This seems like a maximum psychological terror attack. I doubt the gunmen have any intention of trying to escape. Hostages are just to draw out the terror as long as possible. Shoot people one at a time and if they get rushed, just detonate so you can take military/law enforcement with you. Absolute evil.

 

[SwolBro]

it's time to call this out for what it is. this is a war of ideas, of really poor ideas with theological underpinnings.

enough dancing around it.

 

[Ether_Snake]

If you are feeling uneasy about refugees then the terrorist have done their job in making you fear 'outsiders'

Doubt that's their goal.

 

[Anion]

Seems like a very trained, coordinated, desperate group...also rehearsed and clever enough to evade Interpol and what not.

 

[MrHoot]

Still waiting on a news from friend. Corinne Porta, was near the location when the events happened. If anyone there happens to know her

 

[Phoenix944]

Assault on Bataclan right now ?

 

[Dryk]

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...

It's the natural response but it's also a great recruiting tool for these people. Just once I'd like to see them not immediately provoke the reaction they wanted

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Sky's playing the video from 15-20 minutes ago, someone posted here already...

Which video? Thread's moving so fast.

 

[Shake Appeal]

France's Intelligence Agency seriously dropped the ball here.

In what epistemic universe are you where this is a claim you can make with any certainty.

 

[UFO]

Whoa this is crazy. I wonder who's behind al this, gotta be ISIS right?

Stay safe Euro-GAF.

 

[devilhawk]

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

These large scale terror attacks do have one major commonality.

Something more positive. Stay strong Paris!

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Stop watching CNN.

Their coverage of this is terrible.

This.

Watch BBC or Sky News if you want great coverage, stick to CNN or Fox if you want flashy graphics and theme songs.

And if you have a weak stomach and don't want to see graphic pictures, avoid twitter links.

 

[Jacobi]

Doubt that's their goal.

Why not? More racism more people going over to fanaticism

 

[Tugatrix]

Assault on Bataclan right now ?

yep it's happening

 

[Wind's Howling]

I have to go sleep but I sincerely hope the hostage situation will end soon and that that will be the end of it in Paris.

The constant stream of unconfirmed reports is making my mind go crazy.

 

[Kraftwerk]

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

Jesus..falseflag for what?

 

[FF Seraphim]

This fucking insane, I fear whatever action will be taken now to combat this.

 

[JeffZero]

Still waiting on a news from friend. Corinne Porta, was near the location when the events happened. If anyone there happens to know her

I'll keep both ears glued to the radio. Best of luck.

 

[Stereogatari]

Homogeneous populations similar to Japan or South Korea, unfortunately that ship has literally sailed, so its just going to be more Patriot Act stuff and 1984-esque surveillance.

You are right. It's not racist to admit that.

If there's 7 separate attacks, surely the authorities have apprehended some of the attackers, right?

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

I thought he said "dream" metal. I was like damn Wolf you know of a subgenre I don't?

CNN is pretty ridiculous when it comes to anything live reporting.

 

[Lifejumper]

Dutch news NOS doing excellent reporting. kinda proud.

 

[Ovid]

Whoa this is crazy. I wonder who's behind al this, gotta be ISIS right?

Stay safe Euro-GAF.

NBC is saying possibly Al-Qaeda.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

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.

The CNN report was a direct, one-on-one report, with Wolf Blitzer interviewing a first-hand witness. And the interview finished within minutes of your post.

I don't know why you are trying to limit what news sources are allowed in a case like that, simply because the network originates from the US.

 

[Rktk]

Some eyewitness reports at The Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/nov/13/shootings-reported-in-eastern-paris-live?CMP=fb_gu

 

[twobear]

the guardian's reporters have statements from people who were inside the bataclan (warning: makes for uncomfortable reading)--has the situation there ended? one of them says that police entered the building and told hostages to run.

[SmackAttack]

I'm so lost here. Last I saw there were not 40 dead. How is it getting so much worse by the minute?

 

[Future Foundation]

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

Americans?

Seriously, stay off of social media. The amount of people using this to further some agenda are fucking gross.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Glad there is a bit of a blackout from the Bataclan makes me hopeful the police have a plan in action

 

[Kuldar]

Police asked TV news chanel to stop direct broadcast from Bataclan site few minutes ago. source iTélé.

 

[Lonestar]

Which video? Thread's moving so fast.

https://twitter.com/dihlaz_Y/status/665290545930088449/video/1

Think that was the tab I still had open, that's the same video. Video says 3:10 pm, not sure what timezone they are in, but I don't think it's over 2 hours old.

 

[RyudBoy]

Damn, this is terrible.

Silly question, but is it still Friday the 13th over in France?

 

[ICKE]

When they find out all the perpetrators, I want people to be held accountable.Relatives who knew, Church leaders who were part of this ideology and so on. This is a huge security problem and we have hundreds of thousands pouring in without any supervision.

The political ramifications will be significant. Fuck this day...

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

I'm almost curious if someone inside has a Periscope.

This is such a goddamn shame. My thoughts are with Paris. I'm watching a livestream of the scene now, with no news dialogue over it. Found it on Reuters live update feed.

 

[GhostWriter24]

French police are dark right now to prevent leaks that could compromise operation, apparently.

 

[Majukun]

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.

it's not like having any papers matters at all
anyone can become a terrorist since now ideologies..being them good or bad,travel in 0 seconds due to the internet

many of the guy fighting for ISIS were sons of immigrants who were born and raised in europe,,and probably many of the terrorist that made these attacks haven't just arrived in france

 

[Oersted]

Damn, this is terrible.

Silly question, but is it still Friday the 13th over in France?

No

 

[LordAmused]

Woman on TV5 right now says lots of dead and injured at Bataclan. She said she was very lucky because it "was a carnage".

 

[Viruz]

J'en ai marre!

 

[orochi91]

I'm so lost here. Last I saw there were not 40 dead. How is it getting so much worse by the minute?

It gets worse because the attackers haven't been stopped/apprehended yet.

 

[Kaladin]

Vice News reporting:

On social media, the attack is being discussed using an Arabic hashtag which translates to "Paris is in flames."

Some have used the tag to celebrate the attack — and many on Twitter quickly linked the hashtag with Islamic State sympathizers.

Is quite rare to apprehend these kinds of attackers on such a situation like this.
If there was one there should be a report of some kind.

 

[TheOddOne]

Jesus.

 

[yyzjohn]

Jesus..falseflag for what?

Who knows. Everything is a supposed conspiracy nowadays. No thought or sympathy for the victims at all. World is fucked up.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Jesus..falseflag for what?

Cry false flag now, figure out what it's for later!
