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.

I love how every terrorist attack is not terrorism.

Doesn’t sound like this is terrorism. They think it may a botched robbery

Not to mention that they’re awfully quick to point that out.

This is just another isolated incident of workplace hostage taking, nothing to see here...

Perhaps France finally hit critical mass where the muslims think they have enough numbers to take over.

Thanks for the great gif.

I miss Leslie Neilson. Even his bio entry on Wikipedia is funny.

I know-the one thing they almost always have in common is Islam, but there’s never any link between these “”random acts”. Just like there’s never any link between all the random attacks by “teens” on whites. Norhing to do with the fact that the attackers are all black.

You know if there was an epidemic of atacks on blacks by whites, it would only take two incidents for the media to notice a “pattern”.

RT isn’t the most reliable source, but if he’s armed with an AK, then probably more than a robbery

The ‘Lamestream’ media couldn’t see a pattern while sitting in a Helicopter hovering over a crop circle!

The Mirror is also saying he has an AK

Even if they aren't, they add to an environment of fear and an expectation of more to come. That fuels the fire for more terrorist and supposedly other attacks.

This is a hoax. I know that because Frankie had a big rally of solidarity with Abbas and Netanyahu. Everyone held hands and held signs. The signs said “We are all one.”

Maybe it’s some right wing extremist.

Yup, Leslie Neilson is sorely missed. His comedy roles were hilarious.

Does a wolf worry about being outnumbered by sheep?

For a country with more strictly gun control regulations, it really seems like the perps and terrorists have no trouble using AK47s in France.

Could it be that (shock!) gun control doesn’t work?

If I hear an AK47 being fired at people in my neck of the woods, and hear that “Allahu snackbar” crap being shouted, someone is going to be briefly observed through a POSP3-9X42 scope before having their head popped like a pimple by a .308 round.

Something like that is unlikely to happen in France, it seems.

The suspect, heard yelling Allah Akbar and seen wearing a turban, is not suspected of being a Islamic extremist. Film at 11:00.
