Oh man, what a shit year 2016 is for the arts. Corrado Farina, director of seriously obscure gialli "Hanno cambiato faccia" and the essential adaptation of the comics of Guido Crepax, "Baba Yaga".

RIP

My thoughts for people in Nice. Wonderful city. 

[Professor Bear]

This fucking year.

[ZenArcade]

As above: sympathies to the citizens of Nice. Vive la Republic; vive la France! Z

Just appalling, a Stephen King novel come to life. Nice is a great holiday town, la quatorze Juillet a great family festival,  can't even grasp how horrific this is.

[Hawkmumbler]

Jesus! On bastille day no less! Horrid, this rotting world.

I've spent a fair bit of time in Nice and it's always been one of my favourite places and I'm beyond horrified. Fucking cowards.

Horrible.  Fuck ISIS and their followers.

And please, people, do me a favour:  I know the Baghdad bombings killed more people.  I know it was worse.  I can't help being more psychologically affected by this catastrophe:  It's closer to home; and I know far more French people than Iraqis.

Horrible.  Fuck ISIS and their followers.

There is currently no link between radical Islam and the perpetrator.

The harrowing incident appears at this point still to be completely random. Neighbours and officials have said he has "no known links" but what bothers me is that everyone has made a huge assumption that he's radicalised simply because he's called Mohamed. I was on a building site today and the builder's were all like "they're at it again". There's something deeply troubling about this whole episode, not just the grim facts of it all, but the assumptions too. Leapt to not just by yourself Jayzus but by officials and individuals worldwide. Where are we going...

Terrible, shocking news.

Apologies.  I'd read an article online saying that he was probably following an ISIS recommendation (if not quite an order); and a connection to ISIS just seemed the logical conclusion after Paris last year.

Point taken, though - should have looked into it a bit more before jumping to conclusions.
