You see if this happened here in America, someone would've pulled a gun and put the mother-blam!-ers in their place. This is why we shouldn't ban guns, shit like this will happen much more often if there is no resistance.

Edited by Un1337ninj4: 11/14/2015 3:33:23 AMRemember lads, these attackers have not been confirmed to be ISIS or even Islamic. It's likely, but until we know for sure let there be no mistake. I've seen a photo of at least one attacker holding a Klashnikov but only one article has heard one of them yell "Allah Akbar" (Sorry if that was misspelled) and being a singular report could well just be media bull as I've seen most articles saying the attackers were silent throughout the event.
-
Who are the gunmen? This is unknown at present as the situation is still developing. However, those responsible are believed to have been dressed in black and used Kalashnikovs and hand grenades. The deputy mayor of Paris says it is too early to conclude that attacks are coordinated acts of terror but it "looks that way". According to French channel BFMTV, one of the gunmen at Bataclan shouted: "It's for Syria" and "Allahu Akbar". There were also reports the attackers mentioned France's military actions in Syria.

Edited by Promethean241: 11/14/2015 2:27:52 AMPeople don't seem to see it, but this isn't just an attack, this is an act of war. Paris wasn't attacked, Paris is under siege by a terrorist organization that has been left unchecked for too long. Do you have any idea where this is going? There's one thing this has in common with the two world wars: Paris was the first super power to be attacked, now Russia and then they'll name Britain next. This has to end, now.
