Paris terrorist attacks and hostage situation

[Charismatic]

Unfortunately, this is the near future / status-quo for European countries.

I wonder how long before this gets taken down again.

Note: BBC is confirming "Calais fires" as false, while Twitter posters are putting up photos of a burning camp.

NYT reporting via French sources that grenades were thrown at the crowd in the concert hall.

People on my FB already posting about how "France has strict gun controls but how could this happen with all them controls?!"

I hate people

French Interior Ministry deploying about 1,500 soliders to France. MI5 sending in their counter terrorist experts. US thinks this to be an attack by al-Qaeda (due to the coordination), but not ruling out ISIS.

ABCNews was reporting the FBI had a command center up to assist France as well. Expect an uptick in security here in the US this weekend

False shit making the rounds:

Belgian borders closed. (They aren't.)
Calais refugee camp on fire. (old photos)
Eiffel Tower switching off lights due to emergency. (it always does late at night)

[TummieGaruda]

I am wondering what the motive for this was

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if NORAD places us into DEFCON 4.

I already unfriended someone who wants to "do away with the threat of Islam and Muslims once and for all."

Good riddance.

The camp is on fire, dude just retweeted that he's on site and photos are recent.

Videos coming out of the boombs in the stadium, and of the gunfire from people who lived downtown near the restaurants/venue.

They thought South Park was produced in Paris

Cnn reporting 112 dead at the concert hall alone

The interior ministry said at least 112 people died at Bataclan.

[Airenn]

I see 118, but still that same amount too many.

This really puts a damper on our drone-striking Jihadi John earlier today.
