things said" or "horrible things done" by the normal, "enemy left," in order to form a basis from which to attack those things. There is no rationalizing with these people when the very foundation of their ire is a fantasy enemy with fantasy ideas that exists purely within their own mind.

Roflsocks hasn't made a single cogent post in the mercilessly short period of time he has been a member here. Not one. the alt right nutters like roflsocks compensate for their terrible inability to engage critically with simple text (that fear of education, dooming them to lives of obsolescence) by inventing what they think their enemies must, indeed, be thinking. and what they must be saying. Mental impotence is their bread and butter.

Trump just issued tweet condemning this terrorist act. I have a question, since this was the EXACT SAME ACT as Charlottesville, what makes this terrorism and UVA not?

I'd say hate crime for lone wolves, and terrorism if there is material support / contact with a group.

So Timothy McVeigh was a lone wolf and not a terrorist.

Got it.

 

[Jaskalas]

Yes... I was just considering "hate crimes" don't really apply to, say, the unabomber. So I suppose Terrorism is a step above Hate Crime the way Murder is above Assault. Under such consideration lone wolves definitely classify as terrorists. As such, Charlottesville was definitely an act of terror.

Reasonable response. Sick of President and people here classifying terrorism based solely on perp being Muslim.

President Big Mouth has yet to acknowledge terror bombing on mosque in Minnesota earlier this month.

Man that stupid alt-right guy was a pretty pathetic terrorist. Some ISIS guy just did the exact same attack and out scored him 13 - 1.


Very sad attack. I'm 99% sure it's ISIS... this is sort of their MO. Maximum civilian casualties and destruction in a tourist area. Say what you like about al-Qaeda, they at least generally pick military or infrastructure targets.... still horrible tho.

 

[brycejones]

Orange turd of a leader only took a few hours to condemn this attack and tweet an inaccurate story attributed to Pershing.

Fucking pathetic.

Just saw an article about your avatar. Stupid me, I did not realize it wasn't just a swastika. I think I will download the image and tape it to the inside of my rear window.

Your propaganda sucks. Do a better job dammit!

 

[Blackjack200]

Damn I was in Las Ramblas a year ago to the date. Kind of scary to think about that.

It's really not though.

uuuhhh that's a bit uncalled for mate. Bodies are still freaking warm.

lmao, you're such a clown.

Like, say, the material support given by idiot leftists who make every excuse imaginable for Muslim carnage

Since Daily Stormer was kicked off the Internet, I guess users have been reduced to spreading propaganda the old school way? I'll be on the lookout for woodcuts and woodblock prints again.

hey, it's way less offensive (and still would have been--if it were a swastika) than that powder blue ram that he used to sport!

huh? What'd I do?

 

[Atreus21]

The Islamic State has claimed responsibility.

I was waiting with baited breath for the first toll post from the alt-right. I was expecting 15 minutes but you exceeded my expectation by getting yours in within 10 minutes. Well done.

Seriously though, does every post have to be a troll? Do you have actual ideas that you would like to defend with data and reason? Are grade school level taunts really that enjoyable for you? For many of the posters who are actually interested in rational discourse, posts like yours are not only a distraction but they are also quite boring. It gets rather tiresome to wade through a wall of troll to get the actual nuggets....

Well, the one time roflmouth slipped he accidentally revealed that not atypical opinion about a muslim genocide. He doesn't like to talk about that anymore. Don't worry though, every fellow conservative here's got his back.

Don't give our homegrown terrorists something more to aspire to.

 

[Blackjack200]

huh? What'd I do?

You started a thread about an attack that cost the lives of thirteen people that you care fuck-all about, and then got fake offended when someone made an off color joke.

 

[1sikbITCH]

The idiots on the left wait with baited breath to find out whether the perpetrator is Muslim, so they can start hysterically making excuses

The idiot on the right already tweeted:

The United States condemns the terror attack in Barcelona, Spain, and will do whatever is necessary to help. Be tough & strong, we love you!

When did you get the FACTS on events in Barcelona? How come it took 48 hours to get FACTS in the USA & you got them in 2 minutes from Spain?

ISIS seems to have pioneered a new and easy weapon of terror. I'm surprised this hasn't been thought of earlier.

Also worth mentioning this thing going on halfway around the world is exactly what the degens needed to take the heat off their buddies in charlottesville. Just wait for dear leader to harp on about in lieu of terrorists on his side.

Alt-right are only now starting to adopt ISIS tactics. Gotta give them a learning curve.

Yeah, they clearly see this as an opportunity to deflect some heat. Maybe the only surprising thing is how obvious and unsubtle they are about it. They're the kid in timeout in the corner of the classroom jumping up and down pointing out someone else breaking a rule.
