Explosions and gunfire in Paris

[Snow Queen]

5 attackers just at the concert hall, or 5 attackers in total?

I would think it would take more than 5 people to pull off all of these coordinated attacks.

Total, at least that's what's being reported on Sky News.

 

[terry78]

5 is way too low a number.

 

[X Knight]

Total, at least that's what's being reported on Sky News.

ah, ok.

but I'm sure they will find way more people involved than that.

 

[jmc]

Don't see how 5 is too low, it only takes one lunatic to kill dozens of people.

 

[Snow Queen]

Several dozen people made it out of the concert hall, hiding between seats in the main gallery and on the upper level, but apparently up to 120 are dead. At least that's what I'm hearing on Sky News.

 

[Sithborg]

5 is way too low a number.

5 is probably the confirmed number. There is still a manhunt.

 

[Marvolo]

Just found out about this. What a ****ing senseless tragedy.

Paris's borders are closed and this is the first mandatory curfew since 1944. Hope they catch or kill all those responsible for this.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

this is a complete travesty and I'm disgusted by the actions taken by these cowards.

If only we could just send in the Justice League or Avengers to take care of this. But life isn't that easy. A sad day indeed.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

and now I'm hearing that there were 6 attack sites in total. 140 killed.

Is this the worst terrorist attack in the western world since 9-11?

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I don't understand it.

People actually think a higher power wants them to slaughter innocent people.

 

[Schlosser85]

Can we please just nuke the bastards????!!!

ISIS is not a nation. That's the problem.

 

[Mysteryman]

I don't understand it.

People actually think a higher power wants them to slaughter innocent people.

That's just their excuse for the Evil that they commit.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

That's just their excuse for the Evil that they commit.

These are suicide missions.

They really think 72 virgins are waiting for them in Heaven.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Is this the worst terrorist attack in the western world since 9-11?

No. But it's up there.

The Madrid bombing killed nearly 200 people

 

[Sawyer]

I don't look forward to seeing certain sects of twitter a**holes using this as an excuse to bash Muslims and victim blame for not having guns on hand.

 

[Thundercrack85]

This is becoming disturbingly routine. It is time to eradicate ISIS and its sympathizers.

 

[PacificBoy]

Woke up to this terrible news. To think my uncle and his partner were there just a week ago. CNN reporting 153 dead and counting...

Easier said than done.

Any tragedy can be spun into a pro and con debate. Is what it is.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Total, at least that's what's being reported on Sky News.

Not possible. 4 dead at the concert, whomever attacked the Stade de France, and the two restaurant attacks. Have to be more people.

 

[Sithborg]

Already happening.

Which adds a whole new layer of nausea to an already sickening situation.

 

[Tilapia]

Hard to imagine something like this happening in a major US or European city, but it's possible now. Usually it's a one shot attempt with a bomb or what not, but we have an entire organized cell as culprits here. I really don't know how this is even possible. How can they continue to recruit people at this rate? Where are they getting their crop? It can't just be young boys that grew up in war torn Iraq and Syria. These had to be French nationals or European nationals at the very least. Is the European economy that bad that people have to resort to radicalism to end their miserable existence? This is really a new level of terrorism we haven't seen in modern history.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Easier said than done.

It takes real armies. Not just potshots from the sky.

 

[PacificBoy]

Definitely. The coordination and scale suggest more accomplices and behind the scenes people.

 

[terry78]

Disenfranchised middle class people from all walks of life. They're not just recruiting third world types.
