re: Paris shootings in November 2015

There are reports on social media that Parisien taxi drivers have turn off their meters and taking people home for fee.

re: Paris shootings in November 2015

It's the social media messages and pasted text messages of those that were trapped in the hall that are getting me.

Well sky news said it was an old video/picture

re: Paris shootings in November 2015

Terrible night for Paris, People going out for a concert and to watch a football match and sit in a restaurant for a meal and be killed. Well over 140 so far, What is this world coming too, Who will be next, My heart goes out to all these poor families who are wondering if their loved ones are dead or alive, Something has to be done but what !,,,,,

re: Paris shootings in November 2015

They are saying that the terrorists entered the concert hall and opened fire and reloaded, then opened fire on people, as well as throwing explosives

I'm still in Bataclan. Badly injured ! They have to raid the place asap. There are survivors inside. They are executing everyone. One by one. 1st floor quickly !!!! Now confirmed to be safe

Quote:

Was at the Bataclan like an hour ago during the shooting. The guy entered through the front door, probably firing like 60 rounds by clips of 30 I would say. The crowd collapsed and we were all laying on the ground.
The guy just [EXPLICIT] spread on the pit, I just prayed not to get hit. People managed to get out by crawling on the stairs of the nearest exit. I just did the same, crawling over other people on the stairs like a [EXPLICIT] cockroach fighting for his life.
Don't know about the performers.

Based on the massive loss of life and the information above in which it's doubtless that the police had along with a lot more, what were they meant to do? Wait until they'd finished executing the entire building and then deal with it.

It's clear many were dead before the police assault. At that point in time that was there only option. The hostages weren't there to be used for Negotiation, they were there to be executed. When you're under massive pressure and have what's thought to be 3 terrorists just shooting at will then you have a choice to make, you wait it out or you try to recover the lives that are left in there. They did exactly what they had to, there are survivors, less so than the people dead and it's tragic but it's better than a blow of knowing the Police stood by helpless.

The refugee camp fire is back on now.

Which is what worried me, the original has been an attempt to incite a revenge attack, if true then it's worked..

Untrue, appears that there is indeed a fire but it's actually just a common occurrence after another clash between Migrants and Police.

Quote:

CALAIS FIRE
Polish reporter at the seen (sic) and many aid workers seem to say that there is indeed a fire at the refugee camp (although some of the footage is still false)
However this is almost certainly not related to the Paris attacks. Fires are becoming increasingly common in the Jungle (the colloquial name for the camp) due to lacking safety regulations.

It's nothing new though, every single war has some religious implications. Simply put, you'll never achieve world peace in the same world where religion exists.

Simply put, that's factually incorrect

There is never, ever any justification for this.

The backlash to this in France and indeed Europe is going to be immense and, sadly, not surprising given the incredible indifference and disorganisation across our continent.

l could not believe it when l turned on the news this morning.:shocked:

re: Paris shootings in November 2015

120 now confirmed dead. Getting slightly worried at getting no answer from the friends I have who live in Paris although I'm putting that down to it being fairly early on a Saturday morning right now.

I rarely agree with TheDaddy but that's untrue and very much beneath you :td:

People are already commenting on the security for Euro 2016 there, I reckon the irony being it's unlikely to be much more of a target for them than it is now, the **** made their statement last night.

They were saying on Sky News just now that some are suggesting it was a revenge attack for the death of Jihadi John - 8 orchestrated attacks by at least 7 suicide bombers...that seems too organised for something that would have needed to be put together in less than 24 hours. Maybe it was planned to happen very soon but brought forward after JJ was killed? More likely that than a straightforward revenge attack.
