84 Confirmed dead after another apparent terrorism attack in Nice, France,
- Thread starter Scania
- Start date
RIP to the victims and my heart and condolences go out to the family and friends and everyone else affected by this utterly disgusting act of evil beyond comprehension.
How anyone in their right mind can believe that they are going to Heaven after such utterly evil acts is beyond me. It's absolutely mind boggling.
As if God is going to say - "oh well done for mowing down around 100 innocent people and ending their lives, oh and children too - here, this way to Heaven."
It's absolutely beyond mental. Sick.

Such a tragedy. My thoughts are with all of those people touched by this mass murder.
Information seems sketchy but it would seem that the perpetrator was perhaps mentally unstable. I have read that he was possibly on medication for schizophrenia and has a history of violent outbursts.
Whatever the case, a very sad time for those involved, for France and for the world.

I know. And?
Well no, you won't. Because they pumped him full of lead
Obviously if doctors were treating him for psychiatric issues more will come out in the weeks to come, like I said on the Jo Cox thread 1-4 each year experience mental health issues.

Whilst LFF is not a mod, her post was exactly right. Please post in the FCD. I'm not saying that your post wasn't a valid point - but that this isn't the place to discuss it

Why ?
its about this very thread. i'm not criticizing the deleted posts, well done on that part but surely let some discussion go on without it having to be just about condolences.

It seems a little far to have a blanket ban on any discussion. The personal insults were all going too far though.

There's a post that I've quoted above from a UB that confirms that discussion can go on.
The issues we have seen here have primarily been people using this tragedy as a means to "score points" against groups of people that they have problems with. That is horribly crass and completely unacceptable.
It is understandable that speculation will occur after a horrible act such as this. Respect for the dead should not be lost, however.
I don't really want to get into further discussion about it here. Please post in FCD if there is anything you believe is problematic or you wish to get further clarification on.
Ok, I didn't realise the importance of this particular day.
I see why they'd pick this, but surely if they're going for numbers or shock value then the final of a european football championship held in the capital, featuring the home team and televised to millions would have been a prime target too. A part of me almost expected it but I was pleasantly surprised when nothing happened.
Sad times
Yeah it's a big one. We don't really have something to match it over here.
I know what you mean about going for raw numbers. I've often thought sports tournaments are the perfect target too. Also very pleasantly surprised. Not that this in any way is a worthy trade.

"Very pleasantly surprised" is how I feel the French intelligence/security services (they're not exactly known for their impeccable standards) were feeling after the football passed without obvious public incident. As I said before, that collective institutional first sigh of relief is as good a time as any.

Indeed. I woke up at 5:30 and remarked that the death toll of 18 was horrific....
That's a good point - had they let their guard down. It would seem so from the announcement that they were intending to lower the threat level.
