How monstrous will the mainstream media get before the whole thing breaks apart? No telling. But this indicates that it is certainly descending to the murky depths already.
“CNN Reporter: Parisians Shaken Because This Time It Wasn’t Just Jews Targeted, ‘This Was Just People,’” by Jamie Weinstein, Daily Caller, November 24, 2015:
A CNN reporter says that what really has shaken the people of Paris in the aftermath of the Nov. 13 terror attacks is that this time those killed by Islamist terrorists weren’t just Jews or provocative cartoonists.
Talking to CNN host Don Lemon Monday night, reporter Martin Savidge tried to convey why the people of Paris view the Nov. 13 terror attacks differently than last January’s Islamist terror attacks in Paris that targeted French cartoonists and Jews in a kosher grocery store.
“I think what really has shaken the people of Paris, they’ve grown accustom to the idea that of course the city is a target,” Savidge said from on the ground in the city of lights. “But this particular assault, aside from the sheer numbers of people that were killed or wounded, it was the neighborhoods that were struck. It was the fact that this time no one was spared. It wasn’t that a person was picked out because of their faith. It wasn’t because a person was picked out because of their jobs such as Charlie Hebdo. This was just people — any kind of person. And that has really shaken the people of Paris. This time you could not explain it away as somebody else’s threat.”…
Those who ignore the past are condemned to be French, or at least, European (also Libs, Rats, etc.)
REally...............
This here “ordinary people” stuff............
...........is it ACTUALLY “news”??? I guess I’m Captain Obvious, now and forever. Islam is as it was, and always will be ‘till we dig it out from under its rock and smash it forever.

Dennis Prager has said that Jews are often the canary in the coal mine:

“The Jews and the Jewish state are the world’s canary in the coal mine. This is a role that Jews play in the world. Even miners who have no interest in canaries know that if the canary dies, it is a signal that noxious fumes are present and must be fought - or the miners will die.”
I guess it’s human nature for a lot of people not to care unless things are affecting you directly. But I fear a lot of those in Europe still haven’t woken up to what is going to be a very harsh reality. Too many dumbed down simpletons can’t fathom the true, ugly horrible evil that exists in this world until it bites them directly in their bums. If they do barely think about it, they quickly forget about it as being some other poor soul’s bad misfortune.
“Exposure to true information does not matter any more. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camps, he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom.”âYuri Bezmenov 1984, regarding communist propaganda in the United States and how to brainwash a nation
Not PC, but probably an accurate depiction of the dynamic.
They came for the Jews twice now....did they think no one would come for them? Fools.
