[valkillmore]

Damn

oh my fucking god this keeps getting worse

 

[Hoo-doo]

Hunt these fuckers. Be ruthless in their long, slow, merciless deaths.

I'm almost cutting myself on all that edge.
Can we skip this knee-jerky melodramatic bloodlust? It's helping no-one. Ofcourse we want justice, but you sound like a complete psychopath yourself.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

I don't think that was related. That tweet was made 4 hours ago

Well shit... that almost got me again. Ok, check date and time. Stupid twitter.

 

[Spinluck]

Absolutely gut wrenching.

Stay safe Paris-GAF

Cannot believe they're still playing.

 

[Yoshichan]

Löfven posted this:

Med chock och sorg mottar vi rapporterna från Paris och följer utvecklingen minut för minut. Jag tänker på och känner starkt med offren, deras anhöriga och det franska folket. Vi står enade med Frankrike i denna mörka stund.

I love you Löfven... thank you for this

 

[Jacobi]

Are all of them caught and dead now?

 

[Zabant]

So when tea party say they want unethical changes to the us laws based on what they believe in according to the constitution, do you agree with them that they are doing it with sound judgement ? Ha

Of course not why on earth would you think I would?

My point was that those people all describe themselves as moderate muslims and many folks have shown in this thread that they don't understand what moderate muslims actually believe.

How do you "finish the job" exactly? Eradicate the entire region?

It's an ideology that can spread as easily as posting on social media. I know you're scared and you want to feel safe knowing there's a solution but it's very likely you will have to live with this for your entire lifetime. Would finishing the job stopped people like the Boston bombers who never went to Syria or Iraq? How about that guy in Tennessee who went on a shooting spree after being recruited online?

Ironically, stuff like the NSA spying is probably the most viable way to stop stuff like this. But is that something you're ready to accept?

Exactly.

you weren't fast enough in that edit

we know what you said

i don't know whats worse

that people like you post this

or how cool you think it looks

 

[MIMIC]

Well now MSNBC is also reporting that the assailants may still be at large

Both CNN and MSNBC citing French sources

EDIT: "Some" assailants, not all.

[depths20XX]

This news is making me feel terrible. This thread feels like a whirlpool right now though. Too much to download at once. Need a break.

Hope things don't get worse.

 

[UnrealEck]

Just heard about the hostages. Unbelievable. What is this accomplishing?

Fear is what Islamic and Christian religion uses to establish itself.

Omg fucking fox news saying the Eiffel tower went dark and they have video. They showed a vine as proof and the date, which was clearly visible, was January 8.

You are projecting their image as moderate Muslims because they said so, it doesn't make them moderates if they say so unless you want people to think such idiots are moderates

 

[KAP151]

CNN

 

[Ovid]

Yes, two are unaccounted for.

The ones that attacked the restaurant.

 

[Count Dookkake]

There is no hope for diplomatic solutions with this enemy. The only possible victory comes with conditions that are unpalatable to most of the world.

This is beyond fucked.

 

[eerik9000]

Damn, Fox News showed an image from the cafe with bodies everywhere.

They did warn about showing it, make your kids leave and everything, but I feel sick.

Well, based on how MPAA ratings work, violence and death is okay, it's the nudity that's bad.

 

[Azuran]

100+ dead wow... I have no words. This is just gut wrenching.

 

[King_Moc]

Hunt these fuckers. Be ruthless in their long, slow, merciless deaths.

You beat them by being better people than them and not letting their shit change you. You never sink to their level.

to be fair, gaffers are doing the same thing with posts here. Can't expect much better from FOX News.

Yeah I think there has to be. We were getting reports of other shootings after the Concert hall was already attacked

Nice edit.

 

[sora87]

Please don 't say this

I'm sorry, I just don't see how this sort of conflict can be opposed, there's no possible way to police every gig, restaurant, sporting event. It's such a scary time.

 

[Lutherian]

So, Le Pen easy will be the next president, but I really hope she is not, because a France radicalized only will mean a terrorist victory.

My thoughts, exactly.

 

[YankeeDonB]

Isis is a blip in history and this will only hasten their demise. There will be a war coming to Isis on a bigger scale soon

Isis may be a blip, but extremism and terrorism aren't going anywhere. It's like squeezing a balloon-just bulges out somewhere else. Each new attempt to root out extremism in the ME just further destabilizes the region, and leads to a new crop of disenfranchised people ripe for radicalization. The terrorists aren't state actors, and they don't rely on a territory for strength but an ideology. You can't effectively make war against ideology, only hope to supplant it.

It's depressing and scary, but this is the world we live in for the foreseeable future.

Heart goes out to those in Paris, and everyone else on this tilting war-torn planet.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Paris is closing down in response to this assault.

In a tweet from the city’s official account, authorities say “all of the city’s amenities”, including schools, museums, libraries, gyms, swimming pools and markets, will close on Saturday.

Isis needs a hammering I have been calling for It for a year. War is justified now against them

 

[Scipio]

So a choice between liberty and security. That's no choice at all.

 

[caleb1915]

Yes they believe it themselves, my question is simple, when these idiots call themselves moderates do you believe they are in fact moderates or do you only believe that it is their view that they are moderates. There is a major difference

Ok that is much clearer thank you, and I agree with that. The people claiming to be moderate muslims while still wanting the rule of the land to be Sharia Law are merely saving face.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

Some other ones:

The world is with you France.

 

[Bread]

You beat them by being better people than them and not letting their shit change you. You never sink to their level.

I don't think that will effect them, really.

 

[FootballFan]

Fuck, Martin Kelly, the Crystal Palace and Ex-Liverpool footballer was believed to have been at one of the restaurants attacked:

Wow

 

[TheOddOne]

 

[FlammableD]

Maybe I'm cynical, but saying we should bomb ISIS in response to an ISIS terrorist attack isn't "disrespect."



You lost me here.

Because "ISIS" is not a fucking target you can point to on a map, you're essentially saying let's indiscriminately bomb some brown people

 

[Spirited]

Found this while looking around for statements from Swedish politicians.

Well one more stupid statement by our vice-primeminister here in Sweden.

"The very serious events in Paris can now be difficult for the climate summit in December, when over 100 heads of government are planning to participate"

That's not the thing you're supposed to say after a thing like this.

 

[Vegito]

Ill be surprised if france doesnt retaliate in some way.

 

[Fury451]

One world trade center now in NY

Heartbreaking and awesome simultaneously.

Have no words for this, but I'm in utter disbelief. My heart goes out to France and those murdered tonight.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Perhaps a reactive attack in response to the drone killing of Jihadhi John?

 

[TheLaughingStock]

Hunt these fuckers. Be ruthless in their long, slow, merciless deaths.

Do you believe that's going to bring closure?

 

[marrec]

The Guardian

I'm wondering if they are going to discourage the kind of large gatherings that happened after the Charlie Hebdo attacks.

 

[Hcoregamer00]

153 dead now.

Well, the death toll varies between the multiple news sources.

The most important part is not the number, even one death from this heinous act is one too many. The most important part is that for many people, they just expected to have a normal night, and many of those who died didn't expect that they would not be coming home tonight.

Each death is another person who just wanted to "enjoy their Friday night," they are not warriors, just ordinary people, doing ordinary life.

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Omg fucking fox news saying the Eiffel tower went dark and they have video. They showed a vine as proof and the date, which was clearly visible, was January 8.

Let me know if they apologize for it, or just pretend it never happened.

 

[Stike]

Terrorism -> war -> more terrorism -> more war -> ...

I can't see the vicious cycle ending unless someone is ballsy enough to stop the madness.

 

[Culex]

This is beyond fucked.

This is basically Boko Haram, only worse. You cannot deal with it, as there are multiple parties/sects/warlords, etc all under the guise of an ideal.

 

[metalslimer]

RIP to the victims. There is nothing more I can say.

 

[Funky Papa]

Her Twitter avatar is just perfect.

What an idiot.
