Freedomain Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 As France was celebrating Bastille Day – a holiday which signifies the storming of the Bastille prison during the French Revolution of 1789 – keys were placed into the ignition of a large truck which would soon be turned into a murder weapon. As people watched fireworks during celebrations in the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France – a large truck smashed through crowd of men, women and children, killing eighty people and injuring at least a hundred more.

A4E Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Don't mean to step on the bodies, but a bit of obvious hindsight now is that they should definitely set up truck free zones. 1
shirgall Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Don't mean to step on the bodies, but a bit of obvious hindsight now is that they should definitely set up truck free zones. They're called "sidewalks," and this guy ignored them. They should increase the sentence. That will deter copycats! 2
