1am now, better sleep.

Much love France/FrenchGAF.

I'm genuinely terrified to go to bed. I dread to think of what I'll wake up to.

[Paracelsus]

Wait, this isn't only at a football game? I only read this as it was breaking and now I'm hearing 150 or so confirmed dead and something about an Eagles of Death Metal concert?

Can't see well, but France flag colours I'm assuming?

French flag colours, but rotated to fit the antenna.

I'm not sure if drinking tonight will make me even more depressed or what. God

honestly I don't believe something is absolutely set in stone.

It can happen.

You honestly think 60 million non muslim brits would stand by and let 2m muslims allow sharia law to pass? At that point vigilante masses start forming..

I apologize I haven't kept up with the details. Do we know who is behind this attack?

Awesome.

 

[Tesseract]

Even if you lose your family to airstrikes as "collateral damage" (read: civilian casualties), there is no justification for these kinds of attacks on innocent civilians. They just want to live their lives. They do not fight you. They do not harm you. They do not hurt you. Why can't you just leave them be?

you can't sweep collateral damage under the rug

 

[More Fun To Compute]

There are 60 million people living in Great Britain... Don't be an idiot.

Yeah. The vast majority of UK population are non religious. The idea of islamic law doesn't appeal to atheists.or jedi much.

Nice touch

 

[chadskin]

Technically yeah - it would be up to France (and NATO) to determine if they believe ISIS's "caliphate" to be a sovereign nation. If they decide it is, then France invokes article 5 and the bombs start dropping.

The US invoked article 5 after 9/11.

On September 12th, the North Atlantic Council met again in response to the appalling attacks perpetrated yesterday against the United States.
The Council agreed that if it is determined that this attack was directed from abroad against the United States, it shall be regarded as an action covered by Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, which states that an armed attack against one or more of the Allies in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all.

RIP to all. This is so terrible

 

[Starfield]

François Hollande at Bataclan minutes ago:


The terrorists who were here have been killed
I admire all the services who were here tonight - doctors, firefighters, etc.
Many here are killed, injured or shocked
I wanted to be there, show that we will fight and show no mercy. France is united, unafraid, and showing infinite emotion tonight.

You wouldnt wanna believe how fucked hospitals right now are. As a paramedic myself I dont even wanna imagine the chaos that is happening there right now. This is literally the worst of the worst of the worst.

I can tell you what: I live in a town with a population of 44.000 people. We have a big hospital and in case of an incident our hospital can take....1-2 severly insured people + 7-8 non-severly insured people.

This is insane.

 

[sangreal]

whats this im hearing about 35 dead at an eagles of death metal concert?

Jesus christ. has there ever been that big a tally at a concert? good lord. besides the obviously terrible tragedy of the victims I cant even begin to imagine how the band feels

the station night club fire in providence, the 2002 moscow theater attack. Sadly, probably plenty more.

 

[Dangerblade]

Sometimes I think how fucked up the world is, then I realise the world is beautiful and it is in fact the human race that is fucked up. Sigh.

Calais has gone back and forth, with people saying that the pictures may be wrong, whilst others have apparently contacted the site and confirmed a fire - which, as noted above, may be an accident. I apologise for my initial link being leading.

Wikileaks CM gone mad and is comparing deads in France and in Syria / Lybia each time the number of dead people is updated.

Via Reddit Livestream thread.

Although take with a grain of salt, CNN is trash.

 

[MIMIC]

CNN (via BFMTV): Gunmen still at large; unclear how many

Also, I don't think it's a good idea to regularly update the death toll. I've seen at least 4 different figures in the last minute. 100+ seems to be the most accurate picture.

 

[7threst]

It's true though. It happened this evening but apparently it was an unrelated accident.

By now there are about 14 unique sources reporting with their own video/pictures.

Reports are conflicting. Some say candles caused it, others say it's refugees themselves and then others say it is old pictures.

 

[Oersted]

Yea I mean who remembers Afghanistan and 9/11.. -.-'

9/11 was mostly committed by people from Saudi Arabia. A western supported dictatorship. A dictatorship which currently drops US-manufactured cluster bombs on Yemeni civilians and beheads more people than Isis.

Does France go to war?

 

[TheOddOne]

I apologize I haven't kept up with the details. Do we know who is behind this attack?

No one has claimed this attack.

- LA Times has a good write up.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

In other news , multiple sources on the ground compiled by r/syriancivilwar , The Syrian army is steamrolling the rebels and ISIS in Aleppo as we speak .

 

[XenogearsX]

RIP, terrorists are such cowards attacking unarmed innocent civilians. Hope the terrorists get brought to justice

See this is what its all about. Everyone looking out for each other. Now if we could only explain the simplicity of this to the religious nutters of the world, we might stand a chance.

There's something symbolic feeling about the fact that this is the WTC. I can't articulate my thoughts about it but it just seems nice.

It was six close to one another, and one further away, not all over Paris.
