    Looks like somebody had a bad restaurant review, although there's the off chance that it was soccer hooligans.

    No way it's related to Islamic terrorism.

    You don't understand g. It might well be Muslims. But it is Muslims who have been ground down by the intolerant Frenchmen creating a hostile environment for Muslim immigrants.

    Because mass murder is a reasonable response to being told not to wear burquas

    Death toll up to 30.

    I thought France had pretty strict gun laws?

    Multiple attacks all across Paris

    AK-47's, bombs, grenades, suicide attacks, hostages.

    Il y aurait environ 60 personnes prises en otage au Bataclan selon le reporter de Fr24​

    60 hostages in Bataclan, which is about 500 meters from Charlie Hebdo.

    The gunmen reportedly shouted "Allah Akhbar!" as they opened fire, but Arab soccer fans do that when their team scores. So not definitely Jihadist yet... :spock:

    From the scrolling feed I linked above:

    French police union now reporting 20 dead. It is still not clear how many of the attack sites are still active.

    According to the Alliance police union, there were two "suicide attacks" outside the stade de France, where the France-Germany friendly is still underway. The explosions took place outside the stadium at gate D and H. Several believed dead.

    See? Soccer hooligans. :calli:

    Just like the whole issue of guns in the United States, so long as Europe keeps its head in the sand over radical Islam this is sadly going to keep happening. :(

    I was in Paris this weekend last year so I'm feeling very reflective about this. Not to mention that I have several colleagues who work there.

    Not when you and Rick routinely whine about some poor Palestinians who get killed by Israelis when Israel has suffered terrorist attacks routinely for decades.
