‘The Horror’: Paris Attacks Reverberate in New York City
NY Observer ^ | 11/13/15 | Ross Barkan

Posted on 11/13/2015 4:37:51 PM PST by markomalley

Shootings and explosions rocked Paris tonight, with reports of at least 60 people dead, dozens wounded and others taken hostage in what appeared to be coordinated militant attacks.

At least two explosions broke out during a soccer match between France and Germany, according to reports. Shootings broke out at a restaurant and a popular concert hall where a death metal band was playing, and the France 24 website said dozens of hostages had been taken. President Francois Hollande of France has closed the borders and mobilized the military, declaring a national emergency.

The shootings occurred near the old headquarters of Charlie Hebdo, the satirical newspaper, where attacks by Islamic militants killed 11 in January.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said the NYPD would be in “close contact” with an international liaison in Paris, as well as local authorities, and “are closely monitoring the situation.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the New York State Police, the New York State Intelligence Center and the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services are “actively monitoring the situation for any implications” in New York State.

In a statement, the NYPD said counter-terrorism units have been deployed to crowded areas around the city. Specific deployments at French government locations in the city were made after the attacks. “There is no known indication that the attack has any nexus to New York City,” the statement read.

The State Department is scouring YouTube for some video to blame the attack on.

When will we see moderate muslims around the world handing out candy, dancing in the streets, ululating? What are they saying on social media? Maybe the press won’t show that.

You’ve got to be kidding! What other group yells “alahu akbar?” Certainly not a Youth for Christ club.

Loser. Liar.

We may end up needing Christian Crusaders to end this takeover. I’m all for it.

The US Government wants you to believe it is a religion of peace.

The current President of the United States stands with the Muslims.

As long as the politically correct NYC wimps are safe in their rabbit holes, this Paris incident won’t affect them in the least. OTH, if they get attacked by jihadists, they’ll be screaming for alpha males in flyover country to rescue them.

America’s ears are closed. General Washington should have burned that den of traitors to the ground back in 1783.

And Hillary Clinton is screaming "What difference does it make!", while saying she's for building a fence on the border. Everything is nuts, "leaders" helping create mayhem while dismissing the results.
