Sad day for Paris and the world.
Hiya Don, truly horrific.
Indeed, Don! Once again we see how deranged people can inflict such unspeakable horror on so many innocent people.
POTUS goes to Paris at the end of November.
I missed him.
He said what you would expect him to say.
Lol, yes he did, thanks Don, :)
Hiya sherijr, just click on the video and forward a bit, you’ll see POTUS.
thanks Chips, did read it on the BBC.. following along w/ them now. All so sad.
Has anyone claimed responsibility for this act, those cowards love taking responsibility, show your face or name your group.
not so far.
If this is ISIL, they *want* to provoke a response. They *want* the US/Europe to send a military force to the Levant.
I’m screaming ‘there NEEDS to be a response’ right now, which, of course, is what they want - and how the **** do you respond any way? Hollande has just said France is closing its borders, this is a nightmare.
And of course, you do know who’ll get it in the neck for all this? The refugees. “See, there were sleepers in all the millions of people fleeing to us! Close the borders! Put them in camps!”
Absolutely, and I fear for their safety all over Europe tonight, and for their future.
i hope that does not happen
Thanks for the link, Meta.
You’re very welcome, Susanne.
thanks meta.
POTUS just said he would be talking with the PM of France in the coming days, and what was the question one of the idiot press yell to POTUS? Any change in your plans? If there were wouldn’t he had said so.
Damn jackals.
My condolences to the many bereaved; do they expect to win converts after terrorising people going about their business? Very sad day in
Paree
President Hollande is LIVE now.
He also said that attacks are still ongoing.
THEY HAVE TO GET INTO THAT THEATRE……………
HEARING SCREAMS AND GUNSHOTS…6-8 TERRORISTS INSIDE…NOTHING TO LOSE…THEY NEED TO CHARGE THAT THEATRE…KILLING ONE BY ONE!
PEOPLE INSIDE MESSAGING FROM THEIR PHONES………………
They might have to end this situation one way or another.
President Hollande said that they are closing the borders, nobody comes in and nobody leaves.
THEY ARE SHOOTING THEM AS WE SPEAK!
LISTENING TO FRENCH PRESIDENT…FRANCOIS HOLLAND…60 DEAD..AM HOPING THEY CHARGE THE THEATRE IF THEY ARE KILLING ONE BY ONE IN THERE!
I WATCHED PBO ON TV…PRAYING TOO FOR HIS SAFE PASSAGE TOMORROW..I HATE IT WHEN HE LEAVES BUT I KNOW HE HAS TO GO!
Live French tv at http://www.france24.com its in English, incidents at 5 different locations
Parisians opening their doors to those who need immediate shelter.
SHOOTERS DRESSED IN BLACK…NO MASKS…WITNESS SAYS VERY YOUNG SHOOTERS……………….
WITNESS SAW 20 KILLED…THEY DON’T SPEAK…JUST SHOOT!
WITNESS JULIAN PEARCE..RADIO JOURNALIST…STILL HAS FRIENDS SOMEWHERE HIDING INSIDE!…CNN W/WOLF
Oh my god.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THE DAMNED COPS DON’T CHARGE……………………….:(
APPROX…1,000 IN THAT THEATRE ATTENDING THE CONCERT…………..
100 OF THOSE ATTENDEES HAVE BEEN HOSTAGES IN THEATRE!
I hope Republicans aren’t playing politics with this country safety. Because I pray nothing like that will happen here, but something like that could happen here. Republicans and Democrats need to be working together, because ISIS doesn’t give a dam if you are Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal. How many people have died so far in France?
60 PLUS…………………STILL GOING ON IN THEATRE………………..
Also a HUGE earthquake off coast of Japan:
We’re advised there’s no tsunami threat to Hawaii, but that’s a big quake. News of effects will surely develop.
So glad you won’t have tsumani there. Another horrifying event for Japan.
………….AGAIN……………………………
Thank you. The fact of our Pacific neighbors all being so connected through the ocean, and geologic events, reminds us we’re all in this together.
Yes, exactly true. I’m not seeing any warning for the West Coast and now I see that the tsunami warning has been lifted.
Glad to hear it. No news about damage in Japan.
Horrific night. Suicide bombs, hostages, executions in a restaurant. Terrible.
Hoping for the soonest least lethal resolution.
My heart is with Paris tonight.
HEARING POSSIBLE GRENADES GOING OFF INSIDE CONCERT HALL!
COULD ALSO BE BLOWING THEMSELVES UP TO PREVENT IDENTIFICATION…DON’T KNOW….
Such a sad and horrific series of events. Paris is a city of love and light. That will continue, but this certainly dims the light right now. How do we as a civil society effectively deal with such hatred and violence?
GA TODville. Terrible Friday the 13th around the world.

In English.
They had no choice.
When you walk around talking tough and thinking you have all the answers, then when something happens you don’t have anything constructive to say, all of that big talk means nothing.
Don, as always, well said! None of these right wing idiots have the answer.
The 7 locations where the attacks have happened:
The locations of the attack.
Since 1944/1945 France has declared State of Emergency.
7 locations were attacked.
NATO has got to come up with a Comprehensive way to Fight Global Terrorism.
It is now imperative that Terrorism be declared a World Plague and Eradicate it We Must.
Ut Ohhh
Timing is a thing in politics, Bern.
I am just reading & watching events as they develop;
wishing the best for all who are caught up in these horrific incidents;
there are times when one has nothing to say - today is one of those for me;
Unbelievable what is happening in France. A beautiful city and countryside being ravaged and brutalized. So many lives lost.
Marine Le Pen just won the 2017 election, unless the Socialists and the UMP get their shit together and present a unified front against her.
They’ll probably just try to out-hate her, I fear that’s where this is going.
