Notice the response from the Media there: (paraphrasing) "We don't know who's responsible; we can't say, and we shouldn't jump to any conclusions until the facts are known." Gee, sounds a lot like the Media here prior to the Trump presidency, and also like Barack H. Obama.

But now, we do jump to conclusions, and even blame the President himself!

Default Barcelona is Burka Center

No Burka's in your photo's. Try a Chador, A few Sarees and a few Hijabs.

Why is it in events of this kind that one is advised not to jump to conclusions, but in almost all cases, the conclusion that most of us are told not to jump to is in fact the one that turns out to be correct?

The terror-tactic of using vehicles is awful, deadly and almost impossible to stop.

I really do not know what, if anything, can be done to stop something like this recent attack.

As a topper, Spain has had a very large influx of migrants......some of them up to no good.

Watching the news this morning, and seeing dead bodies on the street made me really depressed and angry. I have a sister and two nephews in Barcelona. If this happened to any of them I would never get over it! I feel sad for all of the people who were affected by this tragedy, and I hope the POS who did this gets what he deserves.
