Paris attacks again

Sadly the death toll as risen to 150.

Paris attacks: At least 150 killed, all attackers believed dead - World - CBC News

Apparently most of them were murdered at the Eagles of the Death Metal show, sadly....it was an all ages show.

I think I'm going to turn the radio off now, night.

You wouldn't joke about 9/11 the day after it happened. This terror attack may not have been in America, but joking about it is just tasteless.

Pretty disappointed to see people making jokes about this.

Exactly. This is just heartbreaking news. I wish they could all realize this simple fact: these were music fans, doing what any of us would do, just going to a show. Then to be viciously attacked without warning? It could have happened to any of us.

Would you feel better if they were sitting in a Burger King talking about football?

Considering that it appears that most of the victims were teenagers and young 20 something kids, I find it pretty morally reprehensible myself... but that's the internet for you.

It's just that this hits closer to home than other recent masacres. Most of you are out of school so school shootings aren't relevant to you. Again, these are music fans. This could have been any one of us.

This just confuses me. Just yesterday I think almost like 50 were killed in Beirut, large amounts of people die from things like this on an almost daily basis and nobody says anything about it really... then it happens at a concert in a first world country and it's like the planet stops spinning. It's creepy to me. Where is this level of outrage the other hundred thousand times this happens?

I guess that's why I have a hard time taking reactions on forums seriously. I think it's mostly just people hamming it up. Someone will get all mad that someone said something that wasn't 100% supportive even though those same people usually say absolutely nothing.

That's true as well. The media sure does it's part in not bringing those events to light.

There really isn't anything we can do about it but honor their memories though. To most, cracking jokes is the equivalent of apathy.
