Full Title:'They might have guns, but we have flowers': Video shows Father reassuring son in wake of Paris attacks
In the wake of the deaths of 129 people out enjoying a Friday night in Paris, understanding what happened has been a struggle for most adults.

On Saturday, France's Le Petit Journal sent its reporters to speak to parents with children at the memorials that have appeared across the French capital in the wake of the attacks. One little boy standing outside the Bataclan theatre, the scene of Friday's deadliest attack, is asked if he understands why suspected Isis militants opened fire on crowded concert.

The muzzies had semi and fully automatic firepower. And were using it.
The cops? Well, they had their whistles. And they were blowing them.
The lesson they obviously didn’t learn: Never bring a whistle to a gun fight.
First thing I thought of as well (though to be honest I remembered the person as a female).
We were watching tv when that came on last night. Just horrible that is what he is teaching his son.
Sissy.
Flowers! Sheesh...
I reassured my children by teaching them how to use guns.
Would be how it would have ended if this was a sane response.
Then, there are those cultures who neither wish, nor deserve, to survive...
Early holiday shopping for his own grave.
Best comment of thee day.
The kid still has his common sense and hasn't been polluted by the disease of liberalism like his Father has.....yet.
Awwwwwww! Just don’t let’s lose our heads over it.

Pussy.
