BALTIMORE, Maryland, Thursday, July 14, 2016 (Bastille Day) - The Butchers have struck again.
At least 73 are dead in Nice, France when a large mega-sized truck plowed through a large crowd in the streets of Nice, France, leaving an astonishing path of death and destruction. The death toll is expected to rise.
Although ISIS has not claimed responsibility as yet, few doubt that the Islamic Extremists are behind the inhuman attack and carnage. It has all of their earmarks: an attack designed to kill the maximum number of people. Another 100 people, and probably more, are injured.
The attack occurred at about midnight in Nice, a short time after the annual fireworks celebration ended. According to the Telegraph in London, and their reporter, David Chazan, "A gunman reportedly got out of the lorry(truck) and fired into the crowd on the seafront Promenade des Anglais, an area popular with tourists in the Riviera resort, leaving dead and injured people lying in the street.
He was shot dead by police but there were reports that an accomplice had fled and that guns and grenades were found in the lorry.
The local Prefecture described the slaughter as a “terrorist attack” but an interior ministry spokesman, Pierre-Henry Brandet, said it was too early to be certain of the killers’ motives.
In New York last night, Donald Trump, the Republican's Presumptive Presidential Nominee, sounded angry when he told Fox reporter Greta van Susteran that the United States posture on terrorism was "weak and ineffective," and would continue to instigate terror attacks. He told van Susteran that he was postponing his announcement of a running mate as the world attempted to deal with the coming aftermath. John Bolton, the former United States Ambassador to the United Nations, told van Susteran that he totally agreed with Trump's statements and he, too, urged a concentrated military response against ISIS. The purpose of every step taken by the West must be to keep persons who are willing to commit terror out.
