Turned himself in after seeing his name in the news/social media. Supposedly he was at school during the attacks, and his classmates posted this on twitter. But at the same time people are saying he already graduated. Also seen some posts about how there might be another guy with the same name, and they got the wrong person. Kind of too early to tell.
Sure they can but there have been more quotes to me questioning the stupid Foxnews segment than this quote:
Instead of focusing on a random newsclip I'd prefer to focus on the victims, why they were killed and the justification a religion gave them for their murders.

What else is there to say? The attack is a tragedy, any sane person will say that. It's been discussed.
A religion didn't give them justification for the murders. It's a lot more complex than that.
It's also incredibly important how we talk about Muslim Europeans, and especially Arab-Europeans, because how we address the issue colors the way we perceive people. And especially Muslim Europeans are having a really tough time these days, because the way that media and the public construct them, prejudice, generalizations and racism are culled.
No I am not. We are discussing how people all around the world are coming to terms with this event.
It is really terrible and all my emotion is on the innocent lives and their families. Always first and foremost.
Its just as a non American without Fox news I am just blown away by how they can be. Sorry if it was disrespectful in anyway.

The police found the ID of one of the gunmen in the car they abandoned. Most likely it was the one who surrendered himself.
Well we don't quite know the story about the person who has turned themselves in. The two gunmen from the videos have been identified because they found their IDs in a car. Whether they left them behind deliberately or mistakenly we don't know.
Yep, misread that part. I assume they made a mistake since they could launch more attacks if they remained anonymous.
So focus on that and stop policing what other people are supposed to be talking about. That is why your inane post is dominating instead of the ones you want discussed. Discuss them instead of telling other people what to post about.
To me it's rather weird that both IDs would be left behind unless they were both in a single bag or something.
For how sophisticated the attack was that seems very sloppy. It seems to me they expected to not escape, or planted the IDs.

How utterly stupid do you have to be to take your ID on such raid? No, seriously. How. Stupid?

Day 2. It still seems so unreal, and it still sucks so much. Everyone had a long face on the way to work but this might just be our usual Parisian mood.
Bonjour tristesse.

As stupid as someone who murders over a cartoon I suppose.
I don't think people who go on a killing spree over cartoons are exactly quantum physics scientists...

Terrorists? End of the day, they're just scared little men.
Yep and people can tweet whatever they want with no reprisal.
If there was one saying killalljews or Christians and Muslims were tweeting it wouldn't take long to either get account closed or the police at the door.

Since it appears it won't be of use tomorrow; I screen capped it
It's so sad
When you scroll down, you see people reacting against the hashtag, those posts are counted as well. Still sad that such generalization of people exists today.

that's not true
It's mostly populated by people reacting to the hashtag.

"Police say there is no link to the Charlie Hebdo attack." according to BBC.

Edit: Wait, Machinegun?! wow crazy. I hope the incident ends without further casualties.
That brings up an interesting discussion on twitter-etiquette that I won't get into here. When responding to morons, perhaps not including the hatetag would be nice. Anyway, enough about that.

is it easy to get machine guns in the black market in france? or in any country in the EU?
Dutch news site saying no link to yesterday's attacks.
The proximity of the Balkan wars and porous borders have unfortunately made military weapons remarkable easy to procure. Furthermore, a lot gets smuggled in to the EU through Moldova, Transnistria in particular being infamous as a conduit for weapon smuggling.

I hope they are right, crazy timing if true.
It's easy, once you have the right connections. The collapse of the USSR and more recently former Yugoslavia has led to a big black market for military grade weapons.

Is it me or is it awfully quick to decide if it's related or not (in one way or the other)
We don't know the context of the shooting obviously. It might have been a wanted criminal for instance.

The wording is 'no confirmed link to yesterday's assault'.
I'm also readng they made an arrest at the second shooting in Porte de Chatillon (south Paris), possibly two police officers wounded.

2 cops were shot this morning in Chatillon (Paris banlieue) by a guy that appeared to have a bulletproof jacket, they don't know if it's related to what happened yesterday...

Anything is possible but the body armour is a bit off for that scenario.
According to radio there was a car crash (?) and cops that came to the area were recieved with machine gun fire (?). Information is not clear.

Body Amor? I hope this dosnt get worse.
North African like the attackers on Charlie Habdo or Sub-Saharan?
Not specified, also not confirmed. I'm getting info through catalan radio reporting on Le Figaro, so no real details. Suspect apparently known criminal.
