Fffs how many do we have to say that these terrorists are most of the time 3rd or 4th generation citizens.

It's not new immigrants who are making these attacks. These are thugs who have no education at all, who grew up in ghettos around big cities, who used to deal drugs and spend their days smoking weed. One day then end up in prison and get radicalized and become terrorists. Most of them have the same story.

That is a curious interpretation of the gate theory of drugs.

I don't really think the French need any more help on the ground.

This is Germany going from "we don't have special forces" to the above in like a few years btw

Yes well, people tend to get a bit nervy by the idea of Germans having special forces, something about some special forces in the 30's and 40's probably left a bitter taste in the mouths of many.

From one sweeping generalization to the next, great start.

Yeah crazy. Also crazy how closely related this was to the Chancellor's office and what they did there. In that way it really was like a 24 style plot.

Even if this is not true, why are reporters tweeting this stuff? "Hey terrorists, just so you know, the police are attacking soon. I'll tweet again when they give the go."

 

[valkyre]

Simple. By a bullet to the head.

That is not simple and it certainly isnt ending anything. On the contrary I would say that it fuels hatred from both sides even more.

When someone is determined to end his life for some retarded cause, there is little you can do.

This thing runs deep and cannot be ended with bullets. It is a matter of education, quality of life and many other things.

 

[lenos16]

Through education and integration, not isolation and bigotry. Well, that's for the home-grown variety.

Integration only works if there are two willing parties. Besides this is only a longterm solution and won't do jack to stop any terror attacks in the next few years. The education line also implies that these home grown terrorists didn't have access to education in France (or any other European country), which is just not true. We've had defectors calling and terrorizing their former school mates last year.

 

[ICKE]

I really hope this situation is solved quickly, because soon other disenfranchised people might feel like this is their window to cause some havoc and have revenge.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

"Hey guys, it looks like they are going to make the second story, east side window the main entrance. Will update when I get some pics"

After all of this mess is sorted out, there will have to be a good look taken at the journalists and the way they have treated this situation up until now.
They are making so many stupid things that are complicating the police job that there needs to be a wake-up call at some point.

Meanwhile, nothing about the Kouachi brothers...

 

[Cucurbitacée]

The CSA has just issued this:

Face aux événements tragiques que connaît actuellement le pays, le Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel invite les télévisions et les radios à agir avec le plus grand discernement, dans le double objectif d’assurer la sécurité de leurs équipes et de permettre aux forces de l’ordre de remplir leur mission avec toute l’efficacité requise.

Translation:

Facing the tragic events currently occurring in the country, the Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel invites television and radio networks to act with the utmost discretion, the objective is double : maintain security of their crew and allow the police forces to fulfill its mission with all necessary efficiency.

I wish it was true...

Wasn't there some similiar stuff in Canada? One reporter even justifying it.

Well, there is probably not much happening. The police is probably still sieging them and they are not giving up.

They are, really liked this one:

"But... he called me a terrorist!"

 

[ConanTheKing]

Probably because European intelligence agencies have been successful in keeping them disorganized and defunded to a large extent? Completely conjecture, but that seems the most likely explanation.

There have been many foiled plots over the years, many go unnoticed and will be in the news for a while, there was going to be a 9/11 attack with people blowing themselves up on multiple planes at the same time which intelligence agencies stopped.

 

[pulsemyne]

The raid mentioned above also had heavy coordination with the SAS. They even praised the german team with a "They were pretty good."

That is simple. If after all these years some people just don't want to adapt, and they are "educating" far more people that it is great to die a glorious death because of reasons, then what other option do you have left? Leave them be? Lock them up? And what will happen the moment you shoot a terrorist? Who will be mad? Only those who support these people. At least you will know how many you will have to face. You just show to them you don't fuck around with people waving guns and killing other.

It's proven time and time again that's what readership wants. We tend to accept a few false positives if you give us a cookie every once in awhile. They want us to remember who gave them that cookie.

Also, the children are all evacuated, last ones arrived at a local gym 10 minutes ago to get reunited with their parents.

The police have ordered all shops in a Jewish neighborhood (lemarie or something?) to close.

edit: I think it was Le Marais they said.

This was posted by the founder of the far-right political party Le Front National with a picture of his daughter and actual president and presidential candidate Marine Le Pen. Polls shows she'll get 25% of votes at the next presidential elections. But in every case scenario she'd lose at the second round of voting (2 candidates gets through to the second round).

Once classy. Always classy ...

People are fucking dying and taken hostage and this guy is probably jumping around and dancing in his home. Makes me want to throw up.

The Le Pen thing is dumb as there's literally nothing she offers that would have helped prevent this.
"I don't like Muslims" doesn't automatically imply "I have plans to prevent radicalization and get rid of radicals".
