This. I remember thinking, when 9/11 went down- "What simple, evil brilliance".

I made the mistake of saying it aloud a time or two and got a rather hostile response.

However I did not mean "yay, terrorists", but rather that by using our own fuel-filled aircraft as a weapon, and comandeering said weapons with lowly boxcutters, the terrorists figuratively flew under our radar. Sometimes evil is also brilliant.

It's not like in the movies where the bad guys wear matching "bad guy outfits" (I mean, geez, that went out with the Nazis ).

"Evil don't look like anything"

Neat post that is what I was saying last post -----if this was not planned for months .............................it is mind numbing....it is feelings of powerlessness

sky news it is carnage in the theatre........................bad

Dutch media: president Hollande to visit Bataclan theatre this night (during the night over there) with Paris mayor Hidalgo. Currently still in emergency meeting with other government officials.

Police: Saying 140 people killed in Paris.

Awful, just awful, it feels like nowhere's safe from terrorism these days - at a concert, restaurant, bar, shopping mall, cinema, beach, museum.... It gets to me all the more when it's people out having fun and enjoying leisure time. The Tunisia shootings this summer (where 30 Brits and 8 other Europeans were shot dead while sunbathing on a beach) shocked me the core. And now beautiful Paris.

This has GOT to stop.

RIP to all those killed today

At least/up to ? 100 people killed inside the concert hall, police official says, according to AP


The ten and eleventh districts/arrondisement are gentrified working class neighborhood, crowded on a Friday night. President on the way to the concert hall.

Airports will remain open.

Paris police saying all public events are cancelled until further notice.

100 dead at concert hall..........40 other people killed in other attacks elsewhere. 140 total so far.

So I have to wonder if this attack was planned to occur 2 weeks from now when the heads of state are to meet in Paris on climatic change- but they triggered it early in response to Jihadi John being killed yesterday.

Exactly like that quote. That's what I expect from a leader. A measured response delivered with calm resolve and reassurance.

Although "Nice try suckers" would have worked as well for me.

I am no fan of GWB, but I have always been a fan of those particular words.

Yes, our world is scary. Yes, this kind of thing is horrific. But if we cower, and alter our entire existence by living in paranoia and fear, then indeed the terrorists have won.

Deputy mayor (i guess) just reported at least 118 at the concert.

Wonder if they got all the suspects involved n this carnage.

Ok I just heard they did not get all of these killers.

Three times now I've read that as "Panic Attacks: NYPD Deploys Counterterrorism Forces Throughout NYC"

Which is kind of how I feel.
