Hostage/Siege in French Supermarket - Islamic State angle

Harry Palmr · 23-03-2018 12:02pm #1

News just breaking. Only one person with psychotic religious/cultural beliefs apparently.

Mark Henderson · 23-03-2018 12:03pm

Maybe he bought some rotten apples and they won't take them back.

Just another day in the new France.

Not a bad idea. Plenty of food and water for a prolonged stay. And most importantly no need to order in Pizza with hidden microphones.

So a moderate rebel then.

Yeah but a white guy probably kerbed a wheel somewhere today. Why pick on the Muslims?

Reports of one off duty policeman and a butcher, in the supermarket presumably have been shot.

Bit of a dodgy translation "touched" should have been "hit"

Before I came to Ireland, and we are going back 16 years, I was half planning to move to France; I speak fluent French...Thankfully someone far wiser than I will ever be warned m that things were heading this way .. so very sad and shocking.

The gunman is now alone with one policeman inside the supermarket, and all other hostages have been freed, according to the mayor of Trebes.

He's pretty useless so.

Does the release of hostages eliminate the ISIS connection? Doesn't seem their style.

Policeman is a bigger prize to him and its easier to manage just one person rather than having several who may try to take him down.

The Isis/Syria angle was also reported on SOR by some reporter at the scene.

I'm happy that went your way.

However, for all our sakes, I can't see any immunity for us in the long game with this. A lot of honest people will come. But hidden in among them will be this element - guaranteed.

What are you talking about? I live in France and it is a perfectly safe, beautiful country.

Yes I know . Maybe we on the smaller offshore islands will fare better. And we already have some pretty difficult home grown violent folk.

I think you're much more likely to die by bureaucracy than terrorism in France.

There are parts of France that are safe and there are parts that the police won't enter because of "cultural enrichment"

To deny what has happened to parts of France is head in the sand stuff.

Many parts of Marseille are akin to some of the worst s h it holes in the middle east.

Well apparently not "perfectly safe" to the 300 or so people killed by ISIS since 2015.

Harry Palmr · 23-03-2018 1:49pm

Apparently everyone has been released/escaped

The fact that you live there, the fact that France is the most visited country in the world by tourists and the fact that it actually is a perfectly safe, beautiful country, means little to some people.

They've made up their mind and they're not for turning. They have youtube videos, ranting blogs and opinions from idiots that they know to back up their prejudices.

Ireland used to be home to the IRA and dozens of other terrorist groups and off-shoots yet how many people here felt unsafe in their day to day lives? I type that as someone who lived in Tramore when a customer was shot dead by the IRA in a bank in 1979

Ya but whenever they come to ireland and experience the craic they change their evil ways and have a few scoops with the lads.

Was Ireland very popular as tourist destination in those days? People living here might know what the deal is, people abroad dont.

Even when i told people in Holland 16 years ago that i had plans to move here they thought i would have been blown to pieces within 2 months.

Whether or not it is safe (again) a country does suffer consequences because of **** like this.

The IRA was the least of Tramore,s problems.
