Paris Attacks, Terrorism in France

[Catholic]

At least 40 people are dead. Information still coming in, but 100 people believed to be held hostage.

Damn.

 

[Jock]

Their president just announced they're closing borders and calling in military support. Coordinated attacks in several places.

 

[Almalexia]

Un-fricking-believable.

Is this some kind of retaliation for killing Jihadi John?

Why is France getting hit by this stuff so much lately? I'm not very much in the proverbial loop, but aren't they generally one of the more accommodating nations in regards to Islam? I mean, I guess it's not confirmed Islamic terrorists yet, but I mean, probably.

This is awful, regardless.

I was thinking maybe the same, Swadian, but they probably couldn't have coordinated all this in such a short time.

 

[Radalan]

Can't confirm but this is being circulated:

The reported 100 hostages inside the Bataclan are being slaughtered one by one with a shotgun for over an hour, according to various reports.

 

[Jock]

Yeah.

 

[Swissky]

I had hoped that the attack in January would be the last.

Doesn't really matter to the extremists how accommodating you are. You either submit or you're the enemy.

 

[TheFlyingFishy]

Well, yea, but you'd think they'd go at the people who are actively hating on Muslims.


People texting from the stadium begging for a raid as they're being slaughtered. This is beyond ****ed.

Not from the stadium, from the concert hall

Spoiler: One of them

 

[Ambalon]

Un-fricking-believable.

I know this isn't what the expression means to convey, but it's actually pretty believable and expected to be honest.

 

[Catholic]

This is sad. :/

 

[BlackTide]

I work in central London and the tube already scares the **** out of me. I'd be petrified and useless if anything like this went down, it's actually frightening to think about what I'd do.

 

[Jock]

Makes you wonder how many people die to terrorist groups and warlords every day that we don't even hear about.

 

[Xardob]

Shots and explosions were heard at the Bataclan (club where the hostages are held).
