8MileBU Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Strange time to choose, around 3pm local time. I know the siesta isn't so prevalent anymore and there would be loads of tourists, but it would be a lot busier in the evening, and the restaurant where the gunmen are supposed to be holed up would likely be near empty. Las Ramblas is a lot busier during the day. Some days there's a market with loads of stalls etc. At night it's a fair bit quieter, mainly because it's notorious for drugs, hookers, pickpockets and muggers after dark.

"Petty terrorist related things that get on your nerves" for this I'll add the person who followed the action with their phone, completely bypassing the girls in the black shorts arse.

I'm more than aware that's how it gets reported. That's not claiming responsibility though. It's claiming inspiration. Again, in the context of IS, that's more than semantics. It is a gauge of the nature of IS, which is constantly in a state of flux. I could go on, but I seem to repeat myself on here a lot. For people who study such things, the wording of these "claims" is highly significant. IS does not claim "credit" for everything. Far from it. It isn't claiming credit for this. Manchester was a different scenario entirely. ETA I'm also not so aloof as not to realise that for most folks, the difference is irrelevant, and quite rightly so.
