The news from France tonight is grim. At least 70 dead and well over a hundred injured when a truck driver deliberately drove his vehicle into a crowd of people watching fireworks. The driver was then killed by French Police, though we do not know the specifics. Did he try to run down the Police and was shot through the windshield, or did he exit the vehicle with a weapon as some have reported. And of course no information on whether he was white (european) or some other nationality. But the most important fact is he didn't use an assault weapon. This killing that exceeds the Orlando killing by nearly 50% will never be mentioned by those who scream about mass killings in the United States. Because those killings are done by guns, not by a delivery truck. In the end France has probably seen more people killed in mass attacks in the last two years then in the previous 20.
Update: The driver had opened fire on the Police and civilians, and after he was killed, the Police found then other additional weapons and grenades in the truck.
