Been tracking this on the news since this morning.  So far not all the gunmen have been captured?

These shits have declared war on the entire world. Its time to respond and finish it.

I agree.

Can anyone think of something worthwhile that comes out of the ME besides oil?

Me either.

These worthless pricks have been fighting amongst themselves for thousands of years. Now they're exporting this crap.

Time to cut this off at the source.

I say we stand off and nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

comedian's rant against the attackers gets his account removed from FB:

France has some of the best anti-terrorism units. They have a militarized force that also is trained in terrorist response. Yet look at the carnage these cowardly isis assholes are capable of in such a short period of time. Anyone who believes it can't happen here is ignorant.

=============
It's tempting to condemn Facebook as being too politically correct by suspending his FB account.
According to the article, they reinstated his account without the offensive post. I'm sure FB has a profanity policy.
Then there are those who would condemn FB and boycott FB to remove jihadi -tyoe accounts.
Why? No need to remove them. They're just leaving digital fingerprints all over the world.
Makes them easier to track.

Gee, I wonder what the news network Al Jazeera is saying about this attack?

Oh, wait, let me turn to channel 170 or 1170 HD on my Hawaiian Telcom box. 

Catering to the muslims who live here?

I completely agree with his post and find it absurd and disgusting that FB would pull his account because he expressed his opinion.

So your point is what? That I'm "Islamophobic? That I should censor myself because some puling jackass may find my opinions "offensive"?

Well hold on to your panties sweetheart, cause it only gets worse from here.

I never have been nor will I ever be "PC". I will not submit in order to spare some whining pukes "feelings".

I have watched this shit develop, literally, since the beginning. I was watching the '72 Olympics when terrorists killed the Israeli team. I Will Never Forget.

The fact that we have not crushed these goat fuckers like we did the Nazi's and the Japanese is what has led to the current debacle.

If you disagree with me, fine. You are entitled to your opinion. I would only suggest that you read some history. Islam and the ME has been filled with nothing but violence and strife for thousands of years. To think it will change now is insanity.

If stating this, or any other opinion, gets me kicked off of this site or any other, I will give exactly ZERO fucks. It will only show me that I was in the wrong place to begin with, and I'll simply find a place with respect for the 1st Amendment.

I can speak to this and second all above.

I went to Paris just before Christmas 2012 for a 4 days and had a great time. A friend and I were out all day from the early morning until the nighttime. We went all over the city on foot and using the metro, not once did I feel unsafe or threatened. I guess a lot can happen in a few years. There was a decent uniformed police presence and there also were squad and team sized Gendarmerie patrols here and there about the city.

I laugh at the lack of security here on Oahu often both at some military installations and out in the civilian/tourist areas. There are too many soft targets that shouldn't be.

I just hope the people of this country get their collective heads out of their asses, before it is metered out here. Would it be more or less successful? The coordination of these attacks could be a simulation/feeling out of a larger scale escalation on other euro countries, maybe the US.

What is the answer to stopping it ?

What is the answer to stopping it ?

IMO and it is just that.

#1  Get armed
#2  when they come in shooting shoot back


Not much else an individual citizen can do at this point with our current " leadership " 

Hawaii is a soft target.  If something happens here I would NOT be surprised.   Law abiding citizens are sitting ducks just like Parisians.  I put the blame squarely on our
" leadership "

Imagine if it did happen here with our current state of laws and we decided to arm ourselves.

Imagine if it did happen here with our current state of laws and we decided to arm ourselves.

In the  eyes of our " leaders " we are more of a threat than these terrorists.

What is the answer to stopping it ?

There is no answer to completely stopping it. But there are things we can do to help prevent most from happening.

1. The government is already tapping our conversations and watching/arresting those who show up on the radar and commit certain types of crimes.
2. We have to make every square inch of this country an uninviting place for terrorists. Things like taking control of our borders. Keeping track of those who come here on visas. Arrest and/or kick out those with expired visas. We need to get our sovereignty back.
3. Arrest those who are here illegally and deport them. Create a law if they are caught a second time here illegally we cut off their nuts/put them to death/something and anything to make it so they never want to get caught.
4. We have to enforce the laws we already have on the books to the fullest extent. Or create new laws that overtly punish those who come here illegally. And create and/or uphold the laws we have to the fullest extent that is you are caught doing/or with certain terroristic things we will uphold the laws to the fullest extent.
5. Bring back the death penalty. You kill us we kill you. Period.
6. Get rid of all the Liberal judges in our court system and bring in judges who uphold our laws and don't have a bleeding heart.
7. Get rid of gun free zones.
8. In possession of an illegal firearm? Or illegally possessing a firearm? Or both? Punishment to the fullest extent of the law. Automatic. No court necessary like the "three time offender" rule or the "Use a gun, go to jail" rule.
9. Arm the people. Let us law abiding citizens protect ourselves.
10. Force Hollywood to start make propaganda films showing radical muslims cutting off innocents heads, raping women, keeping women as slaves, etc. Something, anything to at least show the citizenry what these radicals are capable of. But not just once every year or two or ten. These need to run constantly on the TV and radio and YouTube and Facebook to remind us of 9/11, Paris, Benghazi, 1972 Olympics, etc. People need to stay vigilant.

This is just my short list. I am sure everyone here can add an item or two. We cannot stop this from happening completely. But if we make it distasteful for them to try anything here then we accomplish our realistic goals and prevent as much as we can from happening. The biggest thing is we cannot rely on just government to take care of us. We need to take an active part to protect ourselves and our families. The people need to be a part of the solution. We all need to do our part. Kennedy's speech "Ask not what your country can for you. Ask what can you do for your country" comes to mind here.

To me, the biggest reason it happens mostly in Europe and the middle east is because all of these countries are not sovereign. Their borders are porous. Hence the one Paris terrorist that was caught came into the Eurozone through Greece. Can you imagine if Israel didn't have as much control over their borders as they do, how often they would have this happen to them?

Sorry for the long rant.
