Man I hope they get the form scripts mixed up and start telling us how whites are a people of peace and this doesn't represent all whites. Then they tell us about the insidious hatred from Muslims that's permeating our country

Sauce? A guy on Reddit.

Spanish here, from Barcelona. Let me add more info:

*The incident has been in the fricking center of the city, in the most crowded place: las Ramblas in front of the Fnac, there's a red light while crossing a van runs over dozens of people leaving a lot of them injured, police are over the place and tell shops to close with all people inside. The van crushed in front of a kiosk and the man ran away.

*It's in catalan but this is the live stream from the local tv LINK

*2 armed in a bar "LUNA DE ISTANBUL" with hostages police already in negotiations. Police say there's no attackers inside. Video shows otherwise.

*Spanish media confirms this is a terrorist attack.

*Police attempting to find the terrorist, video from the Raval (zone next to the Ramblas): LINK

*2 white vans were rented from same people news said, trying to find the second before anything bad happen.

Second van founded in VIC, (city near barcelona), media confirms

Both videos removed but:

*video shows one person getting arrested while another shouts that he has weapons in his bag. LINK while it lasts *another video showing policeman getting shot. *police say the attacker is from french nationality and lived in the frontier between catalunya and france.

*more than 20 deaths so far (spanish newspaper source) // 2 armed inside a shop // PLEASE THIS IS A [NMS] video !! so be aware before opening it LINK

*videos getting down cause police&media says it's not recommended to share it, keeping it very serious want to show respect to the victims

*MAX DIFUSION: this is the man that supposedly attacked: LINK THIS IS DRISS OUKABIR, police said he already had been arrested before, was living in Ripollet recently

*RUMOUR not in media yet! Police lost 3 armed people in the center could appear anywhere so it's recommended to stay safe and not appear near the center. Please for god sake stay safe.

*ROMOUR 2 shots fired in LA BOQUERIA market in la rambla, no video yet, says people screaming and police got shot too there, they said its dead

*video from a guy saying a police has been shot, blood over the street LINK Man who shot already arrested. There's a photo, but got down fast LINK

*HOSTAGES BEING FREED: LINK

*3 policmen hit by a car right now

*RUMOUR 3 lots of shots heard in Diagonal Mar.

*another arrested: LINK Photo LINK

*been an hour no news, right now a lot of police moved to Plaça Universitat with weapons, a lot of people running from there

*man that hit policemen with the car dead by shots

*4h later situation is getting more relaxed, friend said 5 bodies are still in Rambla covered with mantels.

*Carles Puigdemont (Generalitat's president) talking right now said sth about 90 victims 13 dead but this number is just provisional

*CNP just posted an Alert 5 state, this is: avoid if possible crowded places, public transport, etc. Keep safe please

*ISIS confirmed LINK

This is the actual lede from the updated AP/Yahoo news article:

quote:

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — A white van jumped up onto a sidewalk and sped down a pedestrian zone Thursday in Barcelona's historic Las Ramblas district, swerving from side to side as it plowed into tourists and residents. Authorities said 12 people were killed and 80 were wounded, 15 of them seriously, in what they called a terror attack.

The afternoon attack in the northeastern Spanish city was the country's deadliest since 2004, when al-Qaida-inspired bombers killed 192 people in coordinated attacks on Madrid's commuter trains.

I guess I'm missing something, but I've been out of this thread for a bit. Why is that so funny?

You've got to love how the media initially states these types of situations. Reading this, you would assume the van started itself and decided to just mow down some folks.

I mean, they called it a terrorist attack, implying terrorist were involved. If you're saying they are implying the "white" van acted alone....................ok.

No they are trying to influence how you think and feel about these events.

I mean, I agree MSM has been shaky, but this is some textbook reaching here.

Wolf trying to make connections between Barcelona and Charlottesville is something an anchor shouldn't do.

Read it like you're 8 years old. Envision what the article is describing. Give the car animation, and facial expressions as it's carrying out this heinous attack.

Giving his family history re: the Holocaust on Tuesday afternoon after Trump's press conference was similarly bad and shameful.
