Nice

Give your narratives an extra hug tonight, media friends:

“It seems he was radicalized very quickly,” Cazeneuve said following a ministerial meeting at the Elysee Palace in Paris.
It’s also unclear whether or not Bouhlel, who was shot dead by police that night, had been acting alone.
The Paris prosecutor’s office said Saturday that five people are in custody following the attack. The identities of most of those taken into custody were not clear. But neighbors in the Nice neighborhood where the Bouhlel used to live told The Associated Press that his estranged wife had been taken away Friday by police.

You never know when your time together will end.

  1. French authorities and media have yet to produce any evidence that the killer, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, was radicalized.

    Oh.. No..
    He was not radicalized.
    He was just a poor Islamic Muslim truck driver rushing to get home and the damn racists cops stopped and then shot him to death..
    Please Send flowers or memorial donations to CAIR or The Muslim Brotherhood.
    Sheeeesh..

  2. Authorities and media have yet to produce any evidence that the killer, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, was radicalized.

    Actually, 84 dead and 15 injured racist Nice pedestrians stood in front of his White Muslim truck and tried to stop him from delivering ice cream.
    But as you all know,
    He was using a Large Caliber White Automatic Assault truck during these deaths,
    maybe the NRA or the KKK had a hand in this crime.
    No truck should ever have over 18 wheels !!

  3. “It’s also unclear whether or not Bouhlel…… had been acting alone”
    ‘ALONE’ if you discount Islam’s sweet peaceful tenets running through his head.
    ‘Muhammed take the wheel’

  4. Listening to CBC’s story on the event this morning makes me sick, the effort to misdirect the public opinions on this attack is unreal.

  5. For sure, he was a “lone wolf” that is why we get reports of multiple guns and grenades in the van.
    If these are true, where did this “humble lorry driver” get the cash and line of supply to aquire his excess weaponry?
    And if acting alone, why did he bother?

  6. Was he radicalized?
    Or as Spengler posits above, Mo was a low ife criminal that the “police” were using as an informant?
    “Do this, or we kill everyone you hold dear in nasty ways before we cut you up? AND. Do it, You can die as a martyr and be instantly taken to paradise.”

  7. Number six which never made the list, should have been number one.
    Stop immigrating them into Canada. Leftwardism is a disease.

  8. The truck had been specially prepared and the route and attack had to have been planned.
    Somehow this loser had $110,000 to wire to his family the day before the attack.
    I bet if France fired a tac nuke into Raaqqa Syria, this crap would instantly stop.

  9. “I bet if France fired a tac nuke into Raaqqa Syria, this crap would instantly stop.”
    I doubt it. This is an apocalyptic Islamist movement after all.

  10. Am I the only one who looked at this picture of the truck’s cab and said WTF? At least 25 shots and not one of them anywhere near where the driver sits. Is Inspector Clouseau heading up SWAT operations in France?

  11. The end to this will require the wisdom of Solomon. Lobbing nukes at random into hot spots of the Middle East could reduce the pool of willing jihadis, or it could just expand it. My guess is that it would expand it. The expansion would take place in untouched parts of the Islamic region and from within our own countries (as in fact much of it already has).
    Personally, I don’t see much point in the random lobbing of nukes, in part because you can’t expect that to include all targets that produce jihadis, and partly because of collateral damage considerations.
    The more productive approach is probably to lean very heavily on domestic sources of terror (broadly defined) and at the same time place much stricter quarantines on movement to and from certain parts of the Middle East. Nothing is going to produce perfect results. But leaning hard on the communities that can be identified as rich in jihadi production may change the dynamics in our favour. What we need to do, while there is still time, is to make jihad so costly and negative in its consequences to carefully designed source groups, that pressure will be exerted from within by those less extremist on those ready to commit these acts. And if those measures don’t begin to produce the right results, then I would imagine the next step would have to be deportation, but nobody should be talking about deporting all Muslims (or at least in Canada, most Muslims). Groups must be identified and it must be made clear that our response (speaking more generally of all western countries) is going to be exponential. One bad terrorist attack would mean one level of pressure, two would not double it but square it.
    I really doubt that most western politicians have the stomach or even the abilities to make any of this happen. That means the population will have to seek out alternatives who can, and who will. But as to nuclear surgery, that should only happen perhaps in one or two cases of very opportune targeting, and even then, I think we need to look for non-nuclear (although on a large scale) strategies. It’s too bad the neutron bomb technology lies dormant, or does it?

  12. Wait for the Assualt Truck Control Laws to be passed maybe hollywood halfwit Liam Nesson will blame american truck drivers for this like he did with american gun owners

  13. @Matt:
    I was watching CBC at the gym this morning and read the trailer “Motive Unclear for Nice Rampage” or something to that effect. Gosh, are they all brain damaged at the CBC? As a Canadian, they embarrass me.
