These are my initial published thoughts on the terrorist attack I and my partner survived and endured 17th August 2017. Related Links: Barcelona Attack : Black Ribbons (again) | Black Ribbons. (March 12th 2004)
Yesterday I received a phone call from my girlfriend, my wife, my partner. She shouted at me at first, "please this is important listen!". She told me that she had been caught up in a stampede of people running from the main artery street "las Ramblas" of Barcelona's old city. She told me she was safe in a Danish bar. She had remembered all the conversations that we had about what to do, should we, as we expected, be in the city when he suffered a typical terrorist attack associated with and claimed by so-called DAESH / ISIS.

Jump To Comment: 3 2 1There is news to add to the news article. The "opinion" is overlap!
hope you well. - ripple of relief spread out on whatsapp and sms this evening as we learn that the terrorist "on the run" was shot to kill among 5 others earlier... we are all carried up on a wave. Relief is compounded by knowin that "what could habe been" is much worse than "what was" despite it being often said it "Could be and if it could it would be las ramblas"......... so meanwhile criticism is laid against not only Spanish but French security services for losing the ball they used to always have in sight, the people of Finland live through a terror attack today. Also low sophistication. a Lone wolf they say.
Thanks for your news report Iosaf. Sorry to hear you both got caught up in this horrible event. please keep us posted! Should I leave both posts up as there is some overlap?
Let me know in a comment. You can just add any further updates as comments.

Today I have spent hours and hours talking to people of all types and walks of life. I have been approached and asked to write for respectable English languages publications. I can not bring myself to. It was here, in this space that I launched my idea for black ribbons. IT is here that I shall blog if that is the expression, my thoughts and news on what has occurred is occurring to us in BCN.
We have not had any response which sees Islamophobia violence or prejudice. This I muse is in contrast to 2004, when in the immediate aftermath of M11 we saw a Basque shopkeeper shot by an off-duty policeman for not putting an anti-ETA poster in his shopwindow, and when the true attribution of authorship was accepted by the Spanish state government, a gang of neo-nazis beat a young Muslim to death in the town of Rubi in Catalonia.
I remember this all so well.
But so far, we have no "revenge" killings.
