Terrorist Attack in Barcelona
Van plows into crowded area in Barcelona; two gunmen apparently holed up in a restaurant.
Linking to the live Reddit thread; this is one of the best ways to consume the various media reports live:

Will be interesting to see whether Trump waits a few days to gather as much information as possible before condemning this as "Islamic terrorism".

Why don't you wait a few days to gather as much information as possible before condemning Trump.
Save this crap for after he says something stupid, or better yet go to his thread.

Where did I condemn Trump? I thought that I was being rather charitable.

Mentioning Trump is this thread, at this moment, is immature.
Speculation on his comments (which you certainly imply are derogatory and racist) are irrelevant at this stage.
Let's leave trump out of at least one GD thread on this site.

Not to mention it probably is...but that really isnt relevant at this point.
Just had a glimpse of some video circulating and it is hard to look at. there are definately going to be some fatalities as i saw a couple that were already gone...bodies all over the place bleeding etc...nasty nasty stuff.

Sadly because it's very easy to do. No need to obtain guns, or bombs, or have to get up close and personal with a knife.
Given how easy it is, some solace can be taken that it isn't more widespread. That demonstrates that there aren't as many murderous bastards out there as some parts of the media, politicians and various fearmongers like to make out.

Terrible news. Barcelona is my favourite city in the world and Las Ramblas is as busy of a street as it gets.

My favorite city too. I walked that stretch from plaça catalunya to the boqueria everyday for a year. Miserable.

So horrible. Seems like many of us have been there and could easily have been in that place at the wrong time.
You just never know when/where this crap will happen.

It's almost like he's incredibly predictable or something...

The era of self-driving cars cannot arrive quickly enough. I know there will always be other means of inflicting harm, but it's just so easy with a big truck or car.
