At that point I'd like to think the crowd would rush two guys rather than wait to be shot like cattle. Man the fear and the insane situation would make most people freeze with terror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Julien Pierce, a Europe 1 journalist who was inside the Bataclan, has described what he saw: "Several armed men came into the concert. Two or three men, not wearing masks, came in with what looked like Kalashnikovs and fired blindly on the crowd. It lasted between 10 and 15 minutes. It was extremely violent and there was panic. The attackers had enough time to reload at least three times. They were very young." One of the attackers at the Bataclan has explosives, according to a Liberation journalist quoting a police officer at the scene. EDIT: from the BBC btw Edited November 13, 2015 by VILLAMARV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case then I hope it is being stormed immediately. Police reported to be storming it. Are people tweeting from inside? Yes I'm seeing them in a search of all tweets for Bataclan.

Popular Post TrentVilla Posted November 13, 2015 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2015 It makes you realise, or should make people realise what a good job our Police and security forces do in this country. If the price of avoiding this sort of attack and the other similar attacks in Paris in the last 12 months is GCHQ reading my text's and e-mails they are welcome to them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Hardly. I'm not the one labelling and condemning an entire religion of billions because of a few whackjobs (and yes, it is still a few in the grand scheme of things) Edited November 13, 2015 by StefanAVFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Could Be Rotterdam Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 There really isnt any explanation for events like these. It just makes you give up on the world. The question is, how do the security services stop these? When they are planning to hijack a plane it takes a lot of planning. This, it seems, is just a small group of cells that get guns and wreck havoc. It's almost an impossible job to identify these plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 My thoughts are with the families of those who have loved ones that will not be coming home tonight and that they will not see again. How can those who have done this evil to innocents see it as being in any way justified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's exactly what the terrorists want. Us against them, clash of civilizations. What radical islamists hate most is liberalism and tolerance. Let them f***ing hate, I'm not going to let them change my values. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True lone wolf attacks are impossible to stop, but when there are two or more people involved there will be communication some sort. That's where you have some chance and can start to pick away at the threads. GCHQ are very VERY good at what they do, I'm grateful for that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise that, but it just makes me wonder what/how we know when french security services dont? It must be so difficult to identify, and i can only assume that there is a worrying number of these plans all at once. On a side note, ive always been amazed that football stadiums arent targeted? Security is surprisingly lapse considering the density of people and publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
