    Small mercy. They only played the Olympia last week. Sends a shiver down the spine though, when you go out to a gig the last thing on your mind is being slaughtered by some cultist with whom you have no quarrel with

    Exactly, I was hoping to go to a euro game next year, go to football matches every friday (obviously not the same scale) and the thought of going to a football match only for something like this to happen... must be terrifying.

    Why just the US we all need to go in. This is just wrong. These people are ****ing sick and its getting every close to home. Us been seen as untouchable is a perfect target and we are soft as ****. Imagine that here. Would be even have ERU units to deal with multiple scenes. How would the army cope?

    I don't disagree with you man.

    I won't try to reason with you

    You cant with such feeble reasoning!

    You said previously that it was "ghettoisation" that caused this.

    Newsflash buddy.... cities all over the world are very crowded, it doesnt follow that the inhabitants turn to maniacle slaughter as a consequence.

    "aah lads... its not their fault... sure their appartment blocks are crowded and probably a bit of a dump..."

    This anti-logic seems in itself so bereft of sense, it can only act as a quasi-defence for these perpetrators.

    Men slaughter innocents in the name of Allah... but you blame their living arrangements.


    Pathetic & shameful

    The army ranger wing would be well prepared to deal with a situation like this

    An ideology that says an entire mass of people should be blamed for the actions of a few is just as poisonous. In fact, it's the same poison.

    All Germans were blamed for the Nazi's. All Russians are regularly tarred with the same brush because of their political leaders.

    Why do you ringfence This particular group? What makes them un-blamable?

    As terrible as this is already, I hope the hostages get out of this alright...just horrible.:(

    The only "good" thing is that the French police are more likely to crush this than many another European police force

    Liberal immigration policies working out well once again. Clearly the European governments didn't appease hard enough, must try harder next time.

    indeed.... sensible folk.

    keep defending the indefensible though.... it looks more moronic by the minute.

    I'm not defending terrorism, I'm defending millions of innocent Muslims being unfairly blamed like us Irish were during the troubles

    Just waiting for the hashtag to distract people from what happened.

    After Charlie Hebdo I find it incredible how it has happened so soon after and even worse!

    There is one already but its being spread by ISIS supporters on twitter
    "Paris In Flames"
