Good luck to the French police and military. Let's hope as many civilians get out as possible.

Are you sure? I see no such info about the R.A.I.D/B.I.R/Army storming.

Last page someone mentioned the police and army were ordering a media blackout, which is an indicator that they are going to storm soon.

I seriously think this is going to damage the EU majorly. People are going to become so eurosceptic if the EU keeps open borders and accepts the refugees. Even though I support the EU in these aspects fully, I think it's a must to temporarily nullify these agreements/schengen area.

'Huge amount of uncertainty'
23:38

Simon Cooper, a journalist in Paris, was inside the Stade de France when the explosions went off. He told the BBC:

"Francois Hollande was at the game at the beginning and he left during the game... because of what was happening in central Paris with the shootings. There was a huge amount of uncertainty here, but strangely the match was played out and the fans cheered the French goals as if nothing was happening."

I don't know. Cultural relativist immigration policies seem entirely relevant to the situation.


Not really. Not at this stage - given that there's no clear idea, yet, as to who has done what.

That would be why they started storming it, because the killing had already begun.

It's just so depressing. It makes me angry.

Pointing out that faith should not be associated with politics in any way isn't relevant. Nope, certainly not. These people were motivated by secularism i'm sure.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Actually a valid point. Almost everything that we do is for "good feels."

Paris Sky News now carrying interview with survivor of the concert hall.

EDIT: Scrolling subtitles report another shooting at "a large shopping mall in Central Paris".

To be honest nothing is stopping you from making one. I doubt they thought about the secular end to begin with, but not out of active intention.

I think that immigration should be regulated, not just anyone should be able to get in. We should also work on resolving conflicts in the immigrants' homelands so that they won't immigrate, thus preventing any more terrorist attacks, well from muslim extremists.
