Doesn't say they'll take people for free

 

[Randomizer123454444]

Good luck to people of Paris, I hope you survive the night with minimal suffering.

Woke up because of an earthquake at 5:15 in the morning and now this shit. Wtf is going on today? Jesus Christ..

Wait, what? This is totally unrelated but I'm freaked out right now because I live in Mississippi and was also sleeping around the same time and I had a vivid dream about an earthquake happening all around me. Very weird coincidence and I don't really believe in clairvoyance.

This Paris incident is scary as hell, I will be praying for everyone over there in just a minute. Please stay safe Paris-GAF and everyone else who lives there, please.

AFP: The attacks were coordinated to happen in 7 different locations.

Long-winded ass Christiane Amanpour just loves to hear her own voice. Geeze. Wolf asked one question and she went off for like five straight minutes.

Stop watching CNN.

Their coverage of this is terrible.

they learned from the Sydney bullshit then. good

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Just had 2 "friends" blame: The liberal agenda and the refugees for this.

 

[Putosaure]

Okay but:

1) Posting this on GAF makes it third hand news (witness -> CNN -> poster), which is bad for getting the details right or assessing claim credibility

2) The information is significantly out of date

3) People who are not just driveby posting are trying to figure out what's going on and it's made harder when they can't figure out if new posts are the same old news being re-reported or new, breaking news, especially since old reports with the word BREAKING: don't get edited to remove the BREAKING:

People should not be posting anything that isn't a first-hand report, linked directly, originating from within the last few minutes. There is essentially no reason to post a US media report at all because they will never be those things in this case. Less noise, more signal.

I guess people watching the french news channels can report ?

 

[Sgtpepper89]

Think it's more to do with getting attention and with affecting a large number of people rather than anything directly to do with sport, then again hard to say for sure. You're talking about one explosion near a football stadium / football match, one hostage situation at a theatre/concert, and a shooting at a restaurant at minimum, perhaps those places were chosen for more than simply that, who knows right now.

Edit: May have misread your post or what you meant, apologies.

I was thinking as the german team apparently got threatened together with attacks at the stadium, and also a avenue with an american band playing got targeted, it feels like its not only an attack against France.

And like other wrote there is gonna be huge security, but still I cant be the only one thinking about how this will end out with people from all over europe gathers up in this country that already had several attacks in a short time.

I must say I really hate the media coverage tho.. I find it so discusting when they interview victims in shock with stupid questions until they get the quotes they need..

 

[Kilrogg]

Goddammit, I used to think nobody took France seriously enough to actually attack it, but it seems we can't catch a break now. Awful.

Oddly enough, I managed to get home between 10 and 11pm without hearing or seeing anything suspicious, even though I took the most frequented metro line (line 1), which passes right through the center of the city.

Stay safe, Paris-GAF.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Jesus Christ, this sounds like an all out war. Every time I check on this thread there's a new attack.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Damn

 

[megalowho]

How is this still ongoing. I'm not getting the sense that anything is under control out there, hard to separate new reports from the old. Absolutely dreading the official report of what happened at Bataclan.

 

[Starfield]

We will no longer be reporting what's happening at the Bataclan. This is due to a gag request by French Police.

from reddit so take it with a grain of salt. Im watching the live thread

 

[dc89]

Explosions & gunfire heard at Bataclan concert hall, Paris where hostages reportedly held http://bbc.in/1OJoBof http://twitter.com/BBCBreaking/status/665311377641246720/photo/1

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

You could have years ago...but we in europe were blind and didn't believe something like that could happen here.

How exactly?

 

[Herb Alpert]

itélé confirms assault is ongoing in the bataclan.

 

[Calamari41]

Jesus Christ, this sounds like an all out war. Every time I check on this thread there's a new attack.

It is a war, whether people want to realize that or not.

 

[Nekofrog]

this is nonsense.

no, it's not an unreasonable statement at this moment in time.

what's nonsense is the outright dismissal of it.

 

[Palette Swap]

From BFMTV: More policemen and the army are coming to Paris right now.

This is benign info but let's not quote BFM.

These are the pieces of shit who reported live on TV that people had managed to hide while the hyper casher hostage situation was still ongoing. They could have gotten these people killed. That's how sensationalist and worthless these guys are.

no, it's not an unreasonable statement at this moment in time.

what's nonsense is the outright dismissal of it.

Can you guys wait until this is over before the anti-refugee handwringing starts?

 

[Cappa]

This is just awful. Was watching the football game and heard the explosion.

Makes me feel uneasy having so many refugees without any papers in Europe.

as someone living in Europe... the refugees are not the problem lol. Most of these terrorists were born and/or raised in Europe.

 

[orochi91]

Damn

France's Intelligence Agency seriously dropped the ball here.

 

[Kerned]

Probably misunderstood the meaning of your sentence (not a native speaker).

The person I was was responding to was comparing another poster to ISIS because they were advocating being level headed about a potential response to these attacks. I was just expressing that I don't think it's reasonable to compare other posters to ISIS.

 

[Nuova]

What are you talking about? Jesus christ.

He's saying if it comes out that these were refugees that did this; nations are gonna be a lot less likely to take them in.

 

[pringles]

The explosions could be flash-bangs from the CT team.

I hope so.

I've never had such a sinking feeling in my stomach though.

 

[IrishNinja]

Just had 2 "friends" blame: The liberal agenda and the refugees for this.

man, anyone rushing to politicize this is trash, full stop

 

[superdeluxe]

Video of gunfight

Looks like a still picture?

 

[daviyoung]

Just had 2 "friends" blame: The liberal agenda and the refugees for this.

Americans?

 

[LordAmused]

From TV5 tv, the French Channel in Quebec:

The assault is being given right now in the Bataclan theater.

Trying to report as much as I can what I'm hearing on the TV right now.

 

[Kissenkopf]

What are you talking about? Jesus christ.

But he is right...the people know will be scared even if the refugees are just people who run away from exactly the same terror. But here in germany a lot of people were scared befire and they thought we woul let get terrorist in our country with the refugees and you can think what the people will think now after what happend in paris. Damn...

 

[teruterubozu]

Long-winded ass Christiane Amanpour just loves to hear her own voice. Geeze. Wolf asked one question and she went off for like five straight minutes.

Wolf: "Eagles of Green Metal"
I had to turn off CNN.

 

[Maaaaaardy]

Awful stuff, really can't pull myself away from the TV. ParisGAF, hope all is well as can be.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

this is horrible.

 

[Paracelsus]

Americans?

Yeah, some people also blamed America for this, not kidding.

 

[Kralamoonard]

Anyone have a live report on where I can watch the latest updates?

 

[Chariot]

https://www.reddit.com/live/vwwnkuplwr9y

Good. We don't need up-to-date reports. Just do assaults without our eyes and tell us afterwards. People should've already learned that at Munich.

 

[Chezzymann]

This is horrible

It seems like the terrorists know what they're doing, diverting all the response teams by doing it in 7 locations

 

[Glitchfire]

http://www.france24.com/en/livefeed...ackage-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

Live feed from a french TV station. Probably already posted here, but doubt many people will read all 38 pages.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I think it's nearly impossible to accurately keep up with events like this as they're unfolding.

I hope that when I wake up tomorrow morning, Paris is calm, the death toll is minimal and the healing can begin.

Lots of love to FranceGAF.

 

[Firemind]

This is all so sad.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I hope the best for everyone in Paris, I'm using the topic to be caught up, but may not have much to say but that this is all so dreadful.

 

[ElTorro]

So, German public TV (ARD), whose reporting is very conservative and proclaimed to be based on police reports and French media, summarizes the situation so far as involving attacks at at least 7 different locations.

 

[Djin1979]

itélé :

They said 7 attacks and the assault is on going in the Bataclan

 

[manhack]

Sounds like they are purposely trying to contain the news coverage to avoid alerting the terrorists.

We probably won't have the full picture about what happened for a very long time.

 

[Ovid]

It is a war, whether people want to realize that or not.

Yup.

This is war and traditionally held view of citizens as noncombatants have been thrown out the window.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

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

What we need is unity and love. Not hate.

Oh they'll come together alright, against who is the question

 

[Switch Back 9]

Yeah, some people also blamed America for this, not kidding.

Dude on my Facebook was saying this was America's fault.

 

[Jackl]

How is this still ongoing. I'm not getting the sense that anything is under control out there, hard to separate new reports from the old. Absolutely dreading the official report of what happened at Bataclan.

Terrorists are being smarter about it.

Multiple groups coordinated and attacking across the city stretching police forces thin.

 

[yyzjohn]

Already people yelling falseflag on twitter. Fuck sakes I want to smash some balls.

 

[ClosingADoor]

as someone living in Europe... the refugees are not the problem lol. Most of these terrorists were born and/or raised in Europe.

Pretty much. It's also amazing some people from here can travel to Syria and just come back. Those should all be arrested and locked up, no exception.
