    Agreed so far.. Very sad indeed...
    Should it be distinguished though?
    I.E Terrorist attack effects hundreds if not thousands, regardless of what pop concerts/film/sport event you happened to attend when terror strikes.....??

    I believe, it just happens where the opportunity to inflict the most damage exists - regardless of security present....
    Any where there is a large congregation of people, it will always be vulnerable , the higher % of destruction; The higher the potential success rate the better..... surely...?

    Yes its a terror related act and I'm not taking anything away from those involved nor am I condoning or victim blaming.....
    I'm simply saying those people involved were simply doomed...........regardless if they happened to be riding a bike at the time or happened to be walking down the street....?
    rest in peace

    Nearly all the 'sidewalks' in NY are now protected by concrete emplacements which may be why he chose a cycle path as a way of getting at vulnerable people.

    On same token.... Yes I understand, it's same as the gun law debate in USA ... People kill people not guns... per-say.... its the culture .... if not terror related.

    It's the manor of use/intent,,,,,
