The daily car ramming.

It's "Breaking News" (for real this time) , so I'll update this post when more information is available.
A van has ploughed into crowds on the Ramblas tourist area in Barcelona.

Spanish police say several people have been injured in a "massive crash".

The emergency services are urging people to stay away from the area around Placa Catalunya.

Update1:
Reports from the scene say people are taking cover in nearby shops and cafes.
Reuters news agency reports that emergency services have requested the closure of local metro and train stations.

Marc Esparcia, a 20-year-old student who lives in Barcelona, told the BBC: "There was a loud noise and everybody ran for cover. There were a lot people, lots of families [at the site], this is one of the most visited sites in Barcelona. "I think several people were hit. It was horrible, there was panic. Terrible." He said he was now taking cover inside a Starbucks coffee shop.

Update4: A second attack was stopped
Spanish police say they have killed several people in Cambrils to stop what they say was a second attempted attack after a car attack in Barcelona.

Police warned people to stay off the streets, with shots reported in the port of Cambrils.

Thirteen people died and dozens were injured when a van ploughed into crowds in Barcelona's Las Ramblas area on Thursday afternoon.

Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said it was a "jihadist attack".

Damn hipsters. Someone drives a car into a crowd and suddenly everyone starts doing it. This is why I stopped wearing flannel in the 90s.
 
We must find this person and immediately condemn their entire ideology, a refusal to means you endorse supremacy and murder
 
Can we condemn the actions without attacking one side or the other? It's is despicable when someone from the right does it and it's despicable when someone on the left does it.

The goal is too address the behavior that leads to these actions
 
there are some graphic images, looks like a bunch of people are seriously injured, damn :confused:

Islamophobic bigot!
 
Van attack could be a decoy of sorts to get all the police to that area.

The driver fled, usually these have been suicide missions lately and the driver would get out and continue to attack.
 
Wtf man, shit is getting crazier by the day. Hopefully nobody dies except the driver.
 
Its been 10 minutes and no one has denounced this. Bunch of terrorist sympathizers out there!

People on twitter talk about armed men, possible hostages etc and name legit sources but I can't find any information confirmed by those sources
 
Car attacks outside of America? Terrorists.


Car attacks inside America? Can't judge an entire group based on one persons actions.




Did I do it right?
