The official story is that this was not an attempted terrorist attack

by Tommy Monk Tue Feb 21, 2017 7:41 pm

Spanish police used gunfire in an attempt to stop the driver of a stolen truck laden with household gas canisters who was heading in the wrong direction near the city centre on Barcelona’s main ring road.

Police shot at the lorry’s windscreen after a high-speed chase during which some of the gas containers had fallen off the trailer, with one person reported injured by a falling canister.

In total the police said they fired seven times at the lorry, as well as warning shots in the air, but the driver did not stop. At one point, a policeman had to jump out of the way.

They say the man is a 'Swedish national'... I wonder if he is of Swedish ethnicity... or whether he is a Muslim immigrants to Sweden with Swedish citizenship...?

Well you can't tell now. When they say Swedish you expect a white man, but they call ethics that now, if they settle in their country and don't say Muslim immigrant.

Spain's Interior Minister, Juan Ignacio Zoido said this morning that it was 'not a terrorist act' adding that the arrested man has 'a psychiatric history'. He was not carrying any form of weapon, the police said.

I think it's the fact that you jump the gun and assume, Tommy. It's not helpful to your cause is it?

Could it be a photo-------------of Andy?

He does look angry.

Andy also made an assumption, based on the man's appearance.

MORE likely that's Tommy's little brother...

That's why Tommy's gone quiet -- had to go and arrange for legal help and possible bail, when he realised who it was.. Razz

Nice to see the gang run in to call racist. Nothing in the post was racist. The word racist is always brought out to try to make a point, it's laughable.

Nope, afraid not, magica...

The word "racist" is used on here to label certain individuals with known racist inclinations..

It's simply being honest -- "calling a spade a spade !".

I thought the R/W extremists on here were all for "free speech" and anti-"p/c" -- but it seems that when they don't like the truth being pointed out to them, then they're the first go all "p/c" and attempt to shut people up !!!
