NICE, FRANCE – Reaction has been swift after an apparent terrorist drove a truck through a crowded section of Nice, France, killing dozens and wounding scores more.
People were celebrating Bastille Day Thursday night and had gathered along a roadway when a 31-year-old man drove truck through the crowd. It was reported that he zig-zagged and tried to strike as many people as possible. Graphic footage from the scene showed mutilated bodies all along the roadway as medics and others tended to the wounded, who cried out in pain. It has been reported as many as 80 persons were killed in the attack, and scores more injured.
“France is bereaved, afflicted, but she is strong and will always be stronger than the fanatics who want to strike her today,” French President Francois Hollande said afterward.
As a result of the horrific attack, U.S. President Obama made the following statement:
“On this Bastille Day, we are reminded of the extraordinary resilience and democratic values that have made France an inspiration to the entire world, and we know that the character of the French Republic will endure long after this devastating and tragic loss of life.”

“Once again, it appears that terrorists have struck at one of our closest allies in Europe, attacking families celebrating the history and culture of their country on Bastille Day. Every American stands in strong solidarity with the people of France, arid we say with one voice: we will not be intimidated. We will never allow terrorists to undermine the egalitarian arid democratic values that underpin our very way of life. This cowardly attack only strengthens our commitment to our alliance and to defeating terrorism around the world. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and injured, and with all our friends in France.”
“Another horrific attack, this time in Nice, France. Many dead and injured. When will we learn? It is only getting worse.
“My prayers and condolences to the victims and families of the terrible tragedy in Nice, France. We are with you in every way!
“In light of the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have postponed tomorrow’s news conference concerning my Vice Presidential announcement.”

All I know is my health care costs twice as much now for the same coverage I had 1 year ago. The rich elites have the dems in there back pockets so they keep getting richer, I can’t tell which one is which .
In the spirit of Emperor Donald……We need to build a wall and make ISIS pay for it. Then kick all the Muslims out of the country. Problem solved.
Thanks to the poorest excuse for a president we have ever had. Obummercare.
We needed a coup 7 years ago when the liberal baby killers voted odummy in as the head racist. Libs don’t care about this except they want more of it .
Seriously Lloyd, you are one freakin’ dumbass.
Diagnosis: You have a serious case of cranial rectal inversion Lloyd.
A medical condition where a moronic person has their cranium lodged/inserted through their own rectal cavity.
Suggest that you have a Plexiglas bellybutton installed so that you can see where you are going.
Wow, you are so freaken original yourself. Try giving an original thought.
We must ban these large capacity assault trucks. I heard it was an automatic as well – no one needs a truck that large, except for the government.
Trying to make humor out of this tragedy is classless.
Your analpain only makes my penis harder.
They need a truck like that in the twin cities.
Obama and Hitlary reading from the telepromter again and then doing nothing to resolve the problem. Hard to believe those two idiots want to bring terrorist to our country.
You talk like a terrorist…… and a hater.
You talk like a liberal idiot who is to stupid to know the truth. Go Trump.
That would be “too” stupid, Trumpster.
That’s LVS you’re commenting on, he’s an idiot & an ignorant old coot.
He’ll deny that it is him, but you can tell by the same old bullshit, limited vocabulary and no grammar skills.
Evolution in reverse if you will.
Look here, the village idiot is trying to be cute again. What a waste of time and space. Screw off idiot.
Hey LVS…… I see that rumors of your recent death were erroneous. Perhaps brain dead which is more likely the case.
Oh Otis, glad to hear from you again. I thought you had suffocated with your head so far up your ass. Dumb Ass.
Of course I hate terrorist. Only stupid liberals don’t and you are certainly one of those. Wake up before it is to late Dumb Ass.
Terrorists strike again in France and you blame Obama?
What we need is more gun control in the U. S. Oh, and don’t forget, we need to love the muzzies.
If Obama wasn’t such a weak leader and a pansey we would have eliminated ISIS long ago. That is what happens when you have Mussie for a president.
Just how would we have eliminated ISIS long ago? I think most of the world is trying to eliminate ISIS. Based on the number of attacks recently, I think we must be making a difference.
Hang on a sec Bo while he consults Rush or Faux News for a canned answer. Perhaps even a Trumpian Proclamation about building a wall of some sort.
It is real easy. Put in the number of troops and assets required to take them out of their headquarters. Of course the easy way would have been not to pull the troops out before the job was done. Of course Obama does nothing the right way. It would offend his Muslim Brothers. If that is to hard for you to understand let me know. Especially Rump for brains.
LVS, it isn’t too hard for me to understand. How many troops and assets are required? Do you have grandchildren you want over there fighting that war? Do all ISIS members have a mark on them that lets us know they are ISIS? Your simplistic solution for such a complex problem is ridiculous.
LVS is one of those chicken-hawk pussies.
He never served in the military & has no idea what it takes, but is willing for others to die while he sits on his pathetic wrinkled old ass.
I have no problem with anyone that never served, but when those that didn’t and then want war, war and more war, well they are about the lowest yellow-bastards around.
I spent 14 months in the Mekong Delta while LVS was sitting on his chicken shit ass.
War is sometimes inevitable, but craven cowards like LVS just piss me off.
Too little, too late has been done to destroy ISIS and the entire radical Islamic invasive species. This joke of an administration has drug it’s feet for years while misleading the public on the true nature of the threat. Obama and Hillary want to import thousands more undocumented Muslims while Europe is being invaded by millions of “refugees.” This invasion is a direct and catastrophic result of the civilized world’s “deer in the headlights” inaction.
9/11 really did happen, and the Saudis were behind it. Even after 15 years of withholding, redacting and revisions, the 28 pages of the 9/11 Report implicate the Saudi Royal Family..the wealthiest most evil entity in history. They are funding Islamic “schools” around the world that are churning out hollow-headed murderers by the thousands.
There’s a really big train coming, and we are all sitting on the tracks.
Comments were not aimed at you Bodacious. They were for the two butt head with their heads up each others ass so far they are suffocating.
Ban all truck. They are dangerous. While you are at it, ban all Muslim’s too. They are dangerous too.
