shootout in 'paris' france a few minutes ago

[Kiamichi]

Spanish correspondent on scene says police have rescued some of the hostages at the concert, unknown if explosions were made by police or terrorists. People being told to keep off streets because terrorists are on loose still committing crimes at least within last hour.

Was there ever in world history another bunch like ISIS?

Just found out a fairly close friend that owns a studio in Burbank..that also has a heavy metal band based in the Palm Springs area..was performing in the club.

I'm not a rocker..and definitely not a heavy metal fan..but when it comes right down to it, the music business is very small.

Unofficial word is..the band has been accounted for.

[ralph]

I think 'Islamic state' and 'isis' types were normal hundreds of years ago when the caliphates were actually in power and running territory and populations BoB.

Was there ever in world history another bunch like ISIS?

Before the civilized people (for the time)..decided to fight the Crusades..

..This essentially happened all over parts of Asia, Europe, and Africa..

..and only because the Crusades and other battles were fought..has Europe even existed as we know it.

a different name but the 'mongols' were just as bad . The Hordes would come to a walled city , give the city a choice to surrender . If no immediate surrender it was death for all the males when the city was finally taken . Then if still no surrender it was death to ALL and the city would be destroyed and the earth surrounding the city would be salted .

Eagles of Death METAL , think this is the band --- http://mashable.com/2015/11/13/eagles-o ... QOj5AvFGqu ---

This may be the reason for the attacks.

sources familiar with the conduct of military operations of the coalition led by the United States of America confirmed that French planes carried out two raids in the vicinity of the Syrian city of Raqqa on Friday night, signed several civilian casualties of the families of the city.

The sources added that three French aircraft launched from a military airport in the United Arab Emirates has launched two raids on potential targets for a terrorist organization Daash, but the first outcome of the victims showed the presence of a number of civilians from the sons of the tribes in the city of Raqqa.

The French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Odrian claimed in an interview with radio station "Europe 1" that the Rafale aircraft bombed a training camp belonging to the terrorist organization Daash, adding that it will be carried out strikes on other sites belonging to DAASH too.

No, it's because Muslims are savages..animals that the world needs to be rid of.

[GFB]

Fox News is reporting.."all attackers have been killed."

No, all the Muslims that decided to kill lots of people today have been killed.

Tomorrow is a new day.

[GRANDPA]

How long before it happens here again? Meanwhile, Obammy claims they are contained. Jeez.

No, it's because Muslims are savages..animals that the world needs to be rid of.

+1This was a coordinated attack on 7 different sites. This was not a spontaneous protest against a video, er bombing, this was a well-planned and coordinated attack, probably months in the planning.

[jellowrestling]

I guess there weren't enough unarmed Americans there to stop the attacks.

I'd wager that CHL license applications spike this weekend. Glad I've already completed mine.

That's probably the reaction this was meant to invoke. Thanks for being so easy to convince.

Ya know what none of you have bothered to post? Any expression of sadness or sympathy for the people of Paris! What the hell is wrong with y'all????????????
This is a dreadful tragedy. I'm joining those who are grieving for the innocents.

[planosteve]

I don't usually express sadness or regret everytime somebody dies or is injured unless I know them personally. Not that I'm happy about it, I just don't want to spend the time.
