Hollande makes an address and the BBC ignore it and talk about the football match. Wtf.

 

[Ensirius]

Hollande closing France borders. The Schengen is becoming a thing of the past.

Did he actually say that?
. Hearing about hostages asking the police to raid on social media is one of the most awful things I've read in my life.

 

[pringles]

CNN just reported there are hostages posting on social media, begging authorities to raid the theater because the hostage takers are "slaughtering them one-by-one."

God, I pray that isn't true.

Sad to say but nothing points towards the people committing this attack having any interest in making demands or trading the hostages for something. So I can believe that the situation for those hostages is the absolute worst imaginable. I hope not, but things look grim right now.

 

[BriGuy]

I feel sick to my stomach reading about this. Why do people keep doing this shit to each other.

 

[Mac_Lane]

State of emergency + closing of the borders, this keeps getting crazier by the minute...

So shocked right now.

 

[R_thanatos]

Good luck, the borders having been open for everyone all across the EU for a long time. God fucking dammit, I hope the Paris police/army is able to catch these bastards.

border where being restored partially in france because of the big climate congress in a few weeks , who knows how closed they will be for the rest of the year

Je dois rester ici, c'est une question de vie ou de mort.

[TheLostBigBoss]

Closing borders? That is mega.

Maybe America should do that next.

rofl, if you're actually saying this then you clearly have zero idea what you're talking about

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Guys, Borders are closed automatically with declaration of State of Emergency.

My understanding at least.

 

[raphier]

people calm down and don't believe everything you hear in times of crisis. Not all gossip you hear is true, you should remember that.

 

[Gurthang]

Borders being closed

 

[Hypron]

I thought I heard him say the state of emergency was for the "île de france", i.e. Paris and its surroundings, not the whole country.

 

[Ovid]

Closed borders.

Crazy.

 

[Walpurgis]

Retire religion? The fuck does that mean?

"Ok, guys! No more religion for you! We're retiring it!"

These threads always bring out the crazies.

Spoiler

It's sad that I've seen lots of these threads.

 

[illmatic22]

If you retire religion, i'm sure man will find another excuse for bloodshed. Mankind is flawed.

Bingo.

 

[Kahoona]

Don't watch CNN's coverage. They are picking up literally everything anyone posts on social media that could maybe be true. It's terrible.

BBC broadcast is way, way calmer and skips the fear-mongering: http://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-...ng&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=news_central

You'd think people would fucking learn this by now. CNN never seems to let a tragedy go to waste.

 

[PSYGN]

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.

Suppose God appeared in the sky with a booming voice commanding to stop the bloodshed. Do you think the terrorists will think it's a western technology to trick them? I think they are too far into their brainwash to stop anytime soon.

 

[Ooccoo]

yeah no

It might be tasteless in such a thread, but he has a point. I fear this is only going to get worse, sadly.

 

[Osahi]

I fear this could be the final shot for Shengen...

 

[felipeko]

If you retire religion, i'm sure man will find another excuse for bloodshed. Mankind is flawed.

While i agree, this is much easier to happen if you have extreme beliefs of how to behave from 6th century dogmas.

 

[FStop7]

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

Oh, Saudi Arabia's doing something.

 

[Kathian]

Well that's the German leadership utterly fucked.

 

[mreddie]

Holy shit.

Thank you.

 

[segasonic]

State of emergency
Military deployed
Borders closed

I have to stay here, it's a matter of life or death.

God, I pray that isn't true.

jesus christ, please be fucking things up like usual CNN, really hope that isn't the case

cheers for this

 

[Brinbe]

Thoughts to those in Paris. It's always terrible when atrocities happen anywhere but these attacks happening in a global center really hits home that this can happen anywhere and there's little to nothing we can do without going further down a deep hole.

This is a horrible mark on history which will be remembered forever. And this shit isn't even under control right now. Can't enjoy anything right now knowing there are people trapped and certain to die.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

I thought I hear him say the state of emergency was for the "île de france", i.e. Paris and its surroundings, not the whole country.

It's the whole country.

 

[Guevara]

CNN going hard on narrative about open borders, and how many refugees have entered France over the past months.

 

[D23]

wow i'm speechless.

 

[zsynqx]

Going for a night out in London tomorrow and honestly considering cancelling that.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Hey, guys, a lot of French media is covering this. Please don't post stuff from second-hand news sources. CNN re-reporting on French media re-reporting on someone's Facebook post from 30 minutes ago about a situation that's highly fluid and has changed materially since then just makes it harder for people to figure out what's going on. If you heard something and want to share it, my advice would be don't unless you're entirely sure that you heard something and that what you heard was right and that you're the first person here to hear it and that your source isn't sourcing another source.

 

[ElTorro]

Guys, Borders are closed automatically with declaration of State of Emergency.

My understanding at least.

Yeah, I guess. Probably just part of standard procedure.

I don't see why closing borders would be of any importance right now otherwise.

 

[skynidas]

I'm confused by the closing borders thing. My mother is flying to Paris tomorrow, does that mean the flight is canceled or what?

 

[NateDog]

Any confirmation on that 50 or so people who were said to have left the concert? The "one-by-one" killing thing sounds absolutely terrifying and horrid, please don't be true.

 

[Gandie]

First time state of emergency has been declared for the entire mainland.

Retire religion? The fuck does that mean?

"Ok, guys! No more religion for you! We're retiring it!"

It's fair to say if a magic sky pixie does exist and is letting this happen, we should maybe think it is an ass hole and ignore it anyway.

 

[Ce-Lin]

I'm crying, after suffering this myself in Madrid a ton of memories coming back... I just can't take it, what a miserable life we have to live.

 

[wiibomb]

my goodness.. stay strong France..

I don't even know what kind of consequences will this do..

nobody has confirmed this is related to ISIS, right?

 

[KazenY2J]

This is so fucked up.
Is this a planned attack?

 

[Mudcrab]

Hollande: We know who these terrorists are. (Per translation )#ParisAttacks

[Mister Negative]

Can someone European explain the significance of closed borders? I assume it has a lot to do with Europe's generally open borders, but it seems like that's a logical reaction to an attack of this magnitude.

 

[T.O.P]

Closing Borders? Holy shit.

 

[KHarvey16]

Guys, Borders are closed automatically with declaration of State of Emergency.

My understanding at least.

I thought I was missing something, but border closure during an active emergency seems routine.

 

[SwolBro]

If you retire religion, i'm sure man will find another excuse for bloodshed. Mankind is flawed.

No, sorry i don't think so. Attacking bad ideas is never a mistake. The only positive outcome from any of this is religion ending all over the world.
