Paris Attacks

[Krgrecw]

This is sad and disturbing. Three different attacks in three different locations.

Explosions, gun shots

[weso1]

Just read an update that more than doubled the number of dead, and also possibly hundreds of people currently held hostage at a concert.

[bravesnumberone]

Awful.

[The Chosen One]

Awful.

Yep.

If you guys are on reddit they're updating it with local news and peope in Paris first hand. Better than tv news here.

CNN just showed footage of the soccer game and you could hear the explosions.

If this is ISIS, then that makes Obama look like a damn fool for saying ISIS was contained.

Religion of peace at it again.

I would not want to be a Muslim in Europe now.

The arrested one terrorist

Around 100 people were murdered in the concert hall

Had this attack been planned for awhile or was it a retaliation for the drone strike that supposedly killed Jihadi John?

It's hard to imagine it being a spur of the moment thing.

No way this was that quick for retaliation in less than a day.

This was planned in advanced.

Let's keep an eye on laws passed by EU and France. I really feel like who's going to suffer the most is Syrian refugees who'll now be pariahs in Europe and not really welcome anywhere.

So it was a Friday the 13th attack. Is that even a thing in France?

That is the supermarket video from January right? Not the Concert Hall.

[The Chosen One]

118 dead in concert hall.

Yes, nvm. It was sent to me.

Go read article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. It wasn't just France that was attacked tonight.

World has become way too soft. This is a pest control problem. You have a pest at home you call the exterminator. We need to wake up and take action.

Yeap



iSis is pretty remarkable for a JV team.

[Krgrecw]

Marine Le Pen anyone?

Warning graphic:

Spoiler: 

She's the one who'll benefit the most from this terrorism act.

The nationalist right will rise throughout Europe. Things have been moving that way for the past decade and this will hasten that process. I think this will kill the EU as a political unit. There may still be a lot of formal economic cooperation across borders, but I think everyone will head to their own corners. Again, I think the EU has been coming apart for awhile across a broad range of issues and the Paris attacks will move the disintegration along.
