'Tell my children I love them': the victims of the Nice, church attack
The Guardian ^ | Oct 30, 2020 | Kim Willshire

Victims of the Nice terror attack include a father of two who had worked at the Notre-Dame basilica welcoming worshippers and a mother of three from Brazil who had lived in France for decades.

Vincent Loqués, 55, had his throat cut by the alleged attacker – named as 21-year-old Brahim Aouissaoui - and his body was found inside the church.

Loqués was a devout Catholic and had been sexton at the basilica where he prepared the sacraments and altar for the mass for 10 years. His role was also to welcome visitors and worshippers to the basilica when it opened at 8.30am.

Brazilian media named another victim as mother of three Simone Barreto Silva. Silva was stabbed several times inside the basilica.

Severely injured, she managed to flee the building before collapsing in a nearby bar. She told those who were treating her: “Tell my children I love them” before dying at the scene.

The third victim has not been named. She was a 60-year-old woman who had gone to the Notre-Dame basilica early Thursday morning to pray when she was brutally attacked inside the church. Police sources said she had her throat deeply cut and the killer appeared “determined to decapitate her”.

Doesn’t say whether the music attacker is dead or alive.
If he’s alive, give him the firing squad.
These terrorists are enemy combatants and don’t belong in the court system.

Why the ‘alleged’? Is there any doubt?

Prayers for the victims and their families - especially the young children of the mother. May God’s grace flow down upon them.

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.

They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?”

Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.

“Tell my children I love them”

Also, nearly the last words of pilot Russel Casse.

Amen. Especially worth contemplating on this Hallows Eve of All Saints.

This Sunday's reading for All Saints Day is from the 7th chapter of Revelation.

“These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb.”

I saw Macron today spout the same PC nonsense as usual about the attacker’s motives. Same pablum about how they hate that we are free, and hate our values, blah, blah, blah.... That’s not it.

They hate us and want to kill us because we are not Muslim. Simple as that. And every Muslim is ordered by their “faith” to do this. And as for the old George Bush idiocy about how “a few people have hijacked a peaceful religion”, the reality is the more devout the Muslim, the more likely they are to be violent and murderous. Far from outliers who have hijacked Islam, they are the followers of true Islam.

The biggest mistake we made after 9/11 was not destroying their WILL to fight. Instead of worrying about “proportional” responses, and trying to micromanage wars that, absent Trump, would have likely never ended, we should have utterly obliterated those responsible, along with any involved in supporting them, and even their families, and then come home. Then, we should have warned the leaders of any country that was harboring or supporting muslim terrorists that if we were ever attacked again, we would not try to figure out who did it, but would instead obliterate the countries who had enabled them. Put the fear of God in the leaders who were looking the other way, and let them sort it out, because they certainly know exactly who these people are and where they hide out.

The price for attacking Americans should always be so unimaginably high that no one will consider doing it for a second. And we should always hold at risk the governments that permit these vermin to plan and plot within their borders.

Muslims are the enemy, folks, not just jihadi muslims. The entire muslim world stays silent when events like this occur and most notably, the entire muslim population of france stays silent.

They all agree that the murder of any Christian is a good thing.

His role was to welcome visitors.

I am the greeter at my local church.

I welcome everybody.

I have a Ruger SR1911 in 45acp under my suit coat.

To bad this greeter could not have the same right to protect himself and guests.

Make sure the bullets the firing squad uses are dipped in pigs blood first. And make sure the Muslim sees you dipping the bullets in pigs blood.
