Reminds me of that guy who got arrested after quoting the "office to office" line from Fight Club and replacing office with apple store after a bad day trying to get his iphone fixed.
Or the time that kid on a League of Legends forum made a joke about shooting up a school, complete with "lol jk" at the end and spent several months in jail for it, likely after somebody's mom reported it.
Its still bullshit but in this case it probably wasn't a good idea to quote something about having a bunch of guns when you have illegal guns.
There are hostages right now. At least one continuing active shooter. At least two separate explosions. Reports are fragmentary and all over the place. 18 dead just from one of the shootings, and "unknown" casualties from the first explosion.
I really hope it isn't, for the sake of the fallout.
That fallout will happen regardless even if the attackers are the whitest christianist dudes. France has serious racial issues. There's a giant marginalized population of Muslims in the country that France has routinely treated like shit. This was politicized before it even happened.
I don't believe France has had any incident of violence even close to this scale from any source other than Islamist extremism in living history since World War II. I'm trying to do research right now. The current death toll already makes this one of the most violent attacks in modern history in Paris.
There is apparently a gag request out regarding the events at the Bataclan. I've been reading scattered unconfirmed reports about what was happening, and I sincerely hope none of it is true.
I can't wait to find out how we spin this from hundreds dead now in Paris to tens and hundreds of thousands dead elsewhere over the next few years. We're in for more fun times, and by fun I mean I'm so fucking done with this entire planet right now.
Not even an exhaustive list, nor did I bother to pull multiple stories from single outlets where they ran more than one, and covering almost exclusively established, reasonably mainstream outlets.
Here's a tidy little tip - If someone says "The media didn't cover (X major event)", just automatically translate it to "I'm an ignorant twit who pays no attention to the news media or the world around me, but I want someone to point fingers at." The media covered it - It's just twits like this who confuse their own ignorance and lack of care for lack of action on someone else's part.

You were my catalyst source though. You were literally the first tweet I saw on this.
I really super hope I'm wrong.
A sad day for the entirety of humanity. I hope this situation gets resolved quickly and with no more killings. My thoughts are with the victims.
Goddammit people.

Isn't Hezbolah a terrorist organization backed by Iran? I could swear I've seen some 'kill all the Jews, destroy Israel' from the group.
Maybe that's why the world cares less?
Please correct me if I'm off base.
Edit: Yeah, Hezbolah is backing Assad. Screw em.
