[FourPeas]

Awful. Every one of the 100 hostages is someone’s loved one.

Who knows, they could be Alsatian Separatist terrorists.

doh!

[Hulka]

I viewed that post as pathos. A sad commentary that applies to our administration and its insanity when it comes to dealing with terrorists. . .like not calling them terrorists, or worse, islamic terrorists.

They need stricter gun control regulations.

They just need to put up some "Gun Free Zone" signs and they'll be fine. Maybe some "Explosion Free Zone" signs, too.

At least 18 dead per La Figaro

“Gregory Goupil of the Police Union Alliance has told the LCI News channel that the two explosions near the Stade de France were suicide attacks.”

I’m in my easy chair....

[Dead Corpse]

My only surprise is that this hasn’t happened more often.

Wake me when it looks like folks are starting to take this crap seriously....

Dear Geraldo...

It is called WAR, even when the other side says it is religion

[Mouton]

I suspect the French population has a problem with their government just like we do here which is they don’t listen to what the people feel or believe is best for the country. It is completely insane to be welcoming these savages into their midst. I cannot believe anyone outside these brain dead politicians thinks letting in a group of uneducated low life head hunters is a good thing.

[bigbob]

exactly so, and that’s why no one wants to hear some FReepers standup routing right now. Show respect.
