Edit: false (tweet about hollande stroke)

 

[entremet]

All the English language media is reporting things that they source from the French media, which means they are all far behind timewise and actively confusing to cite.

Some English language media have reporters at the scene, though.

 

[Aureon]

What's a Falseflag?

Own government or third party masking as someone else during attack to trigger a war.

 

[wild wild rice]

What's a Falseflag?

A staged terrorist attack designed to manipulate public opinion.

 

[Tenebrous]

And now word is Hollande suffered a stroke tonight too?

Spoof paper. Ignore it.

 

[torre_avenue]

Words fail me. Nothing I can say will mean or do anything to ease the pain all Parisians must be feeling.

But, I pray that the politicians across world will not use this event as further reason to vilify and dehumanize the refugees coming to Europe. I pray that they do not use this event to further encroach on the ideas of liberty by invading privacy and denying freedom of speech. I pray that American politicians do not use this event as further reasons for personal armament and re-invasion of our data. I pray, but I know this will never happen. I know that this event will only increase the hatred of refugees. I know that this event will re-inspire waves of Islamaphobic hate crimes. I know that, regardless of the death toll, this event will be the source of more isolationist. And I know that the scum of Da'esh and other Islamic terror groups will use this as a way to legitimize their power.

Seems a bit unbelievable

 

[Bossun]

What's frightening is that they literally attacked the stadium while the president was there, and some of the attacks happened a few hundreds of meters away from the Charlie Hebdo.

Meaning they attacked a place that was heavily guarded since the January attacks. Just showing that they can attack wherever they want, whenever they want.

 

[Sijil]

Has any group claimed responsibility yet?

ISIS will gladly take credit, but AQAP has a history of doing this. Wonder how France would react if it indeed was an AQAP or AQAP endorsed op considering the situation in Yemen where Frances' ally, KSA, have a detente with AQAP against the Houthis.

 

[Tugatrix]

What does that mean

full alert on hospitals, prepared for major casualties

 

[Psyrgery ES]

POST A FUCKING SOURCE IF YOURE GONNA SAY SHIT LIKE THIS

Following several feeds, they say it could be smoke grenades or flashbangs

 

[Herb Alpert]

le monde is reporting that GIGN is being sent to les halles.

 

[SaviourMK2]

An inside job to push a political agenda.

That the government is behind the attacks to further their own agenda for something. People talking about that are idiots and should be ignored.

inside job / conspiracy theories / bullshit

An inside job.

IE 9/11 Truthers.

Operations by one group pretending to be another. Like if Bush orchestrated 9/11 pretending it was Al-Qaeda, that would be a FalseFlag operation.

A staged terrorist attack designed to manipulate public opinion.

I never heard that term before. Thanks

 

[xVaalbarAx]

I wish FranceGAF to be safe, and the city of Paris is in my thoughts.

 

[Savitar]

An inside job to push a political agenda.

It's what all the anti government people claim any time something happens because they're afraid of losing der guns.

Uneducated if not paranoid people the lot of them.

 

[pringles]

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

Horrible. Those people in there literally had no chance.

 

[King_Moc]

Shouting "God is greatest" while firing indiscriminately into a crowd. I can't even fathom how fucked in the head you need to be to do that. How the fuck can you be "radicalized" into doing that? Surely you just have to be a complete prick and then be gently nudged in the right direction.

Fucking hell, imagine having your life ended by a complete waste of oxygen like that. Doesn't even bear thinking about.

 

[Linius]

Spoof paper. Ignore it.

That's some bad taste then

Tweet link goes nowhere anyways

https://twitter.com/edatpost/status/665312686419214336

It's fake. They tweeted so just after that.

 

[Spirited]

If the media could fucking stop telling us where the police is doing an assault at the moment. Every information could be crucial to the terrorists. We can seriously wait to know about what exactly happens.

Yeah remember the last time when media reported the current position of survivors within the building. (Charlie Hebdo)

Fucking disgusting by them.

 

[Mortemis]

Absolutely sickening. It's tough keeping composed, especially seeing all this brutal stuff on twitter and streams. I should probably stop looking through that.

My heart goes out to those who've lost loved ones, and to those still in this situation. Hope this can end soon.

 

[Darth Pinche]

The sky feed keeps restating old info and video.

Good coverage from french media in english. I have friands locked in a bar. WTF is happening.

 

[NullPointer]

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

It is. There's no coming back from this. Things will change now.

Hold fast to your principles France, they will be tested.

 

[Into]

Ahh, probably just a coincidence, but damn.

Yeah indeed =(


Not to be creative in a time like this but i am imagining Friday the 13th font from the horror movies and beneath it a picture of the Eiffel Tower

 

[Lucius86]

It's clear the intelligence services have failed to some degree to let this atrocity fall through the net, but I do marvel the bravery of the French Police for doing their duty under the greatest of pressure scenarios. Heroes, the lot of them.

 

[JaseMath]

Really eager to hear about the Bataclan situation. Hope it ends with a "positive" conclusion because it sounds absolutely terrifying.

He just gave a press conference. Ignore.

 

[SkylineRKR]

It is. There's no coming back from this. Things will change now.

Europe won't do anything.

 

[Orochinagis]

What did Paris do to be attaked like that, Jesus.

Be safe ParisGaf

Please don't be true. That kind of retaliation is likely exactly what those who planned this wanted to happen.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

What does that mean

All emergency staff are being called in and are to report for duty. Its a means of bolstering hospital capacity and response in a crisis.

 

[iNvid02]

army out to prevent further attacks

 

[Merino]

 

[kruis]

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

Radical islam is the problem. And that's the belief system a significant number of muslim asylum seekers adhere to. If just a tiny minority of all muslims are radicals, if just a minority of that minority will turn to violence, it means that Europe will face more terrorist attacks if the total number of muslims in our community goes up. I simply don't believe that the muslim community is large is capable of reducing extremism. All reports say they're completely blind to it.

 

[Chariot]

What does that mean

"The Orsan plan (plan Orsan) is the emergency plan, in France, to face a sudden increase of activity in a hospital, such as a massive arrival of casualties due to an accident or a disaster"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orsan_plan

[BumRush]

Terrible

Thoughts and prayers for the victims and their families.

 

[TimorousPanda]

Just awful.

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

Europe won't do anything.

Europe might not. But France probably will.

I think it'll be a while before the borders reopen...

 

[kingkitty]

jesus christ

 

[Phoenix944]

Careful if you want to leave Paris, Metro 3, 5, 8, 9 and 11 are closed for now.

 

[Sectorseven]

Is the Bataclan the only active scene left or are there others?

 

[Roberto Larcos]

Les 7 pts d'attaque selon #AFP: SDF, bataclan, bd Voltaire, coin rue Bichat/rue Alibert, av. de la République, bd Beaumarchais; rue Charonne

7 points of attack.

 

[Scotia]

It is. There's no coming back from this. Things will change now.

Hold fast to your principles France, they will be tested.

Exact same thing was said after Charlie Hebdo and here we are

 

[Xando]

So how big is Bataclan? I've read 1.5k people fit in there, is it like a arena?
