French Attacks Megathread

Postby Great Nilfgaard » Fri Nov 13, 2015 2:43 pm

Mod edit:
As everyone is likely aware by now, there has been a series of terrorist attacks in France. It is understandable that tempers are hot and people are upset, fearful, angry, worried, outraged, and so on. However, due to the volatile nature of the developing news story, the short tempers, and the event being an easy target for trolling, moderation is taking a nearly zero-tolerance approach towards trolling and flaming in regards to the attacks.

Do not expect unofficial warnings, we will most likely skip straight to *** official warnings *** for first-time offenders, and a short escalation up to 1 or 3 day forumbans for repeat offenders. You can review the site rules here, though really, it boils down to "Don't be a dick."

Do not post while you're angry. Step away from your computer until you can calm down. Posting while upset makes for hasty and ill-thought remarks, which in turn are more likely to be found in violation of the site rules than a post that has had time to sit and be reviewed in a calmer state of mind before posting.

There has been a terrorist attack in Paris tonight.
Over a hundred people were killed in a series of explosions, shootings and a horrific hostage scene.

RIP to all the victims in this tragedy.

Explosions appear to be a separate incident from the shootings as well.

I would think that it was likely related. Otherwise, that's a ridiculous coincidence.

CNN is reporting hostages possibly being held at a fourth location.

as always withhold judgement on who, how and why until more info comes out but it's sounding pretty nasty and well organized. assuming it isn't a massive coincidence with a bunch of assholes going crazy/attacking on the same day

This is awful, and the various attacks seem scarily well connected.

also keep in mind that when it comes to these kinds of incidents "CNN says..." is meaningless as they have a proven track record of being wrong or reporting misinformation. likewise, RT is known for just flat out making shit up.

In all likelihood, it is them. They struck the capital earlier this year and are known to have the resources for such an attack. Of course, I could be wrong and think we should withhold judgement until the investigators do their job.

Yea they were hosting Germany, and he had to be relocated, according to BBC.
Jesus, it seems like a connection between all of them, an all out assault on the capital.
