Support NeoGAF

Unfortunately the only way these extremists, and their extreme activities will ever, somehow, be brought to a halt is via correspondingly extreme actions in turn.

How humans in 2015 can still have 'differences', real or perceived, that lead to horrific situations like this is staggering, and terribly saddening.

A very sad time, and a dire situation.

Christ, my coworker just flew into Paris tonight.

CNN is just interested in your viewership. They have zero interest in getting things right because there's no consequence for it. I've already assumed 90% of what we're being told is going to be wrong or changed in 24 hours.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

CNN talking to an eye-witness. Says the terrorists in the theater were just executing people one-by-one in cold blood.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Watching sky news all there doing is scaring people always mentioning kids

 

[UnluckyKate]

Collecting data and preparing an attack, you can't hear shooting near the theater so I doubt any shooting is going down

its a concert hall, its made so a metal band can play without being heard from outside...

BBC reporter now reporting the hostage shootings.

"UNCOFIRMED" is important.

 

[Gandie]

Crazy. Not even in the two WW?

Different république.

 

[zelas]

Border being closed? It's way too late but it's a start, Europe is under siege. I fear this is the end of Schengen.

I'm assuming you mean too late to prevent these attacks? President said he was closing the borders to not let anyone escape. If attacks are still on going it's a reasonable reaction.

 

[Xando]

Did they play the game until the end?

Yeah

We are closing order in order to prevent the escape of terrorists and their accomplices, not to stop immigration.

 

[Brinbe]

Holy shit at this eyewitness account on CNN. The trauma of what he witnessed is unimaginable

 

[Regulus Tera]

These tweets are 2 hours old, what are you doing?

caught up in the hysteria, you are right

 

[Violet_0]

Did they play the game until the end?

yes, the German team at least wasn't informed until after the end of the match

 

[Tambini]

Did they play the game until the end?

The football? Yes

 

[xk0sm0sx]

is... this another 9/11 level event?

 

[Lashley]

"UNCOFIRMED" is important.

I hope its never confirmed, too horrifying to think about

 

[Übermatik]

This is absolutely fucking insane.

An immeasurable tragedy. I hope France GAF and everyone in and around Paris are keeping safe.

 

[vinnygambini]

Prieres pour tous ceux et celles qui sont affectés.

Est-ce qu'on connait la provance des ses actes?

 

[SporeCrawler]

German right wing party is already incredibly disgusting on twitter.

why? what are they claiming

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

Is this an Islamic attack?

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.

I'm surprised this hasn't happened in the US already with how easy it is to get assault rifles.

 

[kirblar]

French question must be why not London and the answers have to be borders I guess.

There have also been a number of cultural clashes with French culture and Muslim immigrants that have caused them to become targets over other nations.

is... this another 9/11 level event?

Yes.

Lets not turn this thread into an anti-religion circle jerk while the situation is still continuing.

"UNCOFIRMED" is important.

I edited my post to include the actual tweet.

 

[stufte]

is... this another 9/11 level event?

No, but it's huge. But let's not compare every terrorist attack to 9/11. Every single terrorist attack is fucked, big or small.

 

[fierrotlepou]

This is fucked up.

 

[Corronchilejano]

Is this an Islamic attack?

Are the perpetrators of this horrific act muslims? Probably. Is islam attacking France? No.

 

[Vastag]

This is horrible.

 

[Iceternal]

This is my country ...

 

[Osaka15]

The government of these big nations are more to blame for this attack than the terrorist when they choose to do nothing about these alleged radicalized Islamist terrorist. I am glad I live in a good community and avoid these types of event.

 

[Linius]

Dutch extreme right winger Geert Wilders tweeted he wants our PM to close our borders as well. This kind of terrible events are like candy for extreme right wingers everywhere.

Lets not turn this thread into an anti-religion circle jerk while the situation is still continuing.

Religion and its use to manipulate is a key component.

Links or @names?

Nothing worthy enough of being seen. Just disgusting stuff like "Merkel's welcomingculture is being burried in Paris right now. That's a good thing"
Shit like that.

In france we thought that Chalie Hebdo was our 9/11.

Today it seems that we were wrong.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I really hope Europe manages to come together in the aftermath of this.

What we need is unity and love. Not hate.

 

[daviyoung]

This is my country ...

it will be ok

 

[Baroquemantic]

This guy describing what he saw on CNN.

 

[Netherscourge]

From what I'm hearing from witnesses on CNN, they are not taking hostages. They don't say anything, just shooting people. They are on a search and kill mission.


The police better not be waiting for some sort of demand or negotiation.

They need to storm the fucking theater now.

 

[entremet]

What? Nearly 3,000 people died in the 9/11 attacks

They may have meant motivation, not casualties.
