CNN is reported 18 dead so far:

Rerfreshed the above (Fox) link and it went to 36 dead and over 100 hostages.

I bet this will be the tipping point where France (at least) goes zero to Jackboot, RFN.   I would hope that the rest of Europe is witness to what happens when you accept invaders refugees who don't assimilate...

At least 40 dead and the attackers shouted "Allahu Ackbar!" as they opened fire.

Obama will be calling it workplace violence any minute now.

Bet the French are wishing they'd put more effort into being the top vacation spot for American soldiers on leave right now.  They could use five or six for an incident this size.  Maybe even a couple of Marines.

Probably not. They will probably apologize to their invaders.
The rest of europe, with the exception of germany and G.B.? I think they are ahead of the curve in understanding the problem.

Every time I refresh, the death toll rises.  The Telegraph is now saying 60+ dead.

Seems a bit soon to be revenge for the death of Jihadi John.  This must have been in the planning stage for some time.

The Europeans' reaction will be . . . interesting.

incentive to police their own? Harsh but true, the true refugees are being used as cover by the not nice ones.

You can't fight someone else's battles for them and that is part of the problem here. No it's not fair, and yes, they might not succeed, but the way things are is definitely not going to work either.

AFAIK Syrians didn't have a say in having their country blown to hell.. and "Muslim friendly countries" might not be so friendly. AND... European governments could have protected their borders and said NO to mass immigration.

So what does that mean? On the one hand you have NATO governments destabilizing the ME through subterfuge and material support of terror groups, stoking the fires of war, and then on the other hand those very same governments fail to secure their own borders and allow their meddling mess to come back home. Seems to me the people need to throw out their rulers.

Good grief!

This attack on Paris is huge, perpetrated by members of a relatively small, closed off community. Don't tell me someone didn't hear a rumor.

When I say police their own, at least for the ones in Europe, that could be as simple as just informing authorities of rumors.

At this hour, there is no credible or specific threat in the United States, according to a U.S. government official. An FBI spokesperson said the agency and the Department of Homeland Security were closely monitoring the unfolding events.

And I'm sure that, right up until the moment the shooting started, there were no "credible or specific" threats in Paris. I don't know which pisses me off more -- that our government thinks we're all that stupid, or that they're mostly right.

Turkey has taken a lot of them.

Turkey has not "taken them in"  They are in refugee camps along the border.  Turkey has been moving them through to Greece partly because they hate Greece and also to relieve pressure on their southern border.  

The "refugees" know which countries have the best freebies, which is why they want to head to Hungary, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, and the like.  They don't want to stay in Greece, Blugaria, Romania, or any of the former Yugoslavia states, no freebies there, and they are hated.  (See: Battle of Mohács, The Siege of Vienna [which is where crescent rolls come from], the Battle of Vienna, and the War of the Holy League/Great Turkish War.  History is important in this part of the world, so there's no excuse for being ignorant of it.)

Plus again, the vast majority of these "refugees" are military age men.  Idle hands and all that....

Indeed.

I worry about them, they leave one country where they are being killed for who they are only to arrive in a "western" country where they also need to fear for their lives because people are setting fire to camp because of who they are.

Only a small minority are Syrians fleeing Syria.  The rest are from N Africa, Sub-Sarahan Africa, Bosnia, and other places.  They are not refugees but "economic migrants" fleeing the dung hills they have made of their own countries for the land of welfare and free housing.  

They need fear their camps being fired not becoase of who they are, but because they invaded someone else's home.  

Most of those "friendly" countries are eastern European *expletive deleted*it holes.

Where they were not being murdered by ISIS & Assad or bombed by the Russians or America.  Once they picked up from Turkey and moved west, they were no longer refugees, but mere illegal aliens looking to suck on the welfare teat of the west.

http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2014/11/turkey-syria-ankara-allows-refugees-to-remain.html#

And you just undercut your argument that these are pore, starvin' refugees.  As soon as they leave Turkey and go west, they are no longer refugees, but invaders/economic migrants engaging in a volkswanderung.

Does it really matter if the fake refugees are a minority or a majority in these countries?

It doesn't take all that many to do what they did to Paris, relatively speaking, and as long as they continue to have the means to enter the countries in question and do what they are doing, this problem will not end.

This does not end well for either the countries that are being overwhelmed by refugees or the actual refugees, regardless of how many are actually Muslim extremists.

And yes, I do believe the actual refugees need to be held at least partially accountable for their brethren and countrymen. If this continues, eventually they are going to run out of places to run too simply because there is no place left safe from the people they are running from.

Perhaps you shouldn't rely on leftwing websites for your proof to jump to your conclusions.  Are you now saying that the BBC, Berliner Zeitung, Frankfurter Allegemaine, and Deutsche Welle are right wing ??

http://www.dw.com/en/survey-leaves-no-doubt-syrians-are-fleeing-assad/a-18775789

Quote
Heiko Giebler, who managed the survey as a scientific mentor from the Social Science Research Center Berlin, considers the results to be valid. "The point is not the percentage," he said, "but the clear trends." The public perception of young men being the largest group of refugees in Germany has been confirmed by the fact that the majority of respondents claim to be male and between the ages 16 and 25.

Perhaps the 16-25 year old males are the only % of the refugees that can communicate in a 2nd language to the survey team? Maybe the females, middle aged, elderly and children are too scared to respond. Maybe the males stood up to protect the other refugees? Also if you look at the survey they want to be rid of Assad and just find peace and comfort somewhere.

Other than being outraged and sad as the population would be, the politicians put a lot of efford into saying we're at war now (with the islamic state) rather than experiencing a terrorist attack, which sounds a lot like preparing an intervention over there (Syria) which we really don't need now. Either the extremists are really, really smart or we're just really dumb in good old Europe: First we're under siege by a ton of Syrian refugees, than we have terrorist attacks which is bringing one more reason as if we needed one to go back to Syria: That's what I call a lose, lose & lose situation.

True, and I'll tell you what is it that we are not seeing in front of our noses and that is Western government meddling in other sovereign countries sponsoring instability, and at the same time Western unwillingness to protect their own borders.

The enemies are within and I am not talking about refugees. If this was carried out by Al Qaeda, ISIS or similar responsibility falls squarely on US, UK and other NATO intelligence agencies, organizations that have been working closely with these jokers, getting them weapons, training, know how and most gravely, protection instead of taking them down..

Orwell also taught us about the use of boogie men in far off places to justify and perpetuate fear and perpetual war which of course enabled blind fanaticism and oppression at home "for your safety". Ring a bell?

This tragedy is  is going to be milked for everything it is worth to get France and other EU countries into the charade (War on US-Saudi funded ISIS). The US government knows it needs all allies on board now that Russia has joined the mix.

I don't believe that people leaving the middle east are all "freeloading men of military age" looking for free stuff. That's just ignorant. Have a look at what is going on over there.

On Sunday, five years less a day after Saudi and Egyptian terrorists killed 3,000 Americans, the New York Times reported in More Muslims Arrive in U.S., After 9/11 Dip:

Quote
"In 2005, more people from Muslim countries became legal permanent United States residents—nearly 96,000—than in any year in the previous two decades." [By Andrea Elliott, September 10, 2006]

Of course, no foreign Muslim can hurt us here in America unless we let him into America. But the Bush Administration, instead of securing the borders, is ginning up another round of war fever.

Iran in 2006 is being compared to Germany in 1938

Instead of cutting off immigration from muslim countries and rousting those within France.  Nice to know that France's political class is as foolish and mendacious as ours.

I see Hollande has stated that the French response will be "merciless". This is someone who is generally pegged as an "it takes a village" left, socialist, progressive person. Yet even if all that is true about him, he still sees this attack for what it was, and he doesn't talk about "capturing and bringing to justice" as if they are civil criminals. He talks about retribution that will make the terrorists look for softer targets. If only our own Presidents of recent vintage (both dem and rep) were that hardline. "Understanding your enemy" is a bit different than "having understanding for your enemy".

John Bolton has a few good points on the attacks. I do disagree somewhat with his third point. I still value my freedom over my safety, and the personal liberty conversation would not be so much in the forefront if our intelligence programs focused less on being politically correct and more on intelligence, like, you know, profiling (not to include grandmas). Every person in the US is not a potential enemy or terrorist. We know for the most part how to profile for the most effect, but we choose not to offend people (unless they are "white, redneck domestic terrorists" - then we seem to have no problems profiling).

Paris terrorist was a Syrian refugee, says Greece government official



Quote from: http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/619447/Paris-terrorist-Syrian-refugee-Greece-government-official
A Greek government official revealed the man, who died in the seige on the French capital, had passed through the southern European country last month.

A passport was found near the body of the gunmen, revealed he arrived in mainland Europe from the Greek island of Leros, suggesting he arrived in there by boat.

Citizen Protection Minister Nikos Toskas, in charge of police forces, has released the following statement: "On the case of the Syrian passport found at the scene of the terrorist attack, we announce that the passport holder had passed from Leros on October 3 where he was identified based on EU rules.

Sure glad he was IDed in accord with EU rules, otherwise something awful might have happened.

The one place I almost always carry is in church, in a little hamlet a lot smaller than Smallville.  It's not that I think anything is going to happen, but if it does there is only one exit and we'll have to shoot our way out or everybody dies.

Right after that church shooting in... Charleston, was it? a slightly grungy stranger came in halfway thru the church service (he heard almost all the sermon) and sat on the back row.  He ducked out real fast at the end before I got a chance to greet him.  My wife said later that when he came in she wondered "what if he was a terrorist or lunatic?"  I told her I was sitting behind him to the left (at the soundboard) and I had him covered -- and I *didnt* think about it because I thought about it ahead of time, months ago, and was prepared.

But not because they don't hate us and want to destroy us. More of their limitations are that they just can't walk across the Atlantic.

The only monkey wrench in that theory is that Russia's CAS missions have for the most part targeted not ISIS, but the other anti-Bashar rebel groups such as FSA & Al Nusra, as those groups are the ones in closest proximity to Assad's strongholds.

It was reported yesterday that our "intelligence" community was investigating 1,000 (that ONE THOUSAND) possible ISIS attack threats. At the same time, our overlords leaders assured us that there was no "credible" threat.

That doesn't really mean there is no credible threat. That means we haven't found enough evidence to make the threat(s) "credible). If they know about 1,000 potential plots, how many must there be that we don't have any inkling about? I'd guess at least a factor of ten.

The hard to swallow truth is that ISIS is the US/Saudi government's proxy army. Petraeus moving into the CIA had a good deal to do with this. They arm them, fund them, support them and try to use them to carry out US foreign policy. If you want to be safe from them, you are going to have to do some political restructuring (to put it kindly) right here at home.

Because c'mon now, continuing down this path is going to get us all killed, seriously. The current establishment is sponsoring terror groups that WILL end up attacking Americans, and they are flirting with direct engagement with nuclear armed nations. And for what?

What support can they provide in the US?

Funding,  among the other things Dogmush mentioned.  A handful of aholes with AKs and suicide vests pulled this last one off,  that doesn't really need a whole lot of command/control.

I asked the question about what support ISIS can provide just to see what it was y'all were thinking of.  We have already seen what semi-auto firearms can do when everyone in the area is disarmed.  A few marines in France reminded us that unarmed men can still fight if they have the right mindset.  We have also seen what happens when someone armed is there to oppose them.  The main thing I can see that would panic people here is real explosives used in widespread attacks.  If we started seeing a bunch of suicide vests or car bombs, that would be more difficult to deal with.  

The other point I heard today is on point:  France is already targeting people and searching places.  They already knew who half these people were but for some reason failed to act.  I have a feeling we would be in the same boat.  If heavy attacks started, more than likely it would involve people our govt was already watching.  Similar to the 911 aftermath.  The question is would anything significant change to put a lid on it afterward.

A Paris style attack in the US would suck for everybody except the goat pokers responsible.
Look at what we lost after 9/11.
I really hope it doesn't come to it but in a way I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. The small scale attacks we have had so far have all been more or less brushed under the rug by the administration and the willing toadies in the main stream media and labeled as pretty much anything but "terrorist attack".
A Paris level attack would bring on stupidity that makes the Patriot Act look like a good idea.

Another question Gun Talk Radio was talking about is for us personally:  Does concern over these events change what you are carrying on a daily basis?  Does it make you consider different guns?  More capacity?  More magazines?  A backup gun?  A truck gun?  Just thinking about changes you might make or things you wouldn't consider before that you are considering now.  

One question I thought was interesting was if you were carrying and someone on a balcony with a rifle was shooting at people, could you shoot well enough to hit them?  Do you practice at longer ranges with your pistol?

Another thought was whether you would consider keeping a rifle of some kind in the car or nearby?

The western pundits seem to be concerned about 'territory' where ISIS isn't concerned about 'territory' or 'borders', but more about conquering/converting/killing and becoming stronger.
I agree with that article- the West doesn't have the political will to defeat ISIS, or anyone else for that matter.

Yes and no.

Aloha Snackbar is probably not coming to my little neck of the woods.

We're new to carry here.  My carry practice is evolving.  Yes, I'm upsizing slightly, to carrying the XDS when possible, with the longer magazine in a carrier.

Truck gun?  In this neighborhood?  No.

Heard this on BBC news earlier.  Putin is way better at this game than any of our people currently playing.  This got press,  and it's the perfect "We're relevant, and look we're helping"  statement from the Russians.  All Obama managed to do was show up late to the moment of silence.

Definitely a couple of spare magazines for the 1911, and I may revert to carrying the Para-Ordnance double stack.

That was started by a guy here in Spokane. He was the FNRA rep for the area until he got sick and could not work. With a wife and a passel of kids he needed something to bring home the bacon, so to say, so he started the ammo line. He would have a table at the local gunshows and did all right with it for a while. I am not sure how he is doing these days, I haven't seen him in a while.
