Josh is safe right?

Everywhere I've read says that Josh wasn't at the show and may not even be on the tour. He's safe.

More confirmation from Calais:

Indeed they are probably not old pictures, google image search them and they don't show up anywhere which indicates they are new

 

[Merino]

Look at the title, it says to only post sourced things that arent old. That account is just some random person and no news sites are reporting it

Look at the Twitter stream, there are by now 2 video's posted (including police/fireman response) and more and more sources reporting

 

[Doc Holliday]

Sad day, my condolences to all the victims. I was in NYC during 9-11 and it's such a scary feeling not knowing what will happen next or if loved ones are safe.

Not sure what can be done to stop this :/

 

[Scipio]

I can't believe the news today, can't close my eyes and makes it go away.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

The terrorists had explosive belts (don't know if it's the right term in english) according to BFM

If it's some random asshole with a twitter account forget it.

[Sky Chief]

Do we have timing between different sites? Really wondering if all who were responsible have been detained.

Couldn't tell if it was speculation or not but a reporter on BBC just said there are still gunmen on the loose

 

[Guess Who]

Josh is safe right?

Josh Homme doesn't typically tour live with the band.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Badass reply

Hope this solidarity rings true even after today's horrific events.

 

[UnluckyKate]

ISIS just claimed the attacks as their work. Warns Washington, London and Rome next

 

[Team Alucard]

This piece of shit on MSNBC victim blaming.

Fuck you.

NYT did the same thing after the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

This is one issue that the Left Wing is dead wrong on.

 

[Bossun]

More precisions given on iTélé : not final : 118 dead tonight with around 80 at the bataclan.

 

[psynergylover]

man...those first respondents might need counseling after seeing what they saw in the theater....

 

[orochi91]

This piece of shit on MSNBC victim blaming.

Fuck you Anthony Shaffer.

What did they say?

 

[hwy_61]

banksy made that eiffel tower piece sign thing

 

[SomTervo]

As awful as this is, 100 dead in itself is not justification for a war that will kill many hundreds of thousands of civilians and in the end accomplish nothing. we have learned this lesson too many times.

What's the alternative, though? When they're actively pressing in?

I was actually for airstrikes against Assad, because the situation was as dire as this. And even with today's hindsight I think it would have been the right thing to do. It would have cut short the following years of horror which were inevitable and awful.

 

[Yoshichan]

I can't sleep, this is heartbreaking

me too... i was supposed to go to bed early... now my body is shivering and I'm crying i can't sleep..

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

The West has problems with coming to grips with the fact that ISIS' motivation is a religious prophecy, according to which a war with "the West" will lead to the beginning of the end times, to which these maniacs are looking forward to.

"What ISIS really wants": http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-isis-really-wants/384980/

I wish more people knew this. ISIS is literally trying to kick-start the end times.

 

[Peco]

oh, ok, that's a relief

Where's your source on this?

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Has it already started? Are people already telling us that we brought this all on ourselves?

Finnish right wing shitheads already did it a hour ago, I expect others to do the same. Fucking assholes

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Just wanted to share some jewels I've seen on Facebook.

They took away all the citizens guns over there they can't defend themselves this is what happens in gun free zones how did they get all their bombs and long guns and shotguns in there if you don't you need to start standing for the Second Amendment because in this world you cannot coexist

Obama supplied the weapons for his brothers!

f somebody else in that group would have been armed not as many people would have died tonight so you think about how you want to but one person carrying could have stopped a bunch of it

I'm ashamed to consider myself an American. These ignorant people make me sick.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

So France 24 has updated the death toll to 140 people.

They are very conservative in reporting the situation (not jumping to conclusions), so that is pretty much the current number. Ugh

ISIS just claimed the attacks as their work. Warns Washington, London and Rome next

I think most people figured out there was an ISIS connection pretty early.

 

[bud23]

This is absolutely sickening.

 

[jtb]

More confirmation from Calais:

what exactly are you trying to prove? why are you so eager for this to be a thing?

either it will be true or it won't and some random fuck (who is not posting any photos and has no photo of themselves on twitter) is not going to be the difference

 

[Dishwalla]

Jesus, just woke up from a nap and I see all the notifications on my phone. What is going on in France? Just awful.

 

[Darth Pinche]

[Quazar]

This is just crazy. Feel so bad for all of those affected tonight.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

ISIS just claimed the attacks as their work. Warns Washington, London and Rome next

Zero chance Washington is a possible target, more worried about London

 

[Majukun]

This is absolutely terrifying. 140 dead out of nowhere with no real escalation or forwarning.
My heart goes out to all those touched by the tragedy.

One day this cowardly "war" will have to stop - right?

with this particular terrorist group?sure

but there are dozens more..hell wasn't al qaeda the enemy n.1 until recently?we already forgot about them?

 

[Obliterator]

If this is ISIS the whole Earth needs to agree to just go in and wipe them out. Every last one. They are disease in humanity and they need to be wiped off the face of the planet.

Clean sweep, everything they control gone. Every country against them.

 

[ATF487]

The reports have been hard to read.

One of my old coworkers lives there, hope he's OK and that there are no more casualties

 

[SomTervo]

NYT did the same thing after the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

This is one issue that the Left Wing is dead wrong on.

I don't even know which publications/broadcasters you're talking about, but I can tell you they do not represent "the left wing".

 

[U2NUMB]

I am just finding out about this... so horrible.. why are they showing a football match and then a bunch of people on the field... what happened there??

RIP to those who died .. such a waste of so many innocent people I just dont get this evil in this world.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

wtf

I haven't seen it posted yet:

Drummer stated that everyone from the band is safe

 

[Deadstar]

Are there no security guards at concert venues? How can two people cause such carnage?

 

[Paracelsus]

Has it already started? Are people already telling us that we brought this all on ourselves?

I know you were caught in the whole rush of news but this has happened minutes after few people were confirmed dead. Minutes.

 

[Soulflarz]

Clean sweep, everything they control gone. Every country against them.

FWIW none of us are exactly for ISIS or anything, but that's easier said than done.

 

[Ovid]

Has it already started? Are people already telling us that we brought this all on ourselves?

Yes.

Can't stop watching television, I'm confused, sad and scared.

Also wondering....How will France react and which European city is next?

Not inevitable. Western intervention is partly to blame for the chaos. We had absolutely no idea who we were helping or what we were doing.

Assad is awful but under his rule, Syria was a relatively safe, stable country.

'What's the alternative' - being cautious and careful is something that would benefit everyone. Our reactions to previous atrocities have been a disaster

SH** not Rome!, they are capable of destroying so much remnants of physical history.
