and today the perp is claiming it was DELIBERATE
makes it an attack, don't it?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Look, I've seen enough of conspiratorial bullshit to know a fucking dog whistle when I see it. You damn well intended to hint at it being some organized attack, like the last several truck terrorist attacks in Europe which were demonstrably linked to IS. But there is not here.
I see it for what it is - shit that has always been in the United States. I remember the last "I want to kill everyone because I'm in a rage" attack at Venice beach. So pardon me for being rather ticked off at a sound of dog whistle despite the vast majority of our attacks are homegrown assholes and nothing's ever going to change that. Every day is a damn disappointing joke.

They weren't very organised, just random loons hauling off and getting lucky (especially Nice) due to very lax policing at public events.

Someone using the word attack doesn't mean Islamic terrorist attack.
I just watched the video footage of the car, it's fairly obviously not an accident like some old man with sight difficulties.
There wouldn't be anything wrong in questioning or thinking this could have been an Islamic terrorist attack, it happens. It's happened in New York before, this method has been used before. Everyone was thinking it was possible, it's obviously the first thing the police suspected.
From what I've read he did this deliberately, he wanted to kill people then be killed, he took PCP and said he heard voices and he did it for god. But again according to what I've read he was more interested in scientology than Islam, and it was probably the god of PCP that he was doing it for.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
