    Terrible.

    Definitely a terror attack, as there are reports that the police exchanged gunfire with people in the truck.

    Nice is far from Paris. It's right on the border with Italy, in the extreme southeast of the country.

    That part of France (the French Riviera) is also where a lot of French go for summer holiday, which by law is a whole month off. So this might have been planned to specifically hurt French nationals versus tourists.

    Crazy one truck can mow that many people down. They must have been going fast and had a clear lane. I assume late at night so crowd drinking. Bastille day so fireworks I am guessing. Makes the attack harder to spot in time.

    Nice is on the Mediterranean Sea, which is where they set the Bond movie "For Your Eyes Only". It is in France, Europe. It is 100 miles west of Genoa, Italy. Famous for its delicious salami.

    Nice, France, shares a time zone with Venice, Italy; they both belong to the Central European Time Zone, or UTC+01:00. France and Italy are actually different countries, however.

    I pointed out the geography because Paris and non-Paris are two different worlds in France.

    Since other recent French terror attacks have occurred in Paris, I wanted to point out that this was far from Paris, both geographically and culturally.

    You are forgetting that about half of active PFAers are Trump supporters and probably couldn't locate France on an unlabled map of the globe.

    Here. We'll do a test....

    Random Trump Supporter: Without consulting the Internet, or help from a non-Trump supporter or your parents, locate France on this unlabled map:

    (And, please! No help from the audience!)

    P.S. Fans of ginger chicks: You're welcome.

    P.P.S. to Tiny: My inability to handle rejection is so much spurring me on to keep posting here. It's so brutal!... Perhaps if you and your buds here regularly green repped me for the next year or two, I'd be able to recover from this heinous blow to my ego enough to have the emotional fortitude to leave PFA. (Maybe.)

    I'll go the Mumbles route and just link you to an article about it (from a French website): http://www.thelocal.fr/20160512/diff...and-the-french

    When I visited Paris and then traveled through the rest of France, I noticed a lot of these differences myself.
