Explosions and Multiple Shootings In Paris, Possible Hostages (cnn.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Multiple sources are reporting that at least 18 people are dead across three shootings in central Paris. The Associated Press reports as many as 26, as of this writing. Some victims were at a restaurant, while others were at a nearby theater. Early reports indicate there may be a hostage situation with more people at that theater. Police have also confirmed an explosion at a bar near Stade de France stadium, where a football match was underway between France and Germany. There are reports of other explosions heard at the stadium as well, but no details yet. "The attack comes as France has heightened security measures ahead of a major global climate conference that starts in two weeks, out of fear of violent protests and potential terrorist attacks." The attacks occurred not far from where the Charlie Hebdo shooting happened in January. "French news media reported that Kalashnikov rifles had been involved in the shootings — a favored weapon of militants who have attacked targets in France — and that many rounds had been fired."
So now it's rest in piece? Fuck off. Keep it the same as the original headline. Can we judge it then? How many people die before you take it seriously? Dickbags.
I had a dream, bright and carefree, but now there's doubt and gravity
Can we finally dust off our nuclear stockpile already? Pretty fucking please? They don't want peace, they've made that perfectly clear many times, and these tantrums of theirs are only going to escalate. Can we finally start glassing some of these shit-holes? They're a danger to the rest of the world and it's time to start acting as such.
France has really stringent gun control laws. That did not prevented Charlie Hebdo. That also did not prevented 11/13/2015 events in Paris.
Has somebody noticed that tragedies in free gun zones occur not when people are not armed, but when the right to bear arms is limited. Because criminals do no care about zones.
Well, listening to CNN right now . . . I heard the story of a guy who dragged out a bloodied teenage girl out of the concert . . . is this what Islam is all about!? Any Muslims are encouraged to answer!
Schroedinger's Brexit: The UK is both in and out of the EU at the same time!
This means that we must have actually nailed Jihadi John.
Time for Europeans to round up the 'refugees' and ship them back. The coast of Libya would not be a bad place to dump them.
It is the moslems who are doing the fucking killings !!
Can you liberals please wake the FUCK up?
I've enough of the stupidity of you liberals ! The shooters are yelling "Allahu Akhbar" and you goddamn liberals are blaming the French !!
You know what? If you feel so strongly about the Moslems, why don't you grab a gun and go fight ISIS in Syria or Iraq?
Oh wait... Because you are such a fscking wuss, that's why. STFU, you dumbass Fox News douchebag.

Why is this here? How many Slashdot visitors are so computer-challenged that they haven't found out about this already, and gone to a website where they can find out a lot more about it than what they'll get here?
For the love of god, this points readers at CNN!!! It might as well send us to Pravda or Faux Noise (oops...that was supposed to be Fox News)
Please, no more of this space-filling, time-wasting, off-topic crap.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
I have to agree. The downfall of some liberal countries is that they become *too* sensitive, and when confronted with a true enemy, they don't realize or recognize it.
When someone is out to destroy you, you cannot simply be polite and act like it's a dinner party where someone had bad manners.
Ah, yes the evil that PC liberals do.
You are so full of sh*t. France is right there bombing ISIS in Syria. That's why these attacks are taking place.

They let the muslim hordes in, it was clear that some nasty shit would happen. But noooooo, to state the obvious is prejudiced.
Reconquista 2 when?
Circumcision is child abuse.
When will the french drive them into the fucking sea?
Regardless of whatever wrongs these people feel were done to them...
Regardless of whatever wrongs may actually have been done to them, their families, etc...
This will not help their cause, it will just make it worse. They are yanking the tail of the tiger, they will find they are unprepared for the other end when it turns around.
For all the jokes about France and surrender, the reality is they can be a tough bunch when they want to be, and they have strong allies around the world, including the USA who will come to their aid.

I get that western nations aren't perfect, both France and the US have done things that we shouldn't have. But this doesn't "right the wrong", it doesn't "excuse" murdering hundreds of people who were just going about their lives.
All that will really happen is the cause of these people will be harmed for a long time to come. This was a stupid attack, many more people will suffer because of it.
And blaming America and the West "first" IS a real thing--just see what the self-styled progressive left (recently nicknamed "regressive left") had to say after Charlie Hebdo. Already, I am seeing people blaming France for Syria (one of the gunmen in these attacks even shouted "This is for Syria!"), as if opposing the Iraq war and then not getting involved in clusterfucked Syrian civil war but offering to accept refugees anyway is an unforgivable sin. The West is blamed when it does intervene and blamed again when it does not intervene, and it is being blamed by both the jihadists and the Western progressive (I refuse to say "liberal") apologists for those jihadists.
Trust me, it can be truly liberating to think independently.

When was the last time a Christian, a Jew, or an atheist flew a plane into a building full of people while praising their God? Fuck them. This shit keeps happening over and over again, and every single time some idiot comes out and starts telling everyone that "they're not all like this". I don't care. A sufficient percentage of them I so ass backward that we need to do something about all of them at this point.
