This is sad that it happened. But it also proves that we need to be aware of what is going on around us. It also shows that a person wanting to kill people will find any means available and not necessary use a gun, knife or bomb.
The time for peace is here and we need to find a way to talk to each other in a way to solve this violence. Working together with everyone we can come up with a means to weed out these people and make sure they do not harm anyone.
The sad thing about this is many of the injured in hospital are children. While its is terrible that this is happening in France it happens everyday to children all over the world in war zones and they are not as highlighted. It stands out in France because France is not supposed to be a war zone, at least its not supposed to be.
