Iconic landmarks around the world were lit up in blue, white and red in a show of unity for the 129 innocent people killed in the Paris attacks. From Shanghai to San Francisco, some of the best-known buildings were lit in the colours of the French tricolour last night. Tower Bridge in London, Sydney Opera House, the 408ft spire of One World Trade Center in New York, the Empire State Building, San Francisco's City Hall, the CN Tower in Toronto and even the High Roller Ferris wheel on the Las Vegas Strip were all bathed in bold blues, whites and reds as an eloquent expression of fraternite' with the French capital.

Only thing that needs to be lit up is Mecca and Medina...

I’d prefer to see some solidarity in wiping radical Islam off the face of the earth. We can’t even get the leftists in our own country to step up.

Some enterprising Frog had the idea to cut the elevator cables when Hitler visited. Ruined Adolph’s “top of the world, ma” photo-op.

That’ll show those ISIS ba$tards!/S

They should be arming their citizens and revoking their draconian gun control laws.

We will fight back with solidarity marches, candlelight vigils and symbolic acts of sympathy...meanwhile the Obama and Merkel sponsored invasion floods western civilization with seventh century barbarians.

Scanned through them pretty fast, so I guess I missed the White House lighting or maybe ValJer couldn’t find the light switch.

Meaningless gestures. Filling the streets of Mecca with one color -- red -- and would have more effect.

To hell with symbols and rhetoric. Kill these filth!

I hear that elementary school children are writing letters to ISIS asking them to “stop being bad and hurting people”.

Ummm, the White House seems to be having problems with its lighting system. Maybe it burned out with the 'rainbow effect' following the June 26th Supreme Court same sex marriage decision.

You know, the one where ValJal tweeted "Join us for sunset to see the @WhiteHouse reflect what we always knew in our hearts. #LoveWins" and where Obama said "I didn't have the chance to comment on how good the White House looked in rainbow colors ... to see people gathered in the evening on a beautiful summer night and to feel whole and to feel accepted and to feel they had a right to love, that was pretty cool. That was a good thing."

Psst - #6 - That was the White House CELEBRATING in June!

They seem to lack the will to commemorate this incidence of obvious “Workplace Violence” in Paris!

I hear that elementary school children are writing letters to ISIS asking them to “stop being bad and hurting people”.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That’ll work right up until the kids see their fathers murdered via decapitation and their mothers raped right in front of them. This is the ancient Islamic form of conquest which ISIS has brought to us NOW.

My God, how ignorant can liberals get? They are so ignorant that they have become liberal fascists, doing things and imposing them on people and their children, when they in fact make absolutely no sense at all except to the insanely unpatriotic!

Anyone made my kid do that , they would have a law suit on their hands immediately.
