the weird thing is that they found some heavy weaponry in that truck... this i heard from the news
could it be that he couldnt find time to setup those weapons in time and rushed in with a truck?Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none; be able for thine enemy rather in power than use; and keep thy friend under thine own life's key; be checked for silence, but never taxed for speech.Comment

It will be 72 hours or so before speculation gives way to more factual reporting. In the interim some sources are reporting that 'fake' weapons were found in the truck and some are reporting that they were 'real'. All we can say at this time is that so far there appears to be no evidence of other assailants being involved. That being the case (and to the extent it matters) it makes no sense for the individual concerned to have had more weapons in the vehicle than he could have reasonably expected to use himself - if that is he was acting as part of a network. Why waste the armaments? Unfortunately the nature of the attack also lends itself to a 'lone wolf' scenario, so it will not be obvious for a while if others were involved.Originally posted by Big K View Post
At this point everything is speculation until such time as the French authorities have gone through his recent background in forensic detail, a process which is underway.Last edited by Monash; 15 Jul 16,, 13:29.If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.Comment

Unfortunately, attacks with common objects or equipment can only be discouraged with security measures. There are just too many potential soft targets for someone determined to do damage to prevent them entirely.
Changes in what is socially acceptable among different cultural groups is the best way to reduce these sorts of incidents in my opinion. As long as desperate men believe they can find notoriety and perhaps salvation rather than condemnation from the people they care about when performing these kind of acts, I think they will continue.Comment

Damn, early reports prove exaggerated again. I had seen from several sites and the article posted earlier that there were "heavy weapons" rifles and explosives on the truck. If that were the case the terrorist would have to have considerable logistic support and prior planning, which meant he was possibly catchable.Originally posted by S2 View Post

The past conviction apparently wasn't even over a gun - it was a fistfight after a car crash in which he beat his opponent with a slat from a wood pallet and was hence convicted for using a weapon in a minor case (he got six months on probation).Originally posted by citanon View Post
In french media he's described as a loner who worked as a deliveryman driving small trucks, who never went to mosque, was known to get drunk and possibly smoke marihuana, had an ex-wife living separately with their children, and who was considered mostly unfriendly and rude by his neighbors. He had a couple convictions for threatening other people or beating them over the past six years, possibly including his then wife.Comment
