Terror Attack in Las Ramblas, Barcelona

I was just in Barcelona last May with the Federal Phoenix Insurance group, including my sister and brother in law. Every night we walked along the popular tourist area called Las Ramblas.

Yesterday a white van plowed into the crowd with the intention to maim and kill as many people as possible. It was a terror attack.

It’s sad. More and more bad people are using trucks and automobiles as weapons. I don’t know what to think and I can’t help either. I just feel sad and sorry for all those who died. I can’t imagine how their families feel. Such tremendous pain and grief.

There’s no safe place anymore. I feel paranoid when I sit by the window of a restaurant. I feel paranoid when I am inside any establishment near a road. I feel unsafe walking down streets, anywhere, anyplace. The world is in a bad place right now. Fighting, killings, chaos. It scares me because even in the US right now, they have in-fighting.

I was traumatized after seeing the CCTV footage of the guy who was shot in the head due to a traffic altercation. I was traumatized after seeing the video of the German beheaded by extremists. I was traumatized when I saw the video clip of a woman drowning a new born baby in a pail of water. After that, I no longer open forwarded video clips.

My daughter and I were talking about this the other day. I think it’s easier for people to do bad things than to do good. Some people already have natural streak of bad genes in them, further enabled by the environment, wrong ideologies, influences and beliefs.

Guilt is no longer present in people’s minds and hearts.
Killing humans is becoming ordinary. Why?
