I have friends entrenched in their offices, mobiles out of service, sending whatsapp messages to their friends and families. Fuck this. My heart is with bcn.

- The Guardian mentions that the van travelled 500 metres in the pedestrian zone, if I remember what I read correctly. Half a kilometre. Mental. Shocking.Continuity
- I'm just at a loss for words .. cannot understand how some act out on their impulsesRamanisky2
- yeah it's a long distance, and he drove over the pedestrian area, filled with peopleernexbcn
- according to witnesses zigzagging to hit more peopleernexbcn
- Fucking monstersRamanisky2
- It's hardly an impulse, it's a concerted focus on an intended result.detritus
- ^ yes .. I take back the word impulseRamanisky2
- When white Muricans plow their vehicle through crowds...not a terrorist.utopian

- well actually this was on saint george's day where is more crowded but it always has lots of touristsernexbcn
- Then it's a wonder there's 'only' 13 dead.
Every fucking pedestrian mall in Europe's going to have concrete blocks placed at ends, aren't they? f'ing trrrstsdetritus - its a miracle there's ''only'' 13 dead, i agree with detritusBennn

It seems the guy from the photo above isn't one of the terrorists, he showed up at a police station denouncing his passport was stolen. But the picture was distributed by the police earlier today.

I went to a friday prayer in Barcelona when we were visiting the city 2 years ago. I had found this mosque in an apartment on a street off of Rambla by asking some local shopowners.
As I entered I was really surprised with the diversity of the congregation. African, Pakistani/Afghan, Saudi looking men. Not a group of people that you see often in Turkey.
They looked at me like they were surprised with my look, I remember I felt a bit embarassed, I was wearing a hawaii shirt, shorts and sunglasses looking just like a tourist.Anyways it wasn't a nice mosque at all, dirty, hot and it smelled. I just did my obligatory prayer and left there in 5 minutes.
Now I don't understand why some Daesh sympathiser would do such a thing in Spain? Why Spain? Taking the revenge of Muslim expulsion in 1600?
Also the method? When you drive a car into a crowd, "as a muslim terrorist", you must think, is there any muslim in the crowd? Even according to his perplexed view of Islam he might have committed the biggest sin by killing or injuring a muslim.
As a normal muslim, killing one innocent person, regardless of religion, is equal to killing all humanity, this is the law.So I really want to know one of these men, ask them, wtf you were thinking? Do you help muslims or do you destroy them? Do you care about anybody else in this world, or do you think the God has given you a direct message about not to care about anybody.
No sane person, no muslim can do such a thing. Not even with a terrorist mind.
- it's not muslims dude, it's daesh.uan
- "a hawaii shirt, shorts and sunglasses "
dude... ;)lowimpakt - well, given the amount of muslim victims at the hand of isil, i don't think those committing the acts of violence are thinking about their victims at all.jaylarson
- the louder the better :(jaylarson
- they have stated multiple times they want to reconquer Spainernexbcn
- They brainwashed themselves on the webBennn
- These people do such things because they believe a higher power either demands it, wills it or supports it. Earthly conisquences don't deter them._niko
- They have no respect for life on earth not their own and certainly not anyone else's. Why would they? they think eternal happiness and bliss and virgins await_niko

- yep, the same scenario again and again and again... the facebook badges and all.Bennn
- Here we go again. Ridiculing people for showing sympathy. Get over yourselves.monospaced
- It's not sympathy but a bullshit attempt at EMPATHY often used to draw attention to the person w/the badge on their social media and not the actual crisis.PonyBoy
- My gut tells me that anyone w/actual 'sympathy' to offer (who has experienced terrorism upfront) wouldn't fuck around about it on social mediaPonyBoy
- ^ yepset
- haha. nicedeathboy
- I hear ya. I don't do the social medi thing anyway, it just doesn't bother me like it seems to trigger you. ;)monospaced
- The people I know who do it aren't attention seekers ... at least that's not how I view them. I see the positive side of it, I suppose.monospaced
- people like set are so cynical and "dead inside" that those who show empathy must be attention seekers or blind sheep. Sad.fadein11
- oh you twomonospaced
- I just find it highly strange to be triggered by others showing of empathy for a tragedy. Who fucking cares.fadein11
- I think mono and fade just got 'triggered' by a cartoon they don't agree with...
*runs :DPonyBoy - I hear ya. It's the same as internet outrage. Impotent and not deserving of any real respect.cannonball1978

Explosion linked to terror attack
"An explosion which left one person dead at a house in a Spanish coastal town has been linked to the Barcelona terror attack, police chief Josep Lluís Trapero told a news conference.
Seven people were injured in the blast, which completely destroyed the house in Alcanar, about 126 miles (202km) south of the city, late on Wednesday night.
According to Spanish newspaper El Pais, bottles filled with propane and butane were found at the site."

Jihadists have declared war on Europe (and the western world).
These are not terrorist attacks; these are battles.
This is war.
- eh, we've been at war for quite a long time. e.g. Spanish military are currently involved in 20 conflicts mainly around Middle east and africa.lowimpakt
- where have you been?fadein11
- right,but in the public eye and in the collective consiousness of the general public, this is not not perceived as WAR, but instead isolated "terrorist attacks"chukkaphob
- I agree, for some people definitely. for others, we're well aware of spillover effects of the wars that our governments bring us into.lowimpakt
