Support NeoGAF

[The Lamonster]

This makes me sick. Hope it ends soon

 

[Ol No Bones]

Muslims better stay in their homes for a while, it's not going to be safe for them.

Its not safe for anyone right now.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Terrible, and the worst part is that is going to spread the hate for all muslims in Europe. Vicious circle.

I feel they don't really speak out, or condemn it as much. Or they just don't get a spotlight to do so. Or they're afraid.

 

[Dartastic]

Please don't be Muslims, please don't be Muslims, please don't be Muslims.

Sadly, I'm not going to be surprised if it is.

This is awful.

 

[Big Green Anus]

Why is this happening in France? France has been good in letting in people for immigration, right?

 

[Real Hero]

I don't get the 'please don't be muslims' reaction. It doesn't really make a difference the dead who murdered them

 

[RangerX]

If this is an Islamist terrorist attack firstly the families of the victims should have all the necessary resources to help them cope. My heart goes out to them. Then we here in Europe have to make sure that we stand in solidarity with Muslims as the right will demonize them even further. They are our best chance of defeating this ideology. Decent honorable muslims must fight these ideas with the rest of us by their side. It'll probably take decades.

 

[7threst]

weird and lucky the suicide vests went off outside and apprently killed " only " one person and injured others... Imagine if they blew op in the packed crowed in the subway under the stadium : /

Wait, suicide vests? I'm confused, I thought I heard it was grenades on the news.

 

[daviyoung]

for fuck's sake

 

[Herb Alpert]

coordinate yes and perfect timing.

Only " fail " is the suicide vest, going off outside the empty staidum... if 30 minutes later ... SMH

OMG you're right. What could have happen if the bomb had blown up during the game...

 

[Lender]

Any (french) livestreams available by chance?

 

[robinsxe]

Hope ParisGAF is ok. terrible tragedy, fingers crossed the deathtoll isnt raised. RIP

 

[Mecha]

I really hope not, this death count needs to stop rising.

[cartoon_soldier]

What the fuck

 

[Haunted Tank]

Eagles of Death Metal were playing at Bataclan?

Holy shit. RIP.

 

[Team Alucard]

That's the worst part? I would say the worst part is dozens of innocent people being murdered.

Yep. If your first reaction to hearing this news is "oh shit this is gonna lead to muslim persecution" instead of "its horrifying that dozens of people are dead", then your priorities are messed up.

 

[Slayer-33]

40 dead according to BFMTV

Massive attack, shit was definitely planned imo

 

[Kinyou]

Wait, suicide vests? I'm confused, I thought I heard it was grenades on the news.

Assumption seems to be that there was a suicide attack. But as always not much really confirmed right now.

 

[Blader]

Holy shit, this really escalated

 

[Switch Back 9]

Telegraph is saying one of the gunmen shouted "Allah Akbar" before he started shooting.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

The numbers will be fluid for a while.

 

[Bry0]

Wait, suicide vests? I'm confused, I thought I heard it was grenades on the news.

Lots of rumor and speculation floating about right now. It will probably take a few more hours or more before we get a clear picture.

 

[PhaZZe]

what a sad day, stay strong paris

 

[SenkiDala]

Why is this happening in France? France has been good in letting in people for immigration, right?

Yes but recently our Government sent our army to fight ISIS is Syria, so... We launched airstrikes again ISIS, so I guess that it doesn't make them happy.

 

[tomtom94]

Are you suggesting that this is staged by the government, or the "new order". Seriously? Seriously?

Preeeetty sure that's not even close to what he was saying, merely pointing out that this attack seems to have been meticulously planned in its timing.

 

[Machina]

This is gonna go past 100, I'm very concerned for those people in the Bataclan

 

[timetokill]

Man the death count just keeps climbing. I fear it's going to be a while before it tops out.

 

[FZZ]

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/

Apparently one of them shouted "Allah Akbar" before he opened fire.

If he shouted that then he isn't a muslim

If it was "Allahu Akbar" then yeah he might be

 

[UnluckyKate]

40 dead according to BFMTV

will get higher as time come sadly

 

[Panzon]

Just got a whiff of this mess

http://www.cbsnews.com/live/ for those who don't have any source of watching

They're reporting more than 25 deaths. This is awful and disgusting.

Please stay safe France GAF. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you

Edit: Looks like it's all the way up to 40. Certainly hope not

 

[Herb Alpert]

OMG the explosions were VERY loud during the football game!

 

[TTTR]

what the fuck

 

[Jezbollah]

Any (french) livestreams available by chance?

It's not French, but you can see Sky News here: http://news.sky.com/watch-live

EDIT: Police source: 100 hostages taken at the concert.

 

[jimbobsmells]

Please don't be Muslims, please don't be Muslims, please don't be Muslims.

There'll be some serious backlash coming if it is.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Just awful. Makes me sick to my stomach what some people will do because of an ideology.

Stay safe Paris-GAF.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

I don't get the 'please don't be muslims' reaction. It doesn't really make a difference the dead who murdered them

Agreed but this is just continuing the vicious cycle that radical Muslims thrive off.

Kill innocents, then backlash happens on non radical Muslims pushing them towards radicalism

 

[galvenize]

I was watching the France Germay game and wondered where that loud noise came from:

https://vine.co/v/iBb2x00UVlv

 

[trh]

Automatic translation of this tweet:

An outgoing witness Bataclan: "We managed to escape, there was blood everywhere, they shot the shotgun on the crowd"

 

[Ochibi]

I just saw a video on Twitter with shocking image from people bleeding and crying. It's just shocking...

 

[Walpurgis]

I don't get the 'please don't be muslims' reaction. It doesn't really make a difference the dead who murdered them

It makes a difference to the people that are still alive.

 

[pbsapeer]

This is unreal.... Bloody hell stay safe ParisGAF and everyone on else. Thoughts with you all x

 

[valkillmore]

Going to hit 100 - fuck

Source? Jesus fuck

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Why is this happening in France? France has been good in letting in people for immigration, right?

France has a relatively notable muslim population, due to its former colonial territories and the influence it still holds. Attacks like these feed the far right who feed persecution of minorities, which can then make it easier to radicalise. Its deliberately creating a vicious cycle.

That said, we still technically don't have confirmation of who the terrorists are or their affiliations.

Shorter version - fearmongering.

 

[Mecha]

Fox is saying the hostage number is around 100.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

The hostages

 

[Jacksinthe]

My thoughts are with the hostages at the immediate moment. Suicide bombers leaves little to the imagination that these inhuman fucks will submit.

My thoughts with the families of the deceased, as well.

Tried texting my friend who is a gaffer and developer in Paris, no response yet.

One part of me is tearing up while the other is seething with rage.

 

[Mindwipe]

This is so horrible. What a horrible waste of life :-(

 

[Yawnier]

This might be worse than the 2005 london bombings... Sad
