France's currently under serious stuff.

I am fine, thank you all, luckily I don't live in Paris....
I am fed up of the government, they didn't learn any lessons from Charlie Hebdo attack and now it happened again.
My condolescences for all victims.

That's great. But I'm still very worried that a terrorist attack may strike precisely where you live. That's what terrorism is, it makes people think, "Oh my god, it might happen to me too".

But you shan't blame the government. They're trying their hardest with what, rescue operations, police, border maintenance, and stuff. I think this may be a declaration of war, but on what, though?

I'm also fine, but i'm in the middle of paris which is quite dangerous... None of my friends/teachers/people i know are affected by the shootings, and i hope that they stay indoors for the time being. I heard that the victim count is 120, and i offer my condolences to all of them.

Mon dieu... this must be a very scary time for you. I really can't imagine how you're going to manage daily living for a few days there.



On another note, that it happened on Friday the 13th is awful timing. Maybe the terrorists chose it because they know it's symbolic? ugggh.

Values violated: Speaking after the Saturday security meeting, Hollande said the attacks were "committed by a terrorist army, the Islamic State group, a jihadist army, against France, against the values that we defend everywhere in the world, against what we are: A free country that means something to the whole planet."

Pope Francis prays: “I am close to the people of France, to the families of the victims, and I am praying for all of them,” the pontiff said in an interview. "There is no religious or human justification for (the attacks)," he added. The pontiff also called the attacks “a piece” of the “piecemeal Third World War.”

The death toll sits at least 120, over 200 are injured (of those 200, 80 are seriously injured), but other sources such as nypost reported that it may be over 153 dead.



The more I look at the news, the more depressed I get.
