Edmo Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Wow. Spain has been largely able to avoid this stuff, and hasn't let in all the immigrants like the other European countries. I'm curious as to who is responsible. Wife and daughter were just there a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and for the most part its difficult to impossible to stop. Won't be long and a coordinated multi vehicle, multi city attack will happen in the US. Every now and then when I'm in crowds easily accessed by vehicles I look around for outlets to safety. College football games are a horribly vulnerable place. Thousands on the streets walking to the games. Many of these stadiums do not have huge parking areas and are right in the middle of the campus. U of I is for sure.

I agree at some point we will see a larger scale attack happen. Plenty of soft targets to choose from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICEMAN! Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Barcelona is a beautiful city. It's cool to walk the streets and see Roman structures built right into the more modern buildings. There's a large section of town that the streets aren't accessible to vehicles because they are so narrow due to being built in ancient times before cars. Sad that this type of thing is happening all over the world. Idiots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for Trump to tweet that there were good people on both sides of this conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 17, 2017 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 17, 2017 The only hope to stop this is from within Islam. 100's of millions of them agree with these kinds of attacks. One has to wonder how little it takes to from there to actually willing to carry it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Interesting to read the different responses from the "Nazi" attack to this one. "What a beautiful city". "Trump just quoted something stupid..." "this is sad". Hmmmm.....no frothing at the mouth here. No, "...hostory has taught us....". Just "sadness". And I have a feeling this wouldn't matter if it happened downtown USA. Meh.....it's all good. There is really only one way to curb this....avoid it by all means. An institutional re-education system and "kindness" won't get this done. If anything, we can learn that much from Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
