A hostage taking is under way in a post office in Colombes, a suburb of northwest Paris. According to police, an armed man is currently detaining three hostages, but they insisted there was no link to terrorism. The man is known by the authorities, and had contacted the police himself, they said. The area around the post office has been sealed.

It also can’t be happening because France has strict gun control laws. You can’t have an AK.

Please don’t insult Barney Rubble by making a comparison between him and John Kerry!

[Fresh Wind]

Please don’t insult Fred Flintstone by calling him Barney Rubble.

I think that’s Fred Flintstone in the comparison, not his neighbor Barney Rubble...

Haha!

(BTW I’d choose Betty over Wilma, just for the record.)

Gunman has turned himself in.....Paris hostage situation ends after hostage-taker turns himself in, France's Ministry of Interior confirms

From Reuters:
“I cannot confirm or deny whether it is linked to terrorism,” the official said declining to give further details.

He only stopped at the Post Office to pick up the baby formula, just kidding

My mistake! Must drink more coffee this morning!

He was checking to see why his copy of Charlie Hebdo hadn’t arrived yet.

That picture... the second from the left in the foreground is really short.

I keeping hearing Leia’s line from “Star Wars”: “Aren’t you a little short to be a stormtrooper?”

He's more like "Bomb Voyage" from 'The Incredibles'

Whatever it was, seems to be over. No more reports on FOX or CNN about it

Let’s see, hostages are taken and an AK-47 is involved. Nope, not terrorism. /sarcasm

Maybe, but with Kerry's perpetual 5 o'clock shadow, he's really closer to Fred Flinstone.

Unlike the United States, in Europe the suburbs is where all the bad sh*t tends to happen. The elites typically live in the centers of the cities. The Muslim ghettos are, usually, suburban. But, suburban to them doesn’t mean cookie cutter KB homes. It’s usually commie blocs and apartment buildings—far enough away that the elites don’t have to see the rif raf.
