This story is legit. Look at these details. Now that's journalism.

Guns don't kill people. Parisians kill people.

11/13/2015 5:05:58 PM

There's a hostage situation in a concert hall presently too.

11/13/2015 5:09:25 PM

French military in the streets now?

11/13/2015 5:14:23 PM

Supposedly another shooting at a McDonalds... assuming this is a coordinated terrorist attack, this would be the worst attack since 1996, with Charlie Hebdo being the next-worse.

11/13/2015 5:15:05 PM

damn, this is terrible

^ France has one of the highest gun ownership rates of European countries:

But somehow i don't think a gun would help when someone detonates a bomb...

11/13/2015 5:24:45 PM

locations of attacks

11/13/2015 5:25:28 PM

The concert hall where hostages were taken was hosting an Eagles of Death Metal show.

11/13/2015 5:33:34 PM

Don't the shooters know you need to have permits and pass strict evaluations to legally own guns in France?

11/13/2015 5:35:41 PM

Looks like another shooting happened in a mall... obama making a statement in 2 minutes.

These self-styled Muslims make life terrible for people around the world, including for the normal Muslims who just want to work, earn some money, and feed, shelter, and clothe their families. Evil, evil, evil people.

11/13/2015 6:02:32 PM

agreed. France can't catch a break.

i sharply criticized liberals for their immediate "omg we need gun control" reactions to a couple of school shootings and the reporter shooting. i also have the same feeling for a conservative pressing the pro-gun agenda in a crisis like this with so many innocent casualties (and depending on the reaction, the collateral damage casualties due to the response)

11/13/2015 6:14:18 PM

it takes a special kind of asshole to mock gun control laws in the middle of a big terrorist attack in another country

11/13/2015 6:15:07 PM

We aren't politicians. We are forum posters. That criticism is valid for actual politicians addressing this but not for us, especially so far away. Posting a and waiting a week changes nothing... just like gun control laws.

11/13/2015 6:57:16 PM

It's definitely radical Muslims, and France probably invited such attention with their anti-Muslim silliness.



All of this is fucking retarded.

If a book was taking bets, muslims would probably be listed somewhere around -50000

i'm sorry, you misunderstand. this is my viewpoint as a semi-decent human being.

11/13/2015 7:03:52 PM

supposedly there's a fire at a french refugee camp.
Also airports closed now too.

Multiple reports that only surviving gunman of the 3 at the concert hall is claiming he's from ISIS.

Over a hundred dead just in the concert hall

^^^Thats a fucking Friday night in the Windy City. You haven't been keeping up with the news there I am afraid.

And I stand by the fact I can make a comment like that. People constantly post that shit whenever there is a shooting tragedy in the US. And of course I feel terrible about this shit. I had a friend stay there for a month this year, so I am very thankful that he and his wife were spared being exposed to this violence, or Charlie Hebdo. But I also feel that Islamic terrorists have found a tried and true target in Paris that is very lightly defended, and no concealed carry or any such silliness to deal with. Although let's be frank about it, many restaurants, stadiums, and concerts are gun free zones here in the US as well, so those targets wouldn't be much harder to hit domestically. Not saying that arm everybody is the solution but pointing out the hypocrisy in some of the comments about stricter gun control can avoid these situations as these automatic weapons and grenades/bombs are completely fucking illegal in France, yet we have seen multiple attacks with these very same weapons in France over the last year.

I hope this along with the Russian airplane bombing pushes the EU, US and Russia to finally form a consensus to work together and wipe ISIS off the map.

it continues to blow my mind how ISIS can continue to recruit people to their cause.

11/13/2015 7:20:40 PM

a death toll of 140 would represent about 20% of the initial death toll of 9/11, when weighted by population.

11/13/2015 7:21:30 PM

not as bad as i thought carry on
