At Least 120 Dead in Paris Attacks

Please bold where I said that and I would be glad to respond to your question.

I would have to bold the entire post, but somehow I do not think that it would do much good.

I thought I saw the term right winger in your post where you begged to keep politics out of this for now, but maybe I was just seeing things in my obtuseness. I apologize for seeing words that were not there.

I didn't make the claim you're implying, so I'm afraid you're out of luck on this discussion idea.

The words were there in clear and justified anticipation of those of your kind making the accusation. Do not become grumpy for the fact that you are predictable.

Cool story, bro! Agree to disagree?

I really think we need to be united in this time of tragedy. We are not right wingers or left wingers or Christians or Muslims. We are human. Now is not the time for baiting in anticipation.

Alas in French only

Arguably some of the people claiming to be human shouldn't be honored with the title.

For once I agree. Lets call it good vs evil.

I am a uniter, not a divider.

Is there any word on where the attackers might be from? I ask because if it turns out they were refugees from Syria, then I wonder what kind of impact this attack will have on EU members letting future refugees from Syria into their nations?

Scaremongering for sure. Hollande isn't Sarkozy, at least.

Interesting second sentence given the remainder of the post.

Excellent. Goes further to prove that Australia is not a real country, as a certain gun-nut in the USA recently claimed.

Where were you to call for unity when Arwon and abradley were blaming George W. Bush for these attacks? Where was anybody? This board is notorious for verbally lambasting those on the center-right. When that stops happening on a regular basis, I will stop anticipating it.

Thanks once again to George Bush and Tony Blair for taking Al-Qaeda's bait and really starting this horrific cycle.

Yes, Bush's and Blair's fingerprints are all over this and 911.

And that is just in the second or third page. This kind of thing continues well in advance of my post. What reason, exactly, have I not to anticipate such attacks?

I would agree.

First steps:
Capture those who committed this to keep them from harming more people.
Provide medical aid to the victims and comfort to their families and the families of the deceased.

Once those steps are completed, figure out who was responsible for the planning of this.

Then decide on further next steps.

Where were you…

Offline or on another thread.

Can someone from France comment on those shiny space blankets covering the people? I got myself one as a souvenir from NASA store at the Kennedy Space Center. Is what I see is a space blanket and is it a standard item for French law enforcement?

Although I'm not wearing a stovepipe hat, that particular administration had a role in instigating and then exacerbating the formation of the terrorist organizations being suspected.

You are right. This has been a day for attacks. I am sorry you have been a victim of the attacks. I ask the thread to unite in expressing our hope for swift recovery.

Interesting. So was I (offline) and yet I somehow found the time to read through and see this posts. Somehow, I think that it would not matter one iota whether or not JR saw these posts, he certainly would not condemn a left-winger for making such a statement.

You do realize that none of those things are within the power of anyone who so far posted on this thread? So what you're saying is that everybody should be silent until clear information about these events becomes public.
Probably wise, but unlikely. People do like having, and airing, opinions. And I don't think it'll cause any harm. We're just wasting our own time on speculation... worse thing some comments will appear ridiculous tomorrow in light of new information.
