Re: Paris Attacks
The army are on the streets; several sources saying one of the explosions near the Stade de France was a suicide bomber.

Re: Paris Attacks
I am in tears. I used to love going to France and other countries in Europe. Now I don't think I can ever go back. The chaos and violence that's going on all over this continent is heartbreaking. While I am glad to be where I am in Canada, like most immigrants, I will always feel a sense of something missing by being so far from the country I was born and grew up in. Soon what used to be Europe will just be a distant memory overshadowed by a deep sadness for the loss of identity of many of its countries.
And please don't forget why all this is happening in the first place.

Re: Paris Attacks
I just read on Twitter the rumour that the hostages are being killed, one by one.

Re: Paris Attacks
Please enlighten us as to why this is happening in the 1st place. Are you suggesting this stems from a certain US President allowing US forces to kill persons within several countries and supported by their Allies like France, the UK and Canada amongst others?

Re: Paris Attacks
Remind me again when in North America 60+ people were killed, hostages taken, bombs detonated, all in the same night, by many gun men with AK 47's and a state of emergency called, as it is eluding me for the moment?

Re: Paris Attacks
To all those making witty comments, grow up. People died today, but hey if you can use it to make a funny comment then what is the harm.
