Barcelona Van attack, 13 Dead 50+ Injured

[Arik]

Why are the body counts higher for this overseas? Are the vans driving faster, larger vehicles used? Is it that there are a lot more street side cafes with a lot of people packed together?

No scientific data here but typically European cities are much older and streets narrower. If you come to my city, which was founded in 1682 you'll see some of the old original streets and you can't get a Tahoe down the street without scraping one side or the other

I went to Italy once and the streets were very narrow. Some towns had streets so narrow you couldn't take vehicles into them. I imagine Spain would be the same.

No one has claimed any responsibility and there are not reports of who these attackers were. But it definitely looks familiar

And, of course, ISIS will claim responsibility whether they had anything to with it or not.

wish these people who are just upset and falsely use islam or terrorism as an excuse to hurt others would just get a hug and all would be OK

maybe we should invite more of them so they do not feel so isolated from their culture that would help! yeah that is the answer

They have less cushioning than we do.

Vacation time over there. The people I know in Barcelona are actually elsewhere. Wife doesn't want me travelling to EU for business. We are doing Chicago for Thanksgiving....

Probably a lot of families and tourists. What a shame.

I'm surprised that the vacuum inside his head hadn't caused an implosion yet.

He knows it's not a copy cat attack of Charlottesville. He knows there have been numerous car-born terror attacks in Europe over the past few years. He ALSO knows the majority of viewers watching CNN this week most likely DON'T and I repeat DON'T know this, or have already forgotten. He's making a talking point, he wants people to somehow associate all forms of terror with white nationalist here in the US.
