40 dead?

 

[Slayer-33]

Fox is saying the hostage number is around 100.

Nooo fuck that shit omfg

 

[Future PhaZe]

Source? Jesus fuck

probably negative thinking about the outcome of the hostage situation

 

[Piggus]

If he shouted that then he isn't a muslim

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

Anyone who opens fire on innocent people is not a Muslim no matter what they shout or think they are.

 

[smurfx]

Sky reporting AP saying at least 26 dead.

jesus that's fucked up. hope the numbers don't keep rising. they better keep those people safe at the stadium.

 

[Sijil]

Two suicide attacks strike my city yesterday and kills over 40 of my compatriots, women and children among them, it receives only a page worth of attention and the attack is labelled as an attack on a militant stronghold.

An attack by the same group on Paris attracts over 9 pages worth of following and condemnation.... Wonder what the reaction would be if Lebanese newspapers labelled the attack as an attack on a French military stronghold?

Regardless of my rant, the attacks on Beirut from yesterday and the vile justifications and gloating that followed are still fresh, my heartfelt condolences to the French people and not the government.

 

[Alx]

Damn that's crazy, watching the images on TV. Cops are all nervous with their weapons drawn...

 

[LeBart]

I live in Paris. I'm fucking speechless.
Not again...

My girlfriend's parents live in rue de Charonne. She was with her mother at the restaurant that was attacked a week ago. A bunch of my friends are locked inside bars around the area.

 

[Kuldar]

Horrible, and if few hours the far right in France will try to use it as a way to promote their xenophobic agenda...

 

[KurtSloane]

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

Plenty of Muslims in France, not so easy to pick on like other Western countries.

Sorrowful news for all concerned.

 

[kittoo]

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

That's the worst part? Seriously? So many people are dead and according to you, the worst part is that some people might become prejudiced against Muslims?

 

[maquiladora]

@JeremyCliffe

Reports from Bataclan: some escaped, describing pools of blood and attackers using pump-action shotgun against crowd inside

.

 

[Real Hero]

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

Sure, I don't disagree but it seems a little bit heartless for that to be some peoples first reaction.

 

[Cereal Enthusiast]

Any (french) livestreams available by chance?

http://www.bfmtv.com/mediaplayer/live-video/

I'm fucking scared.

 

[davepoobond]

crazy

 

[Future PhaZe]

so they shot into the hostages then?

 

[Tenebrous]

Source? Jesus fuck

I think it's just a prediction. With that many hostages, honestly, I'm inclined to agree with him/her... Not one of the attackers (suicide bombers aside) have been confirmed dead yet, while the innocent lives taken just seems to keep going up and up.

 

[MikeDown]

shit my girl is in paris and her bro is a cop

can't contact em while im at wrk...

 

[Kathian]

Source? Jesus fuck

No source just usually these numbers grow and its going up slowly my only hope is the Paris services are extremely well trained and this has lead to an accurate report at this stage.

Just with bombs and gun men loose. IDK

 

[Phoenix944]

That's fucking terrible... Maybe I shouldn't but I feel like going to work everyday will be a bit stressful from now on...


edit : BFMTV website isn't working for me, I watch here : http://www.centraltv.fr/france-television/bfm-tv

edit2: tv says more than 40 dead

 

[sinxtanx]

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[pulsemyne]

Apparently the gunmen firing at the concert mentioned syria as they did it.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Anyone who opens fire on innocent people is not a Muslim no matter what they shout or think they are.

This

 

[Scrooged]

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.

Have we already forgotten Charlie Hebdo? All it takes is drawings of Muhammad to make these people kill.

 

[Any Questions]

It's getting worse. If anything more frequent and worse.

My sympathy for all affected

 

[SenkiDala]

Horrible, and if few hours the far right i, France will try to use it as a way to promote their xenophobic agenda...

They already started...

 

[GoxRx]

Fucking hell. This is awful.

 

[shira]

40 dead?

oh no
RIPs

 

[Regulus Tera]

Stay safe Paris-GAF.

 

[MikeHattsu]

This is horrible

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

so they shot into the hostages then?

They probably shot into the crowed when they entered, the people who didn't escape are the now hostages.

 

[NateDog]

Jesus 100 hostages, apparently maybe 35 could be dead (although that might be a mix up of 35 at the time overall in all attacks). Praying it won't get worse. Thoughts are with everyone affected.

 

[RangerX]

This death count could rise to over a hundred. Fucking hell the hostages must be terrified.

 

[Netherscourge]

Anyone who opens fire on innocent people is not a Muslim no matter what they shout or think they are.

I'm going to have to disagree here.

@stefandevries
PARIS: 2 OR 3 HEAVILY ARMED SHOOTERS SHOOTING AT POLICE FORCES

https://twitter.com/stefandevries/status/665291480949497860

 

[Roberto Larcos]

RT saying 100 hostages too. No claims of responsibility as yet.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Europe won't be the same after today

 

[Mael]

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

Oh goddamn it because it's perfectly safe for the people taken hostage and people who were shot dead?

 

[Grizzo]

Stay safe, Grizzo. Don't panic though

You're right, even though it's hard with all these sounds in the streets and people rushing to go home in my stairwell. I just don't want the nightmare from January to happen again but it's already too late for that

 

[UnluckyKate]

Automatic translation of this tweet:

fucking scumbags

 

[valkillmore]

This is just fucking insane

 

[Kud Dukan]

.

How the fuck can people do things like this...

 

[LordDash]

Spoiler

Covering of the bodies near a restaurant

This shit is vile as fuck

 

[Marvel]

All those people in the stadium is a scary sight.

 

[kendrid]

CBS is reporting 100 hostages in the theater.

 

[KurtSloane]

Europe won't be the same after today

Heard that the same thing other times.

Won't be the same for the refugees trying to get here, that's for sure.

 

[Anfony O]

I just wish the media highlights that these cunts are the same people that killed 40 muslims in the Beirut bombings 2 nights earlier.

 

[Piggus]

I'm going to have to disagree here.

Go right ahead. These are extremists with a fucked up ideology. It's in no way in line with modern Islam.

 

[Xando]

If this is ISIS this might push us into another war

Sadly, for most people - including me - those events are far removed from us, so the impact is a lot less. This hits way closer to home for people here.
