Default Breaking: Multiple Possible Terrorist Attacks In Paris

Explosions, shooting, hostage situations... the news feed is jammed with reports out of Paris...

18 Dead in one report, 10 more in another.

This is ongoing.

Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. That is no surprise when you know how many jihadis are in France. They were warned, but they had be all politically correct. Giving them all kinds of free stuff, just like all the other socialist euro contries. Now they are shocked when those animals attack them. It is only a matter of time before it happens here, because we are going down the same politically correct path to ruin.
All I can say is we better elect somebody who will call a halt to all this uncontrolled immigration, student and work visas, and pampering the people who are sworn to destroy us.

I'm watching a coupla minutes delayed feed from a guy in an apt near a restaurant. Shots fired in the past, cops and bad guys.

Cops are asking people to lay on the ground where they are.

All videos from this guy have now been deleted.

Shit's still active:
People still inside the Bataclan calling for help: "Please come help us ! They are shooting people one by one ! First floor, quick !"

Drudge has a headline that says 100 hostages taken in a theater, and 35 dead. Jesus.

Geraldo can't help himself decrying a "vicious cycle".

You can hear one of the explosions in this Vine video. If you don't have audio, right click and choose "Show Controls" and turn up the audio (I start all Vines off muted because they will usually blast your eardrums.)

I've gotten a little complacent about carrying. I need to be more consistent about packing heat.

Islamists target civilians, Western militaries target combatants. The Islamist combatants attempt to use civilians as shields, and sometimes civilians get killed because of this, as it is intentional and necessary to the Islamist's objectives. This, to Geraldo, is a "vicious cycle". Ending it can only happen two ways. They win, or we win. I'd just as soon end it with a win on our side. Not so sure about Geraldo.

one of the news outlets keeps mentioning that Obama will be commenting about the situation soon.

Fuk him; lets hear Putin instead... he'll actually do something.

I believe he did make a reading (from his teleprompter)....any body have the stomach to listen to it? Did he decry gun ownership like he immediately did after the last mass shooting here?
