I just woke up and I see that... What the actual fuck, that's horrible.

I hope the situation gets under control quickly...

porte ouverte = open door

Things like this are amazing and really show how humans are generally good in comparison with the rotten scum like the people who did this attack

How can these sorts of gigantic coordinated attacks slip by secret services? Disgusting. Time to take the kid gloves off in the fight against ISIS (if it's them), bombing planes and now Paris all within a few weeks time.

Sky is good I guess, at least it's in English. Can't really follow the French live TV.

Thank you.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Isn't there already a bunch of tension and animosity in France between the Islamic citizens and the rest of the population? These events are going to make relations that much worse with a ton of hostility if it is indeed an ISIS attack

That would be almost certainly the point if it were. Driving up racial tensions drives up persecution, and is then how terrorists extend their lure.

 

[Kabouter]

I think that ship has sailed already. Just go in. How much worse than Isis can it be

I don't know, in the past we figured 'How much worse than Al Qaeda can it be', well, now we know. I don't want to find out what could be worse than ISIS.

 

[El Odio]

Some friends of mine were just in Paris a few days ago for a study abroad trip. It's fucking scary to think about how they just narrowly avoid getting caught in the middle of this travesty. Fuck whoevers behind this. Jesus christ.

[andythinkpad]

My thoughts are with you Paris. This is going to change things. It will affect policy in the EU and in the United States. It will effect our election too.

It will affect the world over, it will affect China's minority policy toward the Uyghurs.

Apparently one of the gun men holding hostages has a suicide vest.

 

[Oersted]

You destroy every last one of them. Any movement can go the way of National Socialism.

A Nazi terror group went rampage for 10 years in Germany. The army is defeated. The ideology is not.

 

[Lender]

Shooting at a shopping mall...

At 11.40pm?

*edit* Oh, AT a shopping mall.

 

[Arkhanor]

Goddammit! This is so awful! Stay safe Paris-GAF

 

[gamechanger87]

HOW THE FUCK can a terrorist operation this huge slip past the intelligence?

These fucking scumbag terrorists. Picking on innocent civilians. You shameless pathetic lowlives. If you had any fucking shred of honor you would fight soldiers on battlefields. Cowards!

Comment removed so people will stop quoting it. It isn't the time or place for this discussion.

 

[raphier]

how is RAID going to deal with a hostage situation of 100+?

Just go in and hope they can act fast enough and hope for the least collateral damage? They must know that they clearly have no intention of living or negotiating and the end game is death, so how is RAID going to deal with this?

They're professionals. If Spetznas can do it, they will too. First thing it to drag out the negotiations to buy some time, meanwhile they cover al ltheir bases. There are only 100 hostages, but takers even less, so it's easier for RAID.

 

[mreddie]

Fuck, why Paris?

Goddamit.

Now also a 7.0 earthquake in Japan. Fuck what is happening

That happened about 2 1/2 hours ago.

 

[LAM09]

Truly awful.

 

[Snowblindvictim]

Seeing reports that the hostage situation is over.

Source?

 

[pulsemyne]

More reports on France 24 of further shootings. Apparently one is near the Louvre.

[pablito]

France brothers and sisters, stay safe. Show someone some love today.

 

[manhack]

It's possible a few false reports will trickle in, but the scope of this attack is insane.

 

[psynergylover]

just saw a short clip where you hear the bomb going off at the football game, scary stuff.

 

[Kathian]

Seeing pics on BBC of fans congregating on the pitch; calming down now -- my concern was someone could get on to the pitch but the fans seem to be evacuating ok.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Shopping mall now?

So what, is ISIS just blowing all their sleeper cells at once?

 

[TemplaerDude]

: ( Stay safe guys.

I know shit is going to be ultra tight tonight. I work security at a university here in nyc. I go in later tonight.. Hope to stay safe.

 

[mothball]

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

this post is so fucking perfect

 

[themidnightsun156]

what the fuck...why?

 

[El Topo]

Do yourself a favor and don't follow any live streams, such as those on Reddit. It's shocking. Alleged tweets from people inside the building, that's just too much for me.

 

[schlongdog]

Now also a 7.0 earthquake in Japan. Fuck what is happening

How is this in any way relevant?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Bloomberg reporting that the NYPD are on high alert right now

Just precautionary I'm sure, but I'm glad they are aware of the bad situation across the pond right now

 

[KHarvey16]

I see people already tripping over themselves to blame the acceptance of refugees from a war zone.

[SilentRob]

Me and my brother gave our parents a weekend in paris for their anniversary, they were there just 3 weeks ago. These attacks are happening right in the middle of paris...I mean, fuck. Just imagining my parents in the city in this situation I'm getting teary-eyed. My mom would probably never leave the house again. Jesus christ, man. I feel so bad for all affected people and this shit feels closer than ever. Fuck.

Make it a Muslim army then. Get Saudi Arabia off their fucking asses and DO SOMETHING

SA helped create ISIS. I don't know how they feel about killing them. :/

Now also a 7.0 earthquake in Japan. Fuck what is happening

Wow. I haven't left this thread in an hour. I think 7.0 is okay for Japan though?

Bloomberg reporting that the NYPD are on high alert right now

This is so well coordinated that that is certainly a possibility. I hadn't even considered it. I hope the guys in Paris are it.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Bloomberg reporting that the NYPD are on high alert right now

that's a natural reaction to something like this, not uncommon.

 

[bounchfx]

This is absolutely fucking horrific. I hope this madness ends ASAP and we don't see any more casualties. I cant even fathom how fucked you have to be to do something like this.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Millions of refugees flooding the countries with no background checks. Intelligence is overwhelmed and can't do anything about it.

Stop blaming refugees. Jesus Christ, there has been attacks before today.

 

[KidB]

Oh my god, shootings at centre pompidou too...
