Ads Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 It seems that 2 masked gunmen have stormed the offices of French magazine, Charlie Hebdo and have murdered at least 11 people, including apparently two policemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TrentVilla Posted January 7, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 7, 2015 Another 10 seriously wounded so toll likely to rise you would think. Unusually for this sort of incident the gunmen fled the scene/were able to flee the scene. Also seems likely to be a response to a image recently posted on their Twitter account mocking the leader of IS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Horrific video of them executing a wounded policeman. Evil personified. I've just seen it on Sky, albeit edited. These are very highly trained people, not your casual lunatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Another dark day. Thoughts go out to those family and friends of the dead people, more people not getting home from work tonight.. Also feel sorry for normal everyday followers of Islam, seeing as social perception of them will deteriorate further in some Neanderthals brains. The people responsible want to hope they don't get caught. Edited January 7, 2015 by lapal_fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TrentVilla Posted January 7, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sadly I saw the unedited version before realising what I was watching, one of those things you wish you could unwatch. But yes they looked and acted like soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, new recruits. Heard on the radio this morning that during the riots in 2011, two muslim bothers were hit-and-run victims and their murderer still hasn't been found/imprisoned! 11 men charged but no convictions, I felt so sorry for the father of them, he's had no justice whatsoever..

sharkyvilla Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sounds like the magazine was about to release a special edition tomorrow criticising Islam, somehow the gunmen knew that they were having an editorial meeting and picked them off, including their main cartoonists.

Awol Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sadly I saw the unedited version before realising what I was watching, one of those things you wish you could unwatch. But yes they looked and acted like soldiers. Pure speculation of course but given their manner, choice of target and attempts to escape and evade after the fact (as you say behaving like soldiers not theology doped amateurs) there is a good chance of them being IS graduates of Syria/Iraq. We have literally hundreds of people just like this running around in UK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VT Supporter mjmooney Posted January 7, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2015 Very good interview on BBC just now with a journalist on La Nouvelle Observateur. He made the point that this is an act of war by Islamic fascists, which will probably result in similar outrages by French fascists. True, and very depressing.

Xann Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 The French can be vicious tykes at the best of times. You'd think their security and military are going to have carte blanche on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Considering they have the largest Muslim population in Europe this could get messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lapal_fan Posted January 7, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2015 But hardly any of the Muslim community act or think like these monsters are. Just because these people call themselves Muslim and are doing what they're doing under the guise of "Muslim" doesn't mean that's how 99.9999% of all Muslims think. These people need a new banner "words removed". 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have literally hundreds of people just like this running around in UK. I agree on all points. That we haven't had an attack of this nature on our soil is surprising but is perhaps testimont to the job done by the Police and security services who are regularly criticised for infringements on civil liberties but are seemingly doing a good job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sounds horrific. They sound like professionals which is very worrying. Thoughts with the families of those injured and killed. Not sure what killing people from a newspaper is going to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
