Try and make us understand.
WHY
If terrorist have a problem with the rich power brokers and politicians then attack them. Stop going for us, most of can see your point but cant do fox all as we are trying to keep our own head above water.

Because they can attack us. We don't have the fancy security.

And if they do it enough, they think we might revolt or our leaders might care or something. *shrug*

It's to terrorize.

Terrorist never targets rich and leaders because they are their sponsors.

GOOD

Here's a link to live witness accounts of the storming of the concert hall.

The band Eagles of Death Metal was giving a concert. A staffer from France 24 was in a restaurant where a bomb exploded and said quite a few American students were in the popular bar.

French borders closed. State of emergency declared.

See another guy from the inside the theater said they didn't say anything.

Also those were said to have been said before the theater incident, think things are all getting mixed together.

Here's an account from a famous landmark.

Harriet Alida Lye has written to the Guardian about being trapped inside the Shakespeare and Company bookshop on 37 rue de la Bucherie:

We are safe in the Shakespeare & Co bookshop, with the windows blacked out. There are about 20 customers with us who’ve been sat here for hours calling home. I haven’t seen anything but police cars go by, and people stumbling out of bars in central Paris who clearly have no idea what is going on. We are all taking breaks between calling people and checking the news. We’re saying it feels like this must be part of something bigger, like we are being senselessly attacked. It feels really close to home, because Paris is just so small and the attacks are all over the city. There are sirens constantly and going in every direction. The lights of Notre Dame have been turned off, which never happens at this time of night.

The police assault on the Bataclan concert hall is over.

Sorry just got the news. Terrible...I don't know what else to say...prayers to the victims and their families.



Don't mean to be politicizing but has Obama or any official said anything? Or even Merkel or anyone?

Please, I know it's a requirement to bash the US and Obama but it would have taken all of about a 5 second search to see that the POTUS commented directly on the attack.

Yes Obama has issued a video statement about the event.

Obama calls attack on Paris "An Attack on All Humanity"
