 Hope they can take down the attackers.

Hopefully but most if not all are prepared to die for their cause and more are waiting in the wings to carry out the next one.

 

God help the police, army etc who are out there trying to get control and save folk lives. Not something I could ever do.

The attackers can’t win cause France out numbers and out techs them so it’s only a matter of time before they are stopped.

Eye-witness report from a hostage:

 

“It was carnage,” said Marc Coupris, 57, still shaking after being freed from the hostage-taking at the Bataclan concert venue. “It looked like a battlefield, there was blood everywhere, there were bodies everywhere. I was at the far side of the hall when shooting began. There seemed to be at least two gunmen. They shot from the balcony. Everyone scrabbled to the ground. I was on the ground with a man on top of me and another one beside me up against a wall. We just stayed still like that. At first we kept quiet. I don’t know how long we stayed like that, it seemed like an eternity. I saw my last final unfurl before me, I thought this was the end. I thought I’m finished, I’m finished. I was terrified. We must all have thought the same. Eventually, when a few gendarmes came in slowly we began to look up and there was blood absolutely everywhere. The police told us to run.”

How do you find the attackers though- whoever is in that theatre tonight are only a few in possibly-millions across Europe and the thing is Europe brought it upon itself. Letting anyone and everyone in without doing background checks and I hope we finally learn from this event, although it’s unlikely.

IS is a death cult hiding behind a riven and troublesome religion that has historically spread across the world through violent means.

This is a war……And people are fooling themselves if they think otherwise. It’s a war these radicals are seeking. Unfortunately they will get what they want. It’s only a question of…… ‘sooner or later.’

The quiescent and docile European peoples will return to being the beasts they’ve alway been………Ironically Mother Merkel trying to do what feels right rather than what is right, and allowing in thousands of unaccompanied adult males, without checks, and from a war zone must share some of the responsibility not so much of what is happening now but for what comes next.

The UK authorities will be on highest alert.

The problem and issue is what do you do?

Keep out those who have nowhere to go after being driven out of their homes and countries? At some point you have to let some in and its impossible to say 4,000 in and no more.

And you can’t stop every attack from happening, one or more will eventually get thru and then its mayhem as the police, army, terror specialists, politicians etc are just reacting to nightmares unfolding?

 

Two attackers killed.

Can we please not make inflammatory statements.

Exactly the same can be said for Christianity, imo. Every belief has, and has always had, its extremists. Those extremists only ever represent a tiny minority of any belief. And theirs is a twisted perversion of that belief.

How do you find the attackers though-

By looking for them. Eventually they’ll stop and escape or be stopped.

So all the attackers are male and from war zones? We know who all the attackers are?

As this unfolds can we not get into a discussion about who caused this and who is to blame. Its not the time or place to get into a heated debate.

I’m not afraid to block posts that threaten the peace of this forum.

It isn’t even a twist, they are nothing alike.

My dad has a flat very near to the Gard du Nord. He’s in Paris right now.

I turned the news on and went into panic mode. An agonising wait for a text reply, fearing the worst.

Hi Joe, I’m fine. The shooting was only a block away, I was in the flat. Thanks for asking x

Terrible scenes. I’m so sorry for those caught up in this.

Anna said:   ‘So all the attackers are male and from war zones? We know who all the attackers are?’

Read what I said Anna………..”Ironically Mother Merkel trying to do what feels right rather than what is right, and allowing in thousands of unaccompanied adult males, without checks, and from a war zone must share some of the responsibility not so much of what is happening now but for what comes next.”

 

And …….Nasty. I said  ‘IS is a death cult hiding behind a riven and troublesome religion that has historically spread across the world through violent means.’ I stand by that.

You all know it’s the truth.

Again, lets not get into the politics please. Its not the time to start pointing fingers or discussing who did or didnt do what.

 

Reports around 100 people killed in the Bataclan.

Reports saying as police were storming the building, the attackers threw explosives into the group of hostages…Jesus Christ!

Hundred people reported to have to been killed in the theatre.
