And it's not like there is even that much to plan. That's the problem, it's all pretty easy to pull off.

Yup, not hard at all to take a weapon to a crowded place and be a coward. I'd like to see them try against people that have the means to defend themselves.

It would be much more difficult in the US, that is for sure. Some woman in Michigan opened fire on a shop lifter who was trying to flee in a vehicle. 😱
 
Apparently three of them had AK-47's and fired into a huge crowd of people for minutes. They reloaded multiple times.

I never placed a locale on the situation, just mentioning the cowardice of it all. The idea of hitting soft targets such as civilians is the epitome of cowardice.
 
60+ Dead

100(s?) of hostages still taken.

United States security officials are communicating through secure conference calls, sources tell CNN. The assistant to the president for Homeland Security has briefed President Barack Obama on the situation. The president is about to speak.

If this is ISIS, one good thing will likely come out of it. The entire Euro will probably step up their attacks on them, and help both us and the Russians wipe them out.

I just want Putin to go "all in" on these guys in Syria. If a bomb took out that airliner and now this, Putin has all the leverage he needs to get brutal.

US military doctrine is too "touchy, feely" for dealing with these guys. ISIS have all but created the next generation of terrorists and as terrible as it sounds their spawn should be eliminated as well.

And a really hard-line government will be elected that will probably close all the borders, deport a bunch of people, and send the army to do things.

Yeah, that worked out great for us about 14 years ago. We kicked a bunch of terrorist asses then went home, mission accomplished.

There is nothing good about this, at all. If you think there is you're co-opting mass murder to justify some ideology you favor, and you're little better than them.

Wow, state of emergncy over all of France and they have closed the borders. Do they know something

Well, we have an enemy capable of taking out Russian airliners and coordinating massive, coordinated attacks in Paris.

It's way past time to have closed the borders. Far too many military age men from Syria and the like have already come into Europe and this is likely only the beginning.

Russia would be a decent choice if we needed to hire some muscle.

No, it is good in the sense that it will open up Europe's eyes to their open-borders-to-unlimited-muslims stupidity. The liberals had their turn and this is the result - if they don't get tougher now on immigration then this will only get worse.

Read what he wrote. Do you think they should just continue with an open border policy.

And sorry, but sometimes the army is necessary.

It's ignorant to jump to the conclusion that the violence in Paris was done by refugees. What possible reason would they have for attacking the people taking them in (other than ISIS operatives planted amongst the refugees?)

The people responsible for this attack are most likely French citizens. Paris has had a problem with poor, jobless, disenfranchised Muslim youth from N. Africa for a long, long time before this current refugee crisis started. I don't remember the exact number, but hundreds of them actually slipped out to Iraq and Syria to train with ISIS, and half of them came back to France! Apparently, the government has just been sitting and "watching" them. They need their own version of Gitmo...

Telegraph with a reliable police source is indicating at least 6 confirmed attack locations.

It's going to get worse.

Agreed. Let's not forget the Charlie Hebdo attacks this year, 12 people dead and a hostage standoff situation. Is Paris going to turn into the next Tel Aviv?
