What do you see in these photos?

When I see these, all I can think about is weakness and the suicide of the west. Today some EU pooh-bah said Europe won't end its open-borders policy. Last night at the Stanford - Oregon football game, the announcer told us to pause for a few moments of silence for the "tragedy in Paris." I was near screaming "It wasn't a TRAGEDY! This is WAR!"

Will the world EVER wake up to this existential threat?

Where did this fetish with lighting candles and bowing heads come from?

IMHO, it comes from the Catholic Church. They light candles and pray for the dead.

Craziest thing is the most secular of them are the ones most involved in this candle light vigil, teddy bear leaving nonsense.

Say a quick prayer, have another child with your wife to reverse your demographic decline,start training with a firearm to get ready for the continued Muslim onslaught, and start pushing your Leftist overlords to close the border and remove all Muslims from the continent.

These things are starting to seem so phony. Building phony memorials and standing around with birthday candles taking selfies. It’s time to get over this crap and start kicking some ass.

Instead of arming themselves and preparing for the next attack (it WILL happen), they are lighting candles.

It is hard to feel sorry for people who refuse to prepare and instead act only in symbolic ways.

The same thing was done for 9/11.

I don’t have a problem with it as long as the men are arming up and preparing.

So sick of candlelight vigils and memorials following terrorist attacks. Faddish, meaningless symbolism. What it really symbolizes is weakness.

And the liberal headed ninnies are still asking how we can deny the poor immigrants entry. The Terrorist in Chief just dumped 10,000 invaders on us and more are coming in every hour on the hour all across the country with no slowing down. If our leaders and politicians can’t stand up for the American citizen, they need to be tarred and feathered. When confronted by wide eyed libs and talking heads, they should immediately state they were elected by US citizens, not foreigners, and will do their duty to America and only America. Close the borders, stop immigration, deport illegals and those who have “over stayed” their visas. Otherwise, our leaders and politicians are working for terrorists. If you aren’t with America, you’re against America.

Well at least they added a cross at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower symbol but I really don’t know if that has any real meaning to most of those in mourning. You did not post a picture of the pianist playing “Imagine” outside the Bataclan theatre. Absolute nonsense there. The spirit of that ugly song is a big reason Europe is dying before our eyes.

FWIW:

Here is thread reporting that there are CNN reports that there are people fleeing some of the vigil sites... perhaps these are magnets for another attack?

I see pretty much the same stuff we did for 9-11. People mourn, it’s natural, and not weakness.

Makes you wonder if these people even read the lyrics to their own national anthem!

There ought to be pictures of dozens of mozlums strung up from lamp posts.

The French are pathetic.
