Hostage/Siege in French Supermarket - Islamic State angle

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

2 people killed, 1 of them the butcher of the supermarkt.
Several wounded

And witnesses reporting the usual yel that comes with this kind of attacks

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.

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

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?

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.

It's like as if the IRA and Co was great Craic or something

Doesn't surprise any more. As Manuel Valls said after the Nice attack, terrorism is just something they have to live with in France. The horse has bolted long ago.


edit* Why does some muppet always bring the IRA into these threads? Its about an attack in France.

Its called 'deflection'.
Back on track, a French Police union spokesmn said over 20 attacks were foiled last year, and this year alone another 7 have already been stopped.

I suggest they hand over Abdeslam asap. Then blow them to all to bits. Sometimes one needs to show those kinds of ppl that we are not better than them rather we can be worse than them if we want. Until then, they'll take the piss.

He is, but they don't know what they're going to find inside.

For now, 3 dead and several injuries.

Whenever an Islamist is involved in these atrocities we always have people coming out of the wood work to say, well it is just like such and such. Why not just condemn the act and point out it is another in a long line of attacks coming from the Islamic direction and there might actually be a problem there.
