Best wishes to everyone over there. Will never be able to understand why some people are capable of garbage like this.

To be honest I would be damn terrified right now if I was in France.
Why don't we take that step first before we condemn mankind to eternal suffering?
Religion's big appeal is crawling under the warm infantile mantle of having the security of an after-life.
If people wake up from that delusion and realize they only have this one life here and now, I would take a bet we would have less people willing to sacrifice themselves, thinking they wake up in a better life.
You go in unprepared and risk losing not only your own life, but all of the hostages too.
Believe me, they are not just chilling on the curb.

So this really is Mumbai 2008, take two.
I was very shocked too, the witness was obviously in shock with a terribly shaken voice, and the host kept pushing him to even describe the bodies and the number of them? WTF?
Stay strong France.

Because you don't know if the whole place is filled with bombs and whatnot. If they go in they might blow themselves up or something and instead of killing one by one they kill everyone.
Collecting data and preparing an attack, you can't hear shooting near the theater so I doubt any shooting is going down
Because this isn't a "gigantic" coordinated attack? This seems like something that relatively few people in a few different locations in a single city with a few explosives & guns have done. And it's all the more scary because of it. Usually we find out about bigger plans, but these kinds of smaller things are far more likely to go unnoticed while still being fairly destructive & deadly events due to the extremely deadly fire power of guns.

Christ...
People are tweeting from inside the theater to police - begging them to raid the building because the terrorists are going from room to room killing anyone they find hiding.
Police/Interpol/whoever needs to get in there and just hope they have good aim and good judgement and try to take out these fuckers.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
German right wing party is already incredibly disgusting on twitter.
Good god.
The state of emergency has only been introduced after World War II. But they have been done before.

The shooting in Les Halles / Châtelet / Centre Pompidou is "absolutely not confirmed" says France24 news channel
Bloody hell which 24 hour news broadcaster do you write stories for?

They'll find them, and then say "they were known from secret services".
Well thank you.

Makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. Hard to understand the importance of it as an American.

Probably need to confirm them. Don't want to go in and end up with a lot of hostages dead if people were just lying on social media.

this news is unreliable. calm down. From the times before I've learned that social media makes up all of their shit during a crisis. It's very difficult to separate parroted gossip from the actual situation.

I remember reading about the McDonald's crazy terrorist that killed people one by one, I couldn't sleep but kept thinking that something like that, with the fast tech of today and all other shit couldn't happen. And now it's happening and I don't know what to do to help these poor people, brothers, because fuck nations and distance, they are my brothers.
I'm sure that they're enjoying this very much.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
They have to talk about something, and that's an easy question to answer. Look at CNN's footage. It's just shaky cam shots of police cars.

All religions are false, but some people need such motivation to keep going. The best thing religion can give you are values to be a decent human: do not kill, love each other, help the poor, etc. The concept of gods watching us slaughter each other without doing anything is moronic. If there was "one true god" or anything of the like, there would be some kind of divine intervention. Surprise, Jesus appeared at a time where 1) technology was piss-poor and 2) people were not educated. But for some people it's easier to believe in fake stories published 2000 years ago than face the reality.

Indeed, but the media should not be spreading misinformation that could escalate things.
I switched from CNN to BBC's stream.
