If they capture any ISIS alive, tie them up behind a car and drag them on the cobblestone roads back to Paris

This is a bank robbery gone wrong...not ISIS

How late do banks stay open over there?

“Roubaix is where the suspected bomb-maker behind the Paris atrocities is originally from.

Mohamed Khoualed is accused of supplying the suicide vests and detonators to ISIS militants, who killed 130 people as part of a series of coordinated gun and bomb attacks in the French capital.”

Temperatures have gone up one-thousandth of a degree in France - this must be another sign of global warming.

Using Kalishnikov rifles. Same as the ISIS attackers.

Is there anything that says Muslim terrorists can’t rob banks too?

As another poster said—Roubaix is where the suspected bomb-maker behind the Paris atrocities is originally from.

And they’re using Kalishnikov’s same as ISIS attackers. May be a robbery, or may not be.

Not sure but they were pretty quick to rule out a connection to Paris/terrorists? Weapons like this are a dime/dozen over there.

Don’t worry. It’s only Microsoft making sure everyone upgrades to Windows 10.

I don’t buy the ‘robbery gone wrong’ narrative, especially if they had the same rifles as the ISIS attackers.

Yesterday I read about a hooded bank robber who told people inside the bank, “Relax. I’m not ISIS. This is just a robbery.”

Maybe the US is helping the French. Over here they can rule out terrorism before authorities even get to the scene.

Alright, that’s it! Time to cripple our economy with unrealistic CO2 emission standards! That’ll show them!
