Spain has bent over backwards to accommodate the demands of Muslim terrorists, but its brought them no peace. In fact, just the opposite. Spain is considered the hub for Islamic terrorism. These Muslim extremists now export terrorism to their neighbors like France, Germany and England.
Yesterday’s terror attack took place on a popular pedestrian walkway called Las Ramblas. It crosses Barcelona’s business and shopping center and when the death van showed up, it was very crowded. The attack has since been credited to Isis soldiers.
The attack began with a rented van as it careened down the street, swerving from side to side to mow down as many people as possible. They left behind a bloody scene of mangled bodies and broken limbs; men, women, children, young or old, it made no difference.
The most recent death toll is 13 with many more gravely wounded.
I saw some of the video at the scene and it was not fit for television. It was sickening. The bright red blood splatters were on the walls and sidewalks for many blocks, it was carnage on scale that reminded me of the 2004 Madrid training bombing and derailment, body after body, laid out for the ambulance crews to pick up.
Two people have been arrested and a 3rd has been identified and is being sought. The driver of the van is still unknown.
How do we stop such attacks once they begin? The only way this one could have been stopped was by armed police with the firepower to bring down the van. Failing that, then armed civilians, people licensed and trained, they could have saved many lives. But, don’t expect either to be around when the next attack happens as it surely will. Just be prepared to take it, then maybe hold a candlelight vigil, sing some songs and perhaps post a few signs saying, “Running over people is illegal” or “This is a van free zone.”
Thirteen people dead and at least 100 injured. It was a very good day for radical Islamists. The fact that the violence occurred in front of a Kosher Restaurant, no accident I’m sure, makes it all the more delicious for them. Two suspects are in custody, a third was killed in a house explosion, suggesting there may have been even more excitement planned for the celebration today…or tomorrow.
And in America…CNN’s Wolf Blitzer actually suggested the attack was a “copycat” of Charlottesville…no, really. Is the desire to link all violence to the political right in America so strong that he would make such a dumb remark?
It makes more sense (Wolf) that the Charlottesville attacker mimicked the Islamic terrorists that struck in Ohio, Jerusalem, St.-Jean-sur-Richelieu (Quebec), Paris, Stockholm, Nice, Berlin and England…if he was motivated by similar attacks at all. We have not heard about his mental state.
It’s a sad, sick old world.
Only morons like Blitzer would ask such a question. Gotta question his competency
“Spain has bent over backwards to accommodate the demands of Muslim terrorists, ….”
You want to expand on this bizarre statement? The only way it could possibly make any sense at all is if you believe that ALL of Spain’s Muslims are terrorists? Is that what you believe (as if I didn’t already know).
You, and the Trumpster, betray your true selves … repeatedly.
Actually, you and Tina both crack me up. These here clowns are “ISIS soldiers” and the scene is “… sickening. The bright red blood splatters were on the walls and sidewalks for many blocks”.
Whereas the clown in Charlottesville was a poor maligned and distraught patriot, and the incident mitigated by the vehicles he had to plow through to get to the people.
I mean … really.
“Whereas the clown in Charlottesville was a poor maligned and distraught patriot…”
Now whose betraying her true self?
Good God Libby! If anyone here has suggested such a thing, even as a joke, I haven’t read it. But that’s your bigoted thinking and it aligns nicely with the anarchists and actors that Democrats have paid to stand in the streets bearing clubs and rocks to deny speech and assembly rights to others and cause violence and destruction along the way. The joke of course is that it’s Democrats that have become fascistic, including their utilization of “revoluionary” elements like Antifa (little fascist brown shirts)….taking control over energy and healthcare was just a start!
In many ways it was you and your party that gave us Trump. And it is all of you, with all of your special interest politics and white male hatred, that has animated the KKK and the White Nationalists.
“In many ways it was you and your party that gave us Trump. And it is all of you, with all of your special interest politics and white male hatred, that has animated the KKK and the White Nationalists.”
Ooooh, that is some convoluted logic. (Mommy forbid me jump off the bridge, so it’s Mummy’s fault that I JUST HAD to do it!) It’s childish, and also dead wrong.
The Klansmen have always been with us. WE had them properly shamed and subjugated. YOUR Trump is the one validating their repulsive and inhumane beliefs.
There you go again, grossly misrepresenting history and misreading what I wrote.
The Klansmen have not “always been with us.” It’s an organization (similar to Antifa) that was organized by Southern Democrats after the Civil War to destroy property and terrify, intimidate, assault and murder folks…including the Lincoln Republicans. They were declared unconstitutional in 1882 and they faded away only to rise again. In the 1950’s and 1960’s the push for civil rights brought them out. Southern Democrats Congressmen fought the legislation tooth and nail.
Your party had nothing to do with shaming or subjugating the KKK. The American people as a whole did!
Your party shifted it’s stance on blacks because it could see the writing on the wall and it saw opportunity for power in promising blacks the moon to keep them happy and voting Democrat. To this day they have done very little to change negative conditions in the black community as a whole. In fact many of the cultural positions you lefties hold harm the black community: embrace of drugs, destruction of the traditional family, rejection of religion (Christian), promotion of abortion, protecting bad schools and teachers, celebrating violent music and gangs, divisive special interest politics.
Today the radical bigoted left is embracing those who are threatening and disparaging white people, particularly white men. See also here, here, here, here, here, here and here. The entire “privilege” meme was created to marginalize and demean white people and your party embraces this racism whole hog. It is this racist designed activism that is, as I wrote, ANIMATING
the KKK and White Nationalists.
It is a lie that Trump validates them in any way…a lie your lefty media and leadership perpetrate as part of their overall goal to bring him down, regain power, fundamentally transform America, and institute one party rule.
You’re a bunch of lying phonies.
Wasn’t it just last week that we watched a cell phone video of a leaky boat overcrowded with Muslims landing on a tourist beach somewhere in Spain? It is clear that Spain is a country without borders, as some would like America to be.
Yep, a good observation and a reason to have secure borders and controlled immigration.
Soaps, do you think North Korea would like to restart the war or is this all just a big game with them?
And none of them vetted, you can count on it, Soaps!
Wednesday night my grandson flew home from Spain where he’d spent the whole summer with the family of the exchange student who had been here all of last year going to school.
No words can express my relief to know he’d come home the day before the attack that took place where he had been several times.
No words can express my anger for our government knowing but not putting out an alert months ago advising American travels of the high probability of an attack taking place in Spain.
