Daily Mail has an article on the Nice attack with a lot pictures, heartbreaking.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3691019/Several-people-injured-truck-crashes-crowd-Bastille-Day-celebrations-Nice.html

There are simply no words. People just sat by their dead loved ones as the night went on. Because the scene was just so large (over a mile) it's not like they could contain the entire scene. So you have many images like this:





I weep for France.

Crying now.

France is strong. They will get through this. I lived there, I know.

especially the one with the empty strollers left behind! People of all races, cultures, nationalities, and religions were callously mowed down by yet another thug!

I know the Promenade des Anglais well and have often stayed in the vicinity of the Negresco (never being able to afford the Negresco itself). My heart aches for everyone who lost loved ones or was hurt in this massacre.

I also weep for those innocents who will be demonized.

You could be standing next to your spouse, your friend, even your child, and they could be killed while you were left physically unharmed. It is as barbaric a sight as I've ever seen, as evil an act as I know of.

I am so enraged right now that I would sign off on putting a 300,000 strong NATO force directly into northern Syria and Anbar province to wipe out 30,000 of these fucking animals, though I know it would do no good.

Just anguish.

And the first self-satisfied scold who asks me why I feel this way about Nice but not X-Other-Place can fuck right off.
