So, as you likely already know, there have been multiple shootings/bombings in Paris earlier this evening. They appear to have been coordinated, but there is no definite motivation for the attacks, and we currently do not know who was involved in planning the attacks.
Current estimates for the number of dead are around 140, though with the amount of confusion, these numbers are obviously preliminary.
Reports are that there were attacks at these locations:

but today is not that day
Going back to depression.
you can hear one of the bombings during this game's broadcast
the fans thought it was pyro it seems
give it time. there should be solid information in a few days.
Gotta admit, this is the first time it actually feels scary to me. Must be the geographical proximity.
There are still some things to be thankful for though, especially in beirut
France stands strong against the attacks
Police are being super cautious after yesterdays events.
For those who don't know, France is slowly losing its Jewish population to emigration because there is strong antisemitism among a subportion of the Muslim population and there has been repeated violence against Jews (one of the attacks in January was also directed against a kosher supermarket and all the hostages killed by the attacker were Jewish)
Yeah, one more conspiracy/false flag post and I might vomit
The attacks could very much affect the election results and it is likely that this was intended by the extremists since they benefit from increased polarization
Security actually caught one of the bombers trying to get into the stadium 15 minutes into the match; he blew himself up while trying to back away from the security team.
It sounds like this could have been a lot worse if the stadium security and logistics hadn't been so on point; the fact that they were able to prevent a panic inside was huge.
Speaking of, I work security at a nuclear plant here. I wonder how all of this may affect my job.
...since when has the Red Cross/Red Crescent been evil?

While also tragic, this article is dated April 3, 2015.
I feel like cutting myself off from the world for a day or two might be good for my mental health.
oh its from months ago.
still. fuck.
not even a peep about it otherwise.
Yeah, a few months after Charles, and as I said in the other thread, part of a sustained campaign by Al Shabaab against soft targets across the horn of Africa.
They're why dad couldn't go home.
You have a surprisingly better relationship with Africa compared to the US
