Just reported

[Alittleliberal]

1. My god...

This is madness.

[Waldorf]

47. Its now up to 118 dead in concert hall. Keeps going up. Were the earlier 60 dead reports from

other places besides the concert hall? Haven't heard anything about casualties from that bomb that blew up at the soccer game.

[Alittleliberal]

51. They just got into the concert hall.

The earlier numbers had to be from the bombings and other shootings.

[dixiegrrrrl]

62. 140 dead, latest news on Twitter n/t

[polly7]

2. OMG !

I just heard on the live news report they'd killed the two shooters inside there and assumed people had all been saved.

[Yo_Mama]

16. No, they threw explosives and of course there were many dead in there not yet counted.

This wasn't going to end well.

[polly7]

18. Yes, my hopes were too high.

The lives news is saying the same, 100 dead.

How horrific.

[malaise]

24. Innocent young people

This planet is fucked up

[polly7]

27. It sure is, malaise.

[RKP5637]

30. It is, it definitely is. It's like a disease! So sad and pathetic. I have so many WTF's. Innocent

young people killed. FFS!

[LiberalArkie]

31. I just looked at saw the number of your posts. Do you ever sleep?

[IcyPeas]

3. link? where did you hear this?

[sufrommich]

4. Have mercy.

[polly7]

5. I just heard the live news report at Sky News say this also.

&feature=youtu.be

[dorkzilla]

28. Sad news but Sky is doing an excellent job in reporting

I wish more people realized there is a better option out there for international news than CNN etc. AND its on ROKU.

[polly7]

32. I've been listening for awhile, they really are doing a good job. nt.

[Go Vols]

36. Watching France 24 on Roku all afternoon.

[dorkzilla]

40. The minute I heard I turned on Sky...

So i’ve also been tuned in since the afternoon.

Did you just hear that last reporter say “thank god its over”? Is it? Do they know that for sure? Someone mentioned some of the terrorists at Bataclan escaped.

[dixiegrrrrl]

65. listening to France 24 now, and so pleased to hear calm rational voices of broadcasters

as opposed to the hysterical excitement of most USA channels.

[Warpy]

38. For those of us who can get it, Al Jazeera America has also done a great job

with their just the facts, no loaded language broadcast style.

[dorkzilla]

43. Yes, they’re also excellent

I also like the simplicity of the screen layouts on both stations, but the fact that they’re not adding their own “spin” and are just reporting facts is a breath of fresh air.

[hifiguy]

63. AJA is probably the best news outlet in the US.

[Capt. Obvious]

67. Twitter and Reddit have been best

For on the ground reports from locals

[IcyPeas]

6. BBC is now reporting this also. I am sick.

[City Lights]

7. I read in another thread that the terrorists were throwing explosives

at the hostages.

[RiverLover]

8. No

please

[Nye Bevan]

9. .

[NutmegYankee]

10. OMG.

[Warren DeMontague]

11. Ugh

[deminks]

12. MSNBC reporting this too, through a French reporter in Paris.

[sufrommich]

13. CNN reporting now too.

I feel sick.

[lpbk2713]

14. I heard earlier many concert goers were executed.

The depravity people can inflict on other people is beyond comprehension.

[randome]

19. The shooters were firing from the balconies.

So they probably fired down on the more than hundred seated concert goers.

23. Radical extremists.

each one a little combination of Charles Manson + Jim Jones.

Times thousands.

[NightWatcher]

34. Religious extremists

[mr_liberal]

57. Muslim extremists. nm

[hifiguy]

64. You are not supposed to point out

the elephant standing in the middle of the room.

[840high]

68. Yes.

[99th_Monkey]

15. OMG!

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. The terrorists shouted 'Allah Akbar' and 'this is for Syria' as they burst in and opened fire,

say witnesses.

One attacker reported captured, claims he is ISIS.

[philosslayer]

21. Is the Daily Mail a legitimate news source?

n/t

[B2G]

25. Give it up.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

44. They are a dubious source but that account has the ring of truth.

EOM

[Marrah_G]

54. Syria? Isis?

[riversedge]

39. thanks. lots of photos. Some so so sad.

[polly7]

42. Thanks, dixiegrrrrl. nt.

[Glimmer of Hope]

20. Beyond horrible.

[Yo_Mama]

22. Also some terrorists escaped into the street. n/t

[Takket]

26. ug, i feel sick.......

I figured they had no choice but to storm and save as many as they could, but sounds like the theater goers had no chance if the terrorists were in the balconys.

I can't process this.........

[Marrah_G]

29. It's horrifying

They said they were shotting them one by one and then threw explosives into the crowd.

[riversedge]

33. An American band was playing and sold out says msnbc

[polly7]

35. "If there is any good news, it is that it is over"

From the Sky News reporters.

"France will wake up to a horror ..... "

[riversedge]

46. but I read that some of the killers escaped into the crowd.

[polly7]

50. I sure hope not, but the reporter from Sky News also said

that the shooters at the cafe? hadn't been killed, as far as he knew. Seems to think the rest have been. Then he said later" it is over", so I don't know.

[sufrommich]

60. A terrorism expert on CNN thinks some escaped,

he also said he wouldn't be surprised if the terrorists filmed some of the attacks and will start releasing those videos online to stoke the fire.

[dorkzilla]

49. I just asked Go Vols about that quote upthread

Is it really over? I thought some of the terrorists escaped?

[polly7]

52. I'm not sure ..... they seemed at one point to be questioning if they were all killed, themselves

but keep saying it's over.

[frazzled]

41. And that's just at one of the sites

According to the NYT, there were 7 sites of attacks (though they're only talking about the concert hall, cafe, restaurant in the 10th, and near the stadium). There are bound to be many more casualties before the night is over.

Vive la France.





PS: a friend just reported on facebook that his daughter (also a friend) was 5 blocks from the concert hall. She is safe.

[hill2016]

56. so is the freedom tower tonight

.

[sufrommich]

45. CNN reporting 118 dead now and may go higher. nt

[Jester Messiah]

48. it hurts just to read it.

This won't go unanswered. It can't.

[Marrah_G]

53. No, it won't go unanswered

[philosslayer]

55. What do you propose?

[Jester Messiah]

61. Vengeance sufficient to dissuade any thought of repetition. [nt]

[alcibiades_mystery]

58. I am beside myself in rage right now

Beside myself.

[Marrah_G]

59. You aren't alone in that

This has to be stopped and I don't think there is any good way to do that.

[etherealtruth]

66. Words do not seem adequate to describe my horror and grief
