Bodacious acts like some reasonable conservative but it turns out he's just a racist arsehole! Shocking.

Is it true to say that France has had more Islamic terrorist attacks than any other western nation? Seems like there's a few every year, even if most of them are 'minor'.

 

[Mister Negative]

Apparently the attackers at the concert were shouting "This is for Syria". This ideology is going to take decades to defeat. It is the ideas that have to be stamped out. Isis want the west to react and put boots on the ground. It will create more terrorists.

It's terrifying. It's like a hydra. How do you fight it?

 

[forms]

He's saying he's gravely injured.

That they're shooting people one by one and that he needs help.

Jesus...how do these people become so INCREDIBLY evil?

Just tuned in to all of this. Have a family friend in the city, this is terrifying. RIP to the victims and to all else - stay safe.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

My sister was in an underground concert near republic. No news since 15m. 15m I'll take my moto to scout around. Fuck

Don't do it. I'm sure she is fine. You won't be able to find her and you are just putting yourself in danger and making it harder for the police.

 

[Kathian]

Right ok thanks guys sorry to the user; totally my misunderstanding.

 

[Cybit]

I don't think that will ever happen, there's a proxy war going on there if you haven't noticed.

They'll put it on hold if sufficiently angered - which this might do.

 

[SliChillax]

What the fuck is this post? A threat?

He's warning about graphic content, not a threat.

 

[Nephtis]

Being Muslim and Syrian is about to get really bad in France, and a lot of parts of Europe.

I expect a backlash against the Muslim community to follow soon. This is terrible.

 

[quackamole]

Jesus Christ, my best friend is over at Paris with his wife. They are okay though and heard lots of ambulances, probably shittinf his pants.

 

[The_lascar]

French here (not in Paris). My twitter timeline is scary as fuck. People on the street are asking for a shelter.

 

[valkillmore]

What the fuck is this post? A threat?

No...it's 'be careful about clicking that link. The poster is serious about warning you about what's behind the link.'

 

[Chuckie]

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

The 'no true scotsman' fallacy came quick this time.

 

[superseohyun]

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

dont worry. Uyghurs extremist already killed 30+ in Kunming, China in a massive attack.Also countless attack in xinjiang. those affects China's minority policy much much more than this.

is something happening at the top of the eiffel tower?

BBC World Service is reporting many hostages feared at Eifel Tower expo level up top.

Jesus, be careful out there. I'm hoping for the best for you + your sister.

More like centuries.

I am slightly confused about Obama's statement. He is talking in the past, but isn't all of this still going on?

 

[jufonuk]

My prays are with Paris

 

[phaze]

Horryfying.

 

[pgtl_10]

Deploying a 'Christian' army is unlikely to make things any better in the long term though. Just give those morons another excuse to go 'OMG CRUSADERS'


Tons, they are very common, they're also hard to find unless you're doing some construction work, so not exactly dangerous in terms of terrorist use.

This. Military won't solve anything. Israel has tried military even before its existence. US tried military. The British tried military, Russia tried military. We need a new approach because blowing up things makes things worse.

Assuming you're still listening but yeah he just said it's still unfolding.

 

[Dryk]

Some good friends of mine are in Paris, said they heard sirens but are apparently far enough away

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

I'm always amazed at how easy it is for terrorists to get exactly the reaction they want

[Pacbois]

Still inside a bar somewhat near the bataclan, updating from my phone. We're calmly staying in just in case, waiting for updates and the all clear that everything is good. Apparently a friend was at the show but is fine.

 

[Vire]

Just came home to this horribly upsetting news.

Ugh... What a way to start the weekend. Sickening.

 

[PhaZZe]

They're getting what they want in the middle of Paris.

He did mention things are obviously ongoing ie not resolved yet.

Possible bomb at the concert hostage situation.

Stay safe dude.
My thoughts are with the French people.
RIP to all those who fell today.

Have the perpetuators been identified as refugees?

The 'no true scotsman' fallacy came quick this time.

It was just an opinion. Give it a rest.

 

[Mael]

This whole situation is so fucking infuriating.
The incompetent shitty people governing allowed mass surveillance to avoid stuffs like that.
Of course it served no purpose.
People are dead and dying and the only response will be more drastic measure to be sure all dick pics are safely stored by the secret services.
And on top of that we're going to be assaulted by another onslaught on our intelligence with conspiracy theories.

 

[Mashing]

This is just awful. Whoever did this needs to be held accountable, but there's too much speculation to know who that is at this point.

 

[Bam]

My heart goes out to all of Paris

 

[mreddie]

Possible bomb at the concert hostage situation.

Oh fuck me...

 

[RPGCrazied]

CNN is saying something about the stadium, can't confirm, but he says they are killing people one by one in there. Someone posted on facebook for the police to please raid the stadium.

 

[jelly]

This is also my question all the time. When there is one shooter it can slip under the radar, but how can these well organised attacked go under the radar. What use is for those big budgets for the different secret services from different countries if not for situations like this? It's nice that allied country are intercepting each other's leaders though, much better use of money.

Poor Paris..

You can't watch everyone and if you aren't do anything dodgy through communications that can be tracked or doing everything face to face, I don't blame them for not finding these people. Sometimes you just can't stop evil unfortunately. It's a balance between security and freedom and unless they stick cameras, microphones, trackers etc. under our skin, it's not going to change. You have to fight it other ways along with security.

Hope the hostages get out of this alive.

 

[Imperial Hot]

Brother is in the city. Doesn't speak French and he's trying to travel back to his place. I'm trying to tell him to ask anyone to let him stay with them until things die down. He needs to not be traveling around.

Give me some French he can say to someone asking can I please stay in your home?
