PARIS (AFP) -
Sirens blaring, blood on the roads, weeping relatives: nightmare scenes played out on the streets of Paris on Friday night as at least 120 people were killed in simultaneous attacks.
Pierre Montfort lives close to a Cambodian restaurant on Rue Bichat, where one of seven attacks took place in a night of bloodshed not seen in decades.
"We heard the sound of guns, 30-second bursts. It was endless. We thought it was fireworks," he said.
Another witness described the scene: "For a moment, we could only see the flames from the gun. We were scared, how did we know he wasn't going to shoot the windows?"
Florence said she arrived by scooter a minute or so after.
"It was surreal, everyone was on the ground. No one was moving inside the Petit Cambodge restaurant and everyone was on the ground in bar Carillon," she said.
"It was very calm -- people didn't understand what was going on. A young girl was being carried in the arms of a young man. She seemed to be dead."

There’s a FR thread or two on it. Don’t know the headline but there was a new thread yesterday of someone wanting to help to find it.

Good for you!
Remember this one?
Paris badly needs militias at this point
That and a good dose of islamophobia, as the ROT -- this Religion of Terror -- clearly inteneds to kill them all.
Many thanks for the links!
“I am trying to begin to prep incase as much as I can afford to until I can find a job.”
Good for you - every little bit helps. An extra can of veggies, some ramen, you can stockpile things that will last pretty easily a little at a time. I found tuna on sale for $.59/can and bought 12.
Good luck on the job hunt. I know things are tight out there! What are you looking for?
Good point, Marcella. Who knows what’s going to happen with the thousands of “refugees” that we are about to have thrust on us?
“Good point, Marcella. Who knows whatâs going to happen with the thousands of ârefugeesâ that we are about to have thrust on us?”
Ten thousand refugees arrived in New Orleans yesterday, all men aged from 18-45. Some will stay in Louisiana and the rest going to 180 cities outside Louisiana.
This is the first large “batch” of potential terrorists Obama is bringing in.
I’m very concerned about this. Thank goodness we don’t live close to a large city.
Well as of right now anything. I was a Fraud Analyst for a bank but I am applying even for cleaning - just anything. I have a upcoming clerical test for my county. I applied for a Clerical position so we’ll see on December 2 if I pass.
Wow, financial fraud auditing sounds fascinating!
I’m sorry you’re looking for something lesser- there’s a lot in this country that have lost good jobs.
We’re looking to open 2 small businesses, but with all the red tape and intrusive requirements, I may give up. And look for anything I can find that I can physically do.
Let me know how things go for you, and much luck!
An account I read said the bomber was detained by security, and detonated it as he was attempting to escape them :/
Dear Lord, please share Your strength.
