    over a half hour since that post was published - still no word on the big news channels - sounds fake. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.. But looks fake.

    Looks like another Terror attack.

    Let's not speculate on the cause of the culprits. It could be anybody. Basque Separatists, ANTIFA, IRA, Buddhist Supremacists, it could be anybody.

    There is a weird element of perverse satisfaction in some of these posts.

    Keep refreshing your feed until the identity of the offenders are confirmed.

    Yeah, I think you can relax.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    Three injured as far as I can see, the shooting was at a railway station.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,451 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    An argument that ended in gunfire apparently and not terror related

    Googling it and there's only the sun, mirror and express. The oldest story is 43 minutes old. It's weird. The more reputable outlets could just be waiting till the have more facts.

    The telegraph have it now. No further details though

    I'm going by reports on Twitter of it being possibly drug related. Maybe that isn't reliable either but I'm sure if it was a deliberate attack we would know about it by now

    The glee that some report these incidents with is really unsettling.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    The Daily Mail (not famous for under-reporting a drama) describes the protagonist as a "gangster"
    Terror alert in Lille as 'gangster' gunman shoots three people outside a Metro station 'to settle scores' as the French city is put in lockdown by armed police just ...

    Hmm.. Fair point.. Sources are still important to some... But after an hour and nothing from big news channels? no. Not possible

    The express and sun are quite right wing and sensesational - i wouldn't wipe your arse with those rags


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,451 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    According to the daily mail, it was a "gangster settling scores". They still lead with "terror alert in Lille" though lol

    So gangster not terrorist - way to go Daily Mirror (fearnongering twats)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 778 ✭✭✭BabyCheeses


    According to French media and my limited French, looks like criminals got into a fight due to using smaller weapons.

    One 14 year old shot in the leg and another person shot in the neck. Person who got shot in the neck was sent to hospital so may make it.

    Might be worthwhile giving all these 'mass attack' threads their own forum considering how common they're becoming.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 167 ✭✭Guy Sajer


    Were the 3 people at mass?

    I guess that's a killer blow for this thread, so much disappointment.

    What, you mean the people shot in this incident were all shot accidentally?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    I told you not to speculate :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,731 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    OP involuntarily detumescing as we speak.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 778 ✭✭✭BabyCheeses


    I told you not to speculate :pac:

    Don't worry, you can just keep assuming it is who you want it to be every time and then claim you're a genius when you somehow manage to guess it right one time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,452 ✭✭✭JackTaylorFan


    Put the lube back in the locker - there's no jihadi boogie woogie here

    Oh, I don't know.

    That rage has to go somewhere when it's denied it's usual outage, there's a fair chance that raised blood pressure will result in retumescing followed by the 'fists of fury'.

    Next time put in criminals and you might be right

    Obviously the gunmen were mentally ill.

    IRA? Seriously, don't play dumb.

    He was being facetious (not factitious), he was assuming and even hoping it to be Islamic rather than a hum-drum ODC shooting which it appears to be.

    Facetious? I get most of my "news" from here, because small life/Boards fan, so I'm a sucker for any new story. Because "News". This one didn't run according to plan, but you'll get that. People are jumpy right now. Oddly enough.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 25 Dr Martin


    Interesting how you put in the ';P' to show that 100% you were joking and in no way being serious whatsoever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Berserker


    Surprised that Sky are not covering this. Discussing LePen at the moment, interestingly enough. Telegraph have just reported this.

    Or you!

    The OP seems to enjoy this stuff a bit too much.

    OP only posted based on what was tweeted by the Mirror what's your problem? Based on what's happened in London and what nearly happened in Brussels the whole of Europe is on edge! Thank God this time it wasn't a terror attack!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    Richard loves the old Islamic terror he does.


  • Posts: 25,611 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]

    Richard sounds like an Islamist terrorist alright.

    Or maybe not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 473 ✭✭__Alex__


    Yeah cause it's the OP that's the problem

    What a bizarre post. People aren't saying what happened isn't a problem. These are separate observations. It's almost as if people can focus on more than one thing at a time! :eek:

    I bet y'all any money you like it wasn't a militant atheist.

    Some people really do have a hard on for it though. Usually the I told you so brigade.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,496 ✭✭✭Will I Am Not


    Both sides are as bad as each other. You have people falling over themselves to gloat that the OPs gloating is misplaced.

    It's all about being on the winning side.
    Sad...

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Creating your own side so everyone else loses?

    The OP put up a stupid thread and people are saying it's stupid.
