I've just read something about a decapitation near the stadium?

Link?

fuck

 

[JustenP88]

Not sure I see what you mean there. Is Westboro considered Christian?

Not by anyone but atheists that want to make Christians look bad.

Well, I'd say that's bullshit but I'm an atheist so fuck my opinion. You are what you say you are.

Doesn't mean they're representative of Christians as a whole. Same with these clowns and Muslims. Nuance and all that.

40 PEOPLE DEAD, 100 TAKEN HOSTAGE AT BATACLAN

 

[VanWinkle]

35 dead total or 35 dead at theater?

That's what I keep wondering.

The number just keeps on rising. I wonder if they have eyes in the hostage room. I heard of shot gun blasts in there. Many of that hundred could already be dead. :/

 

[Mindlog]

Incredibly sad. I hope the hostages can be rescued.

 

[Nodnol]

I'll wait till the morning to see who did it, why etc.

Until then, stay safe Paris and RIP to all the victims.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Something needs to be done, if its ISIS. This can't keep happening around the world.

 

[maquiladora]

If this is ISIS this might push us into another war

Isn't France already bombing ISIS targets?

 

[DiipuSurotu]

When is this from? The Charlie Hebdo killings?

Peace rally after those killings, yes

 

[Lender]

Link?

Read it on another forum, apparently this was told on dutch tv. But it was the first time I've heard about it, hence why I asked it here if anyone else heard something about this.

 

[Eclectic Jabber Monkey]

Wow, poor Paris. Hopefully they can get the hostages out safely.

Before I saw this news I just followed Rod Fergusson on Twitter and it appears he is in Paris on vacation, or was from his last Tweet 7 hours ago. Hopefully he was far away from this.

Worrying about Islamophobia when there are countless dead and even more taken hostage seems insanely distasteful to me.

Actually it is. Yes people have died but depending on how the media plays this countless more might suffer from these events. Terrorism is downright disgusting but if we don't tackle the way it is portrayed to the population then we just add fuel to the fire of an already vicious circle.

 

[Gurthang]

Sadly - that's exactly the ISIS plan / Al Qaeda plan. They want to restore the caliphate and turn the Middle East into basically a giant muslim version of Israel (and use the giant pile of oil to gain power in the world).

Stay safe Paris-GAF.

They are never going to achieve this obviously but I wonder when it will all end. It could be decades.

4th shooting, 5 killers on the run [BBC News:Unconfirmed]

 

[cartoon_soldier]

When this happened in India in 2008 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Mumbai_attacks) there was a lot of discussion on how it would be a template for future attacks. Because it really terrifies people and at the same time doesn't require that many resources. Looks like slowly it is being proven right.

Friday the 13th...
this date will now have a new conotation here in France...

 

[Hoo-doo]

In a bar somewhat near the bataclan. Everybody is locked in as a safety mesure. It's sort of creepy.

Stay safe.

 

[entremet]

Horrible.

CNN reporting ISIS has a hashtag going on twitter celebrating this

 

[Netherscourge]

CNN is saying an American Metal band was performing at the Concert Hall tonight in Paris.

Nobody stated which band(s) yet though.

Eagles of Death Metal

[Ochibi]

It starting.

A journalist from BFM TV spoke to a witness. This witness heard from a shooter : This is for Syria

 

[backflip10019]

This is absolutely horrible. Sickening.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Can we please stop the Islam discussion at least until this is over?

Edit:
Fuckfuckfuck

Shots heard in concert hall.

Bombing isn't really helping much is it?

Terrible

Thanks Robin

 

[Cyd0nia]

Like it or not they consider themselves as true muslims and therefore we should also consider them as muslims.

I don't consider them Muslims or even religious people. I consider these people sub human pigs.

I hope the hostage takers are taken alive. The guillotine should be brought back just for them and every family and friend connected to the perpetrators should have their door kicked in in the morning.

This is the second highly coordinated attack like this, it can't be allowed to stand without robust uniform condemnation and the hardest of responses IMO.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

This is horrible, stay safe out there ParisGAF.

 

[Beefy]

Is the explosions near the stadium new?

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

Jeeez I did not expect to wake up to this!
Terrible, absolutely terrible!
Do we know who is behind it?

 

[zsynqx]

FFS, this is disgusting. It is sad and scary.

 

[Setsu00]

What the shit is ARD doing. Interviewing German football officials instead of doing some proper Journalismus. Incredible.

Edit: and now even random fans. What the hell

They're probably trying not to spread any misinformation until the situation becomes a bit clearer.

 

[airmangataosenai]

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

While I understand why you're saying this, you are painting the larger population of Paris as the aggressors when they are seemingly still in the midst of an attack that could kill more than 100 people. Have some tact.

it's josh homme's side project, Eagles of Death Metal.

A few people on twitter are saying he didn't join them on this tour, but I haven't seen any confirmation.

 

[cripterion]

Fucking fucks now targeting metal/rock concerts? People drinking at bars? Eating at restaurants?

So fucking furious right now... Hope people in Bataclan are ok...

 

[SpaceWolf]

Fuck.

 

[psynergylover]

Jesus.....this is just too much and too frightening

stay safe Paris Gaf/ people of Paris, thoughts and prayers with those who have been injured/killed

what's this 100 hostages I'm hearing on the news!? just too scary man...

 

[GloriousBagel]

agreed, there are people dying and we are worried about Islamphobia. So lame.

 

[TharpDaddy]

.

Holy shit that's beyond horrifying, what a sickening event.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Bombing isn't really helping much is it?

How so? The Kurds recaptured Sinjar today and Jihadi John was killed.

 

[Regulus Tera]

jesus christ the coverage on cnn arguing that it was an attack against americans because of the concert stop looking at your fucking navel

 

[Atrophis]

Damn, just damn.

Stay safe France-GAF

God just watching BBC news makes me feel sick
Hoping the best for the hostages but given the stories of them opening fire on people as they went into the theatre I'm not expecting a good outcome
