As we try to make sense of exactly what is going on, The Telegraph's David Chazan has this summary of what we know:
http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/...s_1817837a.gif At least 18 people were killed and “many wounded” in a series of attacks in Paris by gunmen armed with kalashnikovs and grenades on Friday evening, police said.
Grenades were reportedly thrown at a stadium in the north of the French capital where a football match between France and Germany was being held, witnesses said.
The first shooting to be reported took place at a Cambodian restaurant in the 10th arrondissement of the city, an area with many crowded bars and restaurants, particularly busy on Friday evening.
A second shooting was reported minutes later near a nightclub in the area, Le Bataclan, where gunmen were said to be holding hostages. Later grenades were said to have been thrown at a stadium in the north of the city where a football match between France and Germany was being held.
Large numbers of police rushed to the scene of the first attack, a Cambodian restaurant in the 10th arrondissement of the French capital. They evacuated nearby bars and restaurants.
The motive of the shootings is unknown, but Parisians feared that terrorists had again attacked the French capital, where 17 people were killed in a series of attacks in January that began with the shootings of staff at the office of the Charlie Hebdo magazine. Sirens were heard throughout central Paris.
Prayers for the victims.
Religion of peace, my ass!
The bad thing is they are saying that no one has been captured yet. I take it the bombers blew themselves up but the guys with grenades and AKs may still be wandering around.
Wonder how many terrorists they have here to deal with?
Same general neighborhood has last one in January.... They attack mostly liberals hipsters... oh the irony.... The Bataclan (a club/concert hall) is often rented for bar mitsva parties and other jewish celebrations. Lets hope it wasn't one tonight.
There was a concert going on tonight, and apparently there are 60 people being held hostage there.Quote:

Are you F'in kidding me?
The "refugee" situation is proceeding as planned.
France has launched a 'terrorist investigation'.. they're not calling it a terrorist attack... Video from the stadium where you can hear one of the explosions. Body count keeps climbing.
They're afraid to call it what it is..
Maybe the Germans are invading again?
Some of the more liberal news outlets are refusing to call it what it is as usual. They are referring to it as "shootings" and "shoot out". [fail]
We can all relax, Obama is going to speak. Maybe he'll call for gun confiscation and universal background checks?
The messiah is going to speak at 5:45. This should be interesting
Thank God they have gun control and unfettered immigration from the third world.
No, that's not quite right.
Thank ALLAH they have gun control and unfettered immigration from the third world ... yeah, that's more like it.
All they need is jobs. Problem fixed. And it's because of a video on YouTube.
Isn't Paris a gun/grenade free zone?
Folks: it could happen anywhere..... Some people, some good people died tonight.
The french GVT just closed all the borders and the state of emergency is in place. known jihadist have been rounded up and arrested.

Be careful out there. This is just a glimpse into the future of Europe, and the US if we don't stop them now.
It absolutely could happen anywhere...because the world continues to accept the reality of the current world situation. Just because you put your head in the sand doesn't mean people with ill intent won't stab you in the butt.Quote:

Bataclan still has hostages and shots fired. Why aren't SWAT taking the building?
You gave me this wonderful picture in my head of that act and it made my day. Cheers Ginsue [Beer]Quote:

Yep fully agree. But now let's face it: Nobody in europe really wants them...nobody. But, they don't have a choice. There is no way to stop them. Imagine if south of mexico we had a bunch of muslim nations and that all at once they decide to move north.... who will stop them? how could we stop them? Mass genocide? That's a sensitive issue here, so imagine how sensitive it is in europe, where it is still a fresh memory....Quote:
