Bombings by the Stade de France while France was facing Germany in a soccergame. 4 dead.
Meanwhile, fuckers kill in the center of Paris. Reporters can't say much regarding casualties...
Meanwhile, fuckers burst into the Bataclan, where Eagles of Death Metal were playing, and shoot, kill. 15 dead.
Confusion everywhere. Hostages in the Bataclan? When people were attending a gig? How many more?

[Bertrand]

Nope; I work there; I have friends in the area though...

I've been reading / catching up on this story over the past hour......for those in the area, STAY SAFE!

Before today, I only knew Bataclan as the venue for some of my favorite live concert albums......reports that the French President has just visited Bataclan.

The Omni Hotel is Dallas is lit up like the French flag tonight.

I've been to the Bataclan five years ago, Low was playing there as support act for Mercury Rev. Here's my recording of Low's set. To be honest I don't recall much anymore about how the venue was like. But it had very good sound. I've more fond memories about the Thurston Moore night a couple days later at La Villette who was headlining for Half Japanese and Glenn Branca.

I'm really shocked about what has happened, and seeing the video of people running out of the back exit of the building. A Dutch guy who was at the concert had been hiding under a pile of dead bodies for some time.

I went at the Bataclan 3 years ago for Shellac. I arrived early to be as close to the stage as possible. It wasn't sold out. I've had time to see the place.

I've been crying sporadically for a while now, knowing what the place looked like doesn't help.

This is just awful

Don't believe this is from last night, just an example of what the full venue looked like:

maybe they just really liked the eagles?

Absolutely horrific. And I dread the consequences this is most likely going to have. There will be more fear-mongering, more baseless accusations and xenophobic slogans by the far right, that's a given. And governments may feel the pressure to lean towards a far more reactionary position. In the wake of 9/11, fear and incertainty reached a point that enabled the Patriot Act, two wars and a slew of measures that radically changed the face of individual freedom. This has the potential to usher in some more absurd and completely irrational actions. And it's already getting abused to rally against the refugees who only seek to flee situations like this one. It's sickening.

In other, or let's say very similar news: Bombings in Bourj el-Barajneh, a suburb of Beirut leave between 37-43 dead.

Here is the problem, when the serpent tempted Adam and Eve it wasn't necessarily like what they did wasn't really themselves. "The devil made me do it" is never really the whole truth. We are tempted by our own worst selves. So in actuality both are right. The totalitarian police state will always have a natural justification to crack heads and there will always be assholes who provoke such. And then such will always provoke retaliation by those victimized by power, but its a circle.. we are always back in the Garden facing the same bad decisions

"The subverts became politicians and finally got the underhand.. meanwhile back in Subvert City someone is writing on the wall FUCK your government spray paint hero in Subvert City its subvert rule..."

My dumb ass made the mistake of listening to some conservative talk radio. Brutal stuff.

I'm pretty sure America is going to start rounding up every Muslim in the land and putting them in camps, just until we can get this whole thing sorted out.

If you can't imagine Obama issuing such an order, how hard is it to imagine Ben Carson doing so?

The earliest Ben Carson or any other candidate that may end up President can issue such an order would be January 2017......if anything is going to be done, it will need to be way before then!
