Terror Attack In Barcelona

In a popular tourist site in Barcelona, Spain a van sped into a crowd of tourists and killed at least two.  The driver has apparently fled the scene and is being chased by police.  First reports call this an act of terrorism, just another in the long list of attacks across Europe in the past two years.

It's a good reminder that rather than worrying about what statues are in place in some city in Kentucky, we would all do better to concern ourselves with beating the people who want to kill us all and destroy our nation and the entire Western world.

In other news, CNN has not yet blamed the Barcelona attack on President Trump, but I am looking for the countdown clock the network will inevitably put up to measure the time until they do just that.

UPDATE:  There are now said to be 13 dead.  The attack took place outside a kosher restaurant in Barcelona, so the terrorists may have been hoping to kill Jews.  Two armed men are barricaded inside a bar nearby with hostages although it is not clear that these two include the driver of the van or if the events are related.  It certainly seems likely that they are related, however.
