They're just slower to pick up the latest news, for obvious reasons. Although Shep Smith and others will monitor Twitter and hint at developments before they're confirmed a lot of the time.

Dear bozo, whites speak out against such terror. Very few muslims speak against those atrocities. Stop acting like a little brat.

Festive environment, lots of noise, crowded streets. It's quite possible you don't know what the commotion is about until it's right on top of you.

Not sure about here, but it's not hard to see how Nice or similar happens. Often, and maybe here, it's along a street and someone jumps a curb. Next time you're in a city like that and pay attention to traffic nearby, it'll be apparent just how easy it would be to do that.

I mean, this is just false.


You realize the left uses your same tactic right?. The left is saying conservative whites did not speak out against the terror attacks in VA


Both sides of the isle are lying thieving POS

I took this picture in December of 2015 while in Madrid. They sure seemed proud to strap this sign up on their country's capitol building. I'm glad to see countries put political correctness before the safety of their people. At least the families of the dead and injured can rest easy tonight knowing this sign is up.

This stuff terrifies me and makes me hesitant to go anywhere with my family. Cars being used as weapons. Can't really guard yourself against that except stay away from roads or just stay inside.

Doesn't matter if you can see it if you're in a crowd and physically cannot move as fast as you want to.

Ever been walking in a crowded area with traffic going by? Is it hard to imagine, with how fast they are travelling, that in a split second one of them can veer off and plow into you and you wouldn't have enough time to "oh shite".

You have to live your life. The fact is, if someone wants you dead you pretty much have no chance.

Your waiter can easily poison you.

Someone can walk up to your bathroom window while you are taking a shite and put one right between your eyes

Etc etc

I disagree.

Most people walk around with no idea of what is going on around them. Situational awareness goes a long way.
