France-- not crying over them unless American tourists were in the way


Didnt they notice all the white flags around, that should have worked wonders

I am sure some of you youngsters don't remember our war planes being told to fly around France to get to their targets.

It's way too early for any detailed reporting to be accurate... every news outlet is saying something different. A bunch of people are dead. A bunch of people, probably more than are dead, have been taken hostage. It seems there were three simultaneous attacks at three different locations across Paris. A concert hall, a stadium, and a restaurant.

You referring to the Great Britain based F-111s that had to go around France during the strikes on Libya back in the 80s. You do know France is an independent country which means they are free to do what they want with their airspace? They're not a puppet state. And that was 30 years ago? Hope you are aware France has been leading a lot of anti terrorist strikes the last 10 years including putting boots on the ground in many places which is one of the reasons they're the target for many of these attacks.

Bataclan attacker reported to have explosives
Posted at 22:52
One of the attackers at the Bataclan has explosives, according to a Liberation journalist quoting a police officer at the scene.

Meanwhile Julien Pierce, a Europe 1 journalist who was inside the Bataclan, has described what he saw:

"Several armed men came into the concert. Two or three men, not wearing masks, came in with what looked like Kalashnikovs and fired blindly on the crowd.

"It lasted between 10 and 15 minutes. It was extremely violent and there was panic. The attackers had enough time to reload at least three times. They were very young."

Remember all those refugees that have been flooding Europe lately and it been odd that nearly all are young males? If I was in Europe right now I would be very worried.

Yep. We will welcome them with open arms, feed them and house them and they will kill us all while we are told to not judge them on it.

Because if they do anything it will be the NRA's fault.

I say it's time to take the gloves off again but unfortunately we have a president who will just want to apologizes for whatever we did to anger them.

We can't take gloves off, we will always be the blame and it would be spun against us.

Additional shooting and explosions at various locations throughout the city. The lines are definitely blurring... it's far from a contained event.
