Draw and quarter the cunt

Seize his family and friends tonight

You have a disgusting mentality.

OT, I hope no one else is harmed and I'm thinking of everyone in Paris.

 

[JuanLatino]

this will cleave Europe more and fuel the hate/fear. What a horrible Night

PrayforParis! Sick World

I know it's a little off-topic, but what kind of alerts do you use on your phone? I'd like to have them.

It's mostly Twitter, a bunch of my friends there direct messaged me at once.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Lots of very loud explosions happening now.

I'm following on RDI. http://ici.radio-canada.ca/

edit: they lost the feed but it will come back

 

[bwahhhhh]

just got home and heard about this and have been reading various news sites. terrible. condolences to ParisGAF and all of Paris.

FOX NEWS: "they're killing hostages one by one" -witness

 

[Walpurgis]

I guess he simply means that they know they are islamists.

No, I think he means that their names and everything are known. I wouldn't be surprised if they were already on a watchlist or something. That's usually how it goes.

 

[Masquerader]

Oh god. This is an awful tragedy, which may lead to even worse awful tragedies yet... RIP to the victims...

 

[Gorger]

They've got one?

I'll be extremely surprised if they catch any of these bastards alive. They are ready to die for their cause, and will take as many people with them as they can.

Agence France-Presse ✔ @AFP
#BREAKING One of explosions near Paris stadium was suicide attack: several sources

 

[Breakage]

Copped news of this on the radio, turned on the TV and damn, this is crazy. A planned multi-pronged attack at night and the body count is already at 40 last time I checked. Seems like they wanted to overwhelm the police and security forces. It's fucked up.

 

[Chariot]

Concert hall is being raided right now according to Hamburger Morgenpost.
Can't tell you if that's a trustworthy source, just saw it on twitter.

https://twitter.com/mopo/status/665306043182809088

Not a very reputable source. Wouldn't tryst their word alone.

 

[fixedpoint]

What's the status on the hostages? I'm seeing mixed reports on Twitter and don't know what to believe

According to callers on France24 & CNN it's not looking good.

My thoughts are with the victims, their families and all of France.

 

[SwolBro]

this time there will be repercussions

 

[Volimar]

I hope they weren't watching CNN in that concert hall or they knew they were coming.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

What the fuck... this is so messed up.

 

[Starfield]

My god. Get in already.

 

[Boy Wander]

I have to say this makes me feel a little uneasy about working in Central London. I also travel to Paris twice a month. Probably a little irrational but still, I find this discomforting.

 

[forms]

So resort to their level?

As a response and to avoid further attacks in the case it is a proven attacker? Absolutely.

 

[Netherscourge]

Watching this stream, BTW:

http://go.cnn.com/?stream=CNN&sr=watchLiveHPbutton

It'll last for a few minutes unless you have a sub to one of the cable accounts. (Comcast etc...)

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Reports of shooting and explosion followed by a silence in the concert hall.

Shots fired right now.

[WonkyPanda]

France has to consider a boots on ground offensive after this, right?

 

[Kimaxe]

[Fantastapotamus]

Okay, so the problem is that you are posting a german source which is repeating old french news.

And it's made worse that you don't even know if it's true, you just went ahead and reposted it anyway. So if it was false, now you would have spread false news.

Sorry.
But how can I should I know if it is true? I can hardly verify it. And it's hard to keep up what's new information and what's not, I just saw this retweeted a bunch on my twitter feed. It's a german newspaper so I thought it's probably more verified than some random dude on twitter. But I wont repeat it. Sorry again.

Edit: Hope that doesn't sound condescending or annoyed or anything! You are correct.

 

[pringles]

This is horrible...

 

[The Lone Courier]

Stay safe ParisGaf.

 

[The Artisan]

Skynews interviewed some guy on their stream just now, Frenchman named Tibaut or something

Was this guy on the Sky Stream. Kept spreading fear live on television saying the worst is still to come, how he wishes he was carrying a gun,...

wtf...a bit sus

 

[Pezking]

Weird. Why would the attackers warn them? Or maybe it was someone else?

To keep the police busy there during the day?

 

[daviyoung]

France has to consider a boots on ground offensive after this, right?

where?

 

[subrock]

le Petit Cambodge yes.

oh fuck. That place is jammed at night. Jesus. That's fucking awful.

 

[Tapiozona]

Not condoning what they did but the Russian Alpha Team dealt with terrorists in Boss mode... These people obviously don't care about their own lives.

Six years later, in October 1985, Alpha Group was dispatched to war-torn Beirut, Lebanon. The Kremlin was informed of the kidnapping of four Soviet diplomats by the militant group, the Islamic Liberation Organization (a radical offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood). It was believed that this was retaliation for the Soviet support of Syrian involvement in the Lebanese Civil War.[19] However, by the time Alpha arrived, one of the hostages had already been killed. Through a network of supporting KGB operatives, members of the task-force identified each of the perpetrators involved in the crisis, and once identified, began to take the relatives of these militants as hostages. Following the standard Soviet policy of no negotiations with terrorists, some of the hostages taken by Alpha Group were dismembered, and their body parts sent to the militants. The warning was clear: more would follow unless the remaining hostages were released immediately.[20] The show of force worked, and for a period of 20 years no Soviet or Russian officials were taken captive, until the 2006 abduction and murder of four Russian embassy staff in Iraq.[21]

CNN playing video of officers entering the building with machine gun fire being heard just as an ambulance was arriving.

Total fucking insanity.

The fucking idiotic bastards. Did they learn nothing from the Olympic hostage situation?

SOURCE!

France has to consider a boots on ground offensive after this, right?

I think they're more preoccupied with getting those hostile boots off their ground before they'll start thinking about anything else.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Absolutely no one knows what is happening at Bataclan, including news agencies. All we can do is wait.

 

[Ovid]

MSNBC is says that US counter terrorism is saying that this is probably Al-Qaeda.

Source of a source I know.

 

[Cappa]

the thing that worries me is that no one in the press has a fucking clue what is going at the Bataclan.

 

[Euron]

Holy Fuck what the hell is going on?

Regardless, stay safe ParisGAF. We, the rest of the world, are with you through this no matter what happens.

 

[Mozz-eyes]

Jesus Christ.

I hate the French as much as the next Englishman, but to shoot up Paris and take hostages is so far past the line that you can't even see it any more.

God damn...

My thoughts are with them. Any reports on those responsible yet?

 

[UnluckyKate]

Er, that doesn't sound like a good idea!? Also, source?

Christ, this is a horrible situation.

Source?

Being American, giving cops a free fire zone is terrifying to me.

french goverment apparently

 

[Gandie]

this time there will be repercussions

What kind of repercussions?

 

[Joni]

where?

Syria and Iraq. Libya again maybe.

 

[WonkyPanda]

where?

It's not like, who we all assume it is, doesn't have a territorial presence.

 

[FeD.nL]

yes this is quite old please please please please please stop posting american media coverage of this it is not helping

I thought this was from the facebook post from someone inside the venue

 

[backflip10019]

I'm truly heartbroken for France and the rest of the world. Absolutely sickening that anyone is capable of such violence.

 

[Guess Who]

For fuck's sake don't post shit without linking or at least naming a source.
