Considering the fact they live with the threat on a daily basis, I'd say they know a bit more than hipsters on red cafe and other social media. Also, the idea they shoot people in the street for fun and impose blockades for the sake of it is absolute madness. Who in their right mind believes that?

In terms of the fight or flight response, it probably leaves our brain just a mess of confusion knowing we stand little chance in a fight whilst having nowhere to run. If you think of the guys on the train that took down the terrorist, they had military training and the confidence and skills to pull it off. Not easy for the average civilian to do something like that.
pretty sick stuff. Aren´t local elections in france in about two weeks? This might have an impact.
They are dealing with a very unusual and tough situation and they are going live to the whole world.
Shut up about Israel now, it's not the time. There's a massive feck-off thread for you to give your two cents to their situation, and there are plenty of posters who'll love to debate with you about it. But in this thread, at this time, it's not wise to bring them up.
Well hopefully they are ok too.
I'm not sure. The only big thing that was announced for the next few weeks in Paris is a major world conference on climate changes, the biggest since Kyoto.
It must be said, though, selected news agencies in France have been remarkably efficient.

Cannot believe it. What is the world coming to?
R.I.P to all those that have been killed in such a tragic attack. Horrible news.

Saw a poll earlier today that had Le Pen leading the three-way contest for the Presidency. I imagine this will strengthen her lead.
It's not that hard to refrain from repeating "news" (generally tweets) you have not sourced/verified.
As I posted in the Sharm thread, it is characteristic of islamic terrorists (compared to other movements) that they do not claim responsibility or make demands.
you on a WUM?
Absolutely sickening events, how can people be so cruel? What is the solution?
R.I.P to those deceased.

Nah, I didn't get who it was. I turned on the BBC news and a guy was talking on the phone with some eye witness and he first asked him if he could see bodies still on the street, then asked him how many there were, it was ridiculous. A couple of others on here confirmed that's what he asked.
Now we have this woman giving out rumours via 'social media'. It's quite pathetic.
Are you seriously advocating going after the families of these terrorists. Or just shooting people in the roads? Would that be any less terrorism than this?
Why stop there? Nuke the middle east and deal with the problem once and for all! Cause warmonger logic says so.
Anyway, time to stop derailing the thread.
for the loved ones and friends of posters on here who are safe. Just so glad.
I texted my daughter over here not to go to concerts/cinemas whatever. She is in another state. Paranoid perhaps. So what.
Be safe people.

Relieve seeing people checking in from Paris that I didn't even know were there :O
It was a fella on bbc24 interviewing a cameraman at the restaurant. I switched over to Sky at that point. Disgusting to ask that ffs!
Its ISIS. We all know. Its because of France's campaign in Syria.
Say what you will about social media, but in times like this it can really help ease some peoples' mind.
If others know people in or around Paris, Facebook set up this https://www.facebook.com/safetycheck/paris_terror_attacks. Do note of course that just because someone didn't check in doesn't mean something horrible happened!
Regional elections in early December
France is a country with loads of criminals and potential terrorists living in it, on top of that it's the center of western Europe, the Police have a lot to do.
@Mutter Merkel Stop baiting posters to reply to your nonsense. Not the time or the place.
Guy on Reddit who was apparently inside the Bataclan. Horrible.

Was at the Bataclan like an hour ago during the shooting. The guy entered through the front door, probably firing like 60 rounds by clips of 30 I would say. The crowd collapsed and we were all laying on the ground.
The guy just fecking spread on the pit, I just prayed not to get hit. People managed to get out by crawling on the stairs of the nearest exit. I just did the same, crawling over other people on the stairs like a fecking cockroach fighting for his life.
Don't know about the performers.

I cannot imagine how mentally strong those special forces have to be knowing fully well that their own lives are at stake when they have to fight terrorists.
Front National will get a boost from this. As if it wasn't bad enough.
Been watching SKY news myself and it hasn't been mentioned once...Glad I've stuck with them and not the beeb, sounds like they were just reporting anything they were seeing on twitter.
I said target the houses of the families of those terrorists identified, not necessarily to bulldoze all of them, but to bring in intelligence and to bring some level of accountability to this madness. Are you seriously suggesting my comment is even suggesting anything remotely close to "nuking the middle east". For goodness sake, man.
True, but it's not like anyone will feel very sorry if ISIS, the most likely candidates, are being "unjustly" accused.
Some of the posts in this thread are mental.
"Bomb the whole middle east, lets torture them, bomb their houses"
"Bomb the whole middle east, lets torture them, bomb their houses"
Again, something else from another forum that I don't have a source for...
"ISIS just claimed the attacks as their work. Warns Washington, London and Rome next"
"ISIS just claimed the attacks as their work. Warns Washington, London and Rome next"
That's for sure
Yeah your initial comment was pretty obvious in what it meant
The fact that they recently issued a direct threat to Russia is not helping them taking off the "guilt" of having perprated the attacks in Paris.
A guy heard detonations an hour ago, at least that's what he said on BFMTV.
It's terrifying.
