Remember your talking points, folks. This has nothing has nothing whatsover to do with Islam, despite what your lying eyes and cheatin’ ears may tell you.
Make sure to bear in mind, mental illness is a terrible, tragic thing, and we need more government programs to address this plague on society!
Liatris Spicata, it has absolutely everything to do with Islam! ISIS has everything to do with this!! The authorities had intel weeks ago that ISIS was planning an attack in Barcelona. The mental illness is from people like you who ignore the obvious!!
Please note my reply was sarcastic. ISLAM is what motivates Muslims to do this.
Clearly Spain needs the “love drug” to be more receptive to Muslim terrorists. The motive is feeling unloved. Muslims are just tolerant peaceful people looking for work and a better way of life. The native xenophobia drove them to this. It has NOTHING whatsoever to deal with Islam. Sarcasm off.
It was caused by that WHITE naked lady statue in the pond. obama’s Antifa NAZIS and BLM commie NAZIS just couldn’t stand it any longer, so they got their moHOGmad demon comrades to try to destroy it but they missed and just MURDERED people of the BOOK instead..
God. This is my favourite city. How will this madness stop? I do not see it with this mass immigration of Muslims.
Why hasn’t Trump commented yet? He needs to say he disavows Islam and Mohemmed; no wait, who gets to commit justifiable violence? This PC stuff is so confusing. Maybe he needs to disavow himself now….
This has nothing to do with David Cameron.

Doing “exactly what this book says” (Lt-Col. Allen West).
As of this writing, an individual went into a Barcelona police station saying he is the real Dris Ockerberg (sp) and he says that someone stole his van and documentation, I think. Developing….
Dris Okerbeer speculates that his documents were stolen by his younger brother with the name of Moussa (sp). Fox news’s Sheperd Smith is doing the reporting (groan). Developing….
It will never stop the list keeps getting longer. Yet those who have the power to halt this invasion allow them to pour in by the thousands , when we yell stop they yell islamphobia!
All these innocent people dead by the religion of peace.
Isis are cowards who target the innocent, just like their filthy worthless prophet Mohammad. We will continue to hunt them down and send them to hell to join him.
Time to get out the:
tears
teddy bears
flowers and
candles.
When done repeat for next time.
Is the motive mysterious too?
Remember what you will see and in the next few hours, days weeks months again. The left wing socially engineered program repeat after me media and politicans begin,…. islam is a religion of peace, islam has nothing to do with islam. We can not jump to conclusion ever if the attack has an islamic name says he did it in the name of islam. And it all white peoples fault and and it all to do with white supremacy. Remember how quick the media are to jump on the white supremacy label but when it comes to islam it a free pass by them. lying scum
Nothing to see here, Folks, move along!! This is the work of ‘Mentally Unstable’ individuals. Nothing to do with Islam, nothing to do with the Hordes of Muslim Invaders taking over Europe, nothing to do with importing a Culture INTENT on destroying the West!! And if you disagree, YOU are an Islamophobic Racist!! Must be Trumps Fault!!
And if you speak the TRUTH and present FACTS, you get booted of FB!!!
You have the Left in control. Your epitaph will read. These people here left their G*d and were DESTROYED by invaders.
What video, candles burning? Why not show the balloons and teddy bears too?
We aren’t snowflakes! Show clear images.
