Reports of 70 dead now.

FT reporting 70 to 100 dead, truck loaded with weapons & grenades: https://next.ft.com/content/aed5110e-4a0c-11e6-b387-64ab0a67014c

The Daily Beast puts the death toll at 80, no confirmed word on identity of the shooter(s).: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/07/14/at-least-30-killed-in-nice-france-truck-rampage.html?via=twitter_page

A good drink.
Did they ask the driver why he did it. To find out his feelings, or if it was a mistake? They say anything is terrorism now, even if you accidentally go out of Froyo (frozen yogurt) without paying because you are distracted, and they say "You can't come back" & call cops if you do. Even 3 weeks later after the manager isn't there who kicked you.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

Has anyone figured out if there's anything connecting these attacks? Any kind of unifying ideology or ethos shared by the attackers?
