Watched a video of people running and it appear many were texting as they were running and it was obviously slowing them down. Forget texting, run like hell you dumb ass!

I just saw on the news that the truck had explosives in the back as well. Apparently not an accident. The situation could have been even worse.

Truck was 'loaded with guns and grenades'
Posted at 19:31

Christian Estrosi, president of the region, has been quoted as saying the truck used in Nice was found loaded with guns and grenades.

Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet told BFM TV: "It's going to be a very high toll."

He said no hostages had been taken and the driver of the lorry had been "neutralised", adding that authorities were investigating if he acted alone.

Reading that was fireworks truck that caught fire. They're saying it was an accident and not connected in any way to an attack.

An "Assault style Semi-truck" has been used in France on Bastille Day to kill many people. We The People must do everything to stop this. No point in banning guns, when terrorists can use the evil assault style semi-trucks to kill more innocent people! Therefore, I am creating this petition to aware everyone including Congress and the President to do everything in their power to get those evil looking Semi-trucks off of our communities. Let's ban them now before innocent people in the United States start dying.

It is just as bad but, trying to talk common sense to Obama doesn't work. If he gets the signatures he might at least get a you all suck thought in Obamas mind. It would be the only recognition the other side will ever receive from him.

Anyone who would take the petition seriously and get their panties tied up in a knot over it had that notion cemented in their brain long ago.

No one will take it seriously. Because it isn't a serious proposal. And that's my point.

This is serious business, and we're treating it like it's a game. We chortle about those stupid "libtards" who call magazines "clips"...who don't know what assault rifles and barrel shrouds are.

We need to spend much less time getting into childish spats with those who are as firm in their opinions as we are in ours and spend more time thinking about the *majority* of Americans who can be swayed to one side or the other.

We need to act like adults, or we *will* lose.
