Terrorist Attacks in Paris

[boujee]

Thank you!

So besides the military going in and state of emergency, etc, what else is being done? Are any other countries sending aid, etc? Sorry I don't have cable or anything (just Netflix/Hulu/etc) so I can't really keep up with anything.

I'm looking at cnn and abc
The president just did his condones to the people lost and how they're about to send aid to France.

Intelligence agencies are working on it. Raids are being carried out every now and then on radicalized individuals or terrorist cells. There was a large one in various European countries just yesterday. There was also another attack being planned in France (specifically an attack on a naval base in Toulon) which was prevented. People are working hard to get these kinds of people before they hurt anyone.

Sadly, the terrorists do sometimes slip through and an attack happens.

I understand that. A lot of terrorist attacks have been prevented throughout the course of the past couple years, but like you said, they sometimes slip through. I hope there's a time when we're able to prevent all terrorist attacks, instead of just most of them.

Geraldo Rivera of Fox News's daughter was in the stadium during the attack...

Belgium has said that they will help France with keeping border regions under control.
At 9am local time, French officials will be coming together to discuss how they will respond.

The US and various other countries have also offered aid.

Edit: I forgot to mention that all public facilities in Paris will be closed tomorrow.

I'm watching Fox News right now and Geraldo Rivera, on TV, is asking his daughter Simone about everything that happened. She's almost crying...

This is why, I'm sorry if I offend some people, I'm agains't 75% of Immigrants, emigrants & migrants. It's my opinion. I personnally feel like, when more and more migrants are running to Europe, the more contacts ISIS will get in Europe. Though some of these are really trying to flee, some are just getting new chances to bomb stuff. I only support migration, if it is legal, and they come with an open mind, not forcing their views like they do in Denmark and other places, where these people are getting mad because the Un-civilized Sharia law won't be put in place.

Btw here's a link to live coverage.

All news sources have bias. Some (like CNN), tend to be more liberal, and some (like Fox) are more conservative. This matter isn't related to politics. It's a terrorist attack that took many people's lives.

So far 158 dead, most from the Bataclan. The death toll will sadly only raise as some of those in critical condition don't make it.

I mean - I don't know much about the whole issue in all honesty, but give them an inch and they'll take a mile. They'll take whatever small chance they can grasp at and use it to a big advantage for their own cause.

this is the uncomfortable truth. that destructive, sexist, ideals that are incompatible with civilised society are woven within archaic religious beliefs that are still held by too many people.

I just saw a report from BBC on it. Explosions could be heard from the concert hall as police came in at the Bataclan.

Actually, they're allies.
Things have been bad for a long time. There was the Lockerbie air disaster in 1988, then the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the Nairobi embassy bombing in 1998, and then 9/11 in 2001. Of course, it's just continued from there.

But I was watching a report on Fox News just about an hour ago and it had been confirmed that one of the attackers said they were part of ISIS.

Just so you know, studies have proven that Fox News lies about pretty much everything. They lie more than any other news network. They are about as credible as the Onion.

There are live Tweets from hostages during the takeover. So heartbreaking to read.

Yeah, My friends were making fun of me for being against these people (Emigrants, Immigrants & Migrants) coming in unattended numbers and unorganized views to Europe.

It is really sad. I've seen so many tweets on it...

According to survivors they didn't shout or proclaim anything. They never spoke. Just shot.

Oh my gosh... I didn't even know about that... My mom turned off the TV as she said it was making her cry...

murder is not islam. these people are not muslims.

There are passages in the Koran telling Muslims to kill. There are passages in the Old Testament telling Jews and Christians to kill. God is all for killing. People who murder in the name of religion are actually following the religion properly.

So, yes. Murder is Islam. Murder is essential in all the current major religions.

There's a video showing how in the France vs Germany friendly you can hear the bomb going off. Not gonna link it in case it's against the rules on this forum, but it's so scary to think how the people in Paris felt. I know the French supporters sang the French national anthem on their way out as an act of defiance. People should keep their spirits up for the people that have been killed and not point fingers, as that's most likely what these so-called men wanted.
