A US operation just freed 70+ prisoners from an ISIS prison a few weeks ago. There was no raid involved with the attack on Johnny though.

Not meaning to start a derail since this is major news but isn't the area where the Prison was different to where the beheading videos took place? I may well be wrong in this regard.

WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

The French reaction is probably not going to be like the American reaction after 9/11. The Charlie Hebdo attack didn't turn France into a totalitarian dystopia and I doubt this will either.

9/11 didn't turn America into a total dystopia, despite what AQ and UBM wished; nor will this attack turn Paris into a dystopia. Rather, it may result in proactive, rather than purely reactive, security policy being implemented in France.

I think its just that gunfire is louder than most people realize, sounds just like normal real gun fire to me, that poo poo is brutally loud, especially in an echo chamber of big concrete buildings. Its scary for real. I hope everyone is safe.

That's unrealistic.

A far better assertion would be that this wouldn't have happened if the Obama administration had granted France's requests for assistance to facilitate a French military ground deployment in Libya.

I don't respond well to loving moronic rules about babies first news event. People are dead. There is a terrorist attack in progress. I don't loving care about sources or if 45 instead of 44 people are actually dead. At this point in time such a level of detail is utterly unimportant. Oh man when I thought 18 people were dead I was like "man" but now it's 30 i'm like "MAN!". You're so loving stupid.

Well, I wanted to post it to try and remind people of the disadvantages of live news and the panic it causes, but I guess it went the other way in your case!
