At least 100 people are reported to have died at the Bataclan concert hall in central Paris.
Gunmen took many hostages there before being overpowered when police stormed the building.
Others died in attacks near the Stade de France, with some reports suggesting a suicide blast, and at restaurants.
Paris residents have been asked to stay indoors and military personnel are being deployed across the city.[/url][/quote]

So what exactly is happening A lot of numbers and no explanations
-
So sad...
-
WTF is really going on? [spoiler]who's actually behind it an what's the motive?[/spoiler]
-
Germany just announced they are willing to offer France military support. There aren't any news stories on this yet, but it was just mentioned on the France 24 stream.
-
rumor has it that there are numerous gunman on the run right now.
-
Sounds to me like some German tourists were feeling pious.
-
pray for Japan too.. What a shitty day tbh
-
Is there anything we can do to help the French people?
-
Holy shit... It's amazing the number of major breaking news stories I've heard from this site.
-
I feel for the victims and anyone else without a CCW.
-
See, these people are the type that, if tried (I know these were suicide bombers, but I'm talking about if a terrorist is caught alive), should be put on death row immediately. They are no more than another burden on society, sucking up money and facilities. Rant over
-
Jesus Christ, no one had guns to stop them. Poor frenchies never had a chance
-
What's scarier is the earthquakes.
-
If only they had guns.
-
12 people just got rescued from the hall.
-
My uncle and aunt are over there for the football game, we cant reach them. I hope they are allright.. Prayers for everyone in paris right now, cant believe whats happening

Edited by G1: 11/14/2015 1:20:59 AMWe should dip our bullets in pigs blood and send the Isis bastards to hell. Bump if you agree
-
I heard it was Al Queda?
-
So France has closed their boarders and declared a state of emergency, I'm just wondering how long they think they can do that for, there's going to need to be a serious wipe across all suspected terrorists, lock them up until the situation has calmed

Edited by III URBAN III: 11/14/2015 12:56:31 AM158 potentially may have died now -Sky news
-
Definitely NOT islam.
-
Are the other attacks over?
-
There is a pit in my stomach now...this is very shocking.
-
Is anyone shocked by this? They dodged a massacre a few months ago when those off-duty marines stopped a psycho on that train who had plans to kill everyone onboard.
-
Are you serious 158 now? Jesus this is a nightmare.

Edited by KingJackRyan: 11/13/2015 11:58:52 PMI'm losing faith in humanity. If the Middle East had none of this -blam!-, there wouldn't be 60+ families crying, a country in peril, and they would be eating macaroni and cheese at home, watching a show, or loving their life. All of this because of -blam!-ing ISIS. I really just can't say how mad I am [spoiler]shit damn as -blam!-ing screw the sluts that make up the Middle East 9 of -blam!-tards retards and shitty horrible satanic spawn that liter the spoiled world of the Middle East. BAN ME BUNGIE, Ban me for saying this! Those Isis deserve to be - erased from existence -frozen in time -trapped and buried alive Should I continue? [/spoiler] And if someone from ISIS does anything more, I'm joining the military and plan to mutilate EVERY FÛCKING ONE OF THEM
