Hm.. Raid going for more than 15 minutes apparently now (if you judge by news source times) - how long does a raid like that take, generally? Honest question, never really checked up on that. Tens of minutes is typical IIRC. The raid on Osama, for example: Show nested quote +
The raid was intended to take 40 minutes. All told, the time between the team's entry in and exit from the compound was 38 minutes.[55] According to the Associated Press, the military offensive aspect of the raid was completed in the first 15 minutes.[73]

Hm, thanks. I would've thought it takes like 5 minutes maximum to prevent executions etc.
Guess that's me rainbow sieging.

recent studies have shown that the influx of refugees in germany did not have any influx on criminality rate. So, i don't think there's a valid connection. Most likely (as in the past) the terrorists have a french passport. I think we, as european society, have to be careful not to bring xenophobia into the discsussion.
Gonna need source here or this post is meaningless.

As I said, I feel no kinship with you just because we share a passport. Nor do I have any special relationship with the soil you stand on just because it's north of the border with the Republic of Ireland. Soil is soil. Blood is blood. And you saying that is a failure. You share more than soil with him, you share institution, history. Those people that did it didn't feel any kind of kinship with the people they killed too btw.
I'm not saying I feel no kinship with other humans, I'm saying that the kinship I have with other humans doesn't depend upon what colour their passport is.
I'm as far away from those terrorists as you can get. The terrorists are very much into the "kill everyone not like us" mindset. The people I'm arguing with in this topic are in the "fuck everyone not exactly like us, focus on us" mindset. I'm arguing for "most people are basically the same, kill those terrorist cunts, help the people who aren't".

The Bataclan can contain 1500 people, and apparently the terrorist attacked with grenades, it is a carnage.
I've seen 100 thrown around for the number of hostages.

Yeah, they were killed two days after the attack.

Easy, there are millions of weapons in Europe right now and without border it's easy to move them around. Belgium is plagued with automatic weapons from bulgarian migration from the 90's.

I agree with this sentiment, and I am not 'patriotic', I don't think anyone should have an inherent right to live somewhere over someone else simply because they by pure chance, were born there. However, I can't turn a blind eye to destructive, sexist and complete disregard for modern society woven within archaic religious beliefs. I feel bad for the EU and Syrians, and I don't pretend to have an answer but Islamic beliefs are an issue, just as Christian bigotry has been an issue in the USA.
You'll find no defence of militant Islam from me.

Yeah, especially with the number of arsons from locals and other stuff, I'm pretty sure that raised the rate a little.

Two attackers killed in the raid, called it "successful".

Yeah, it's incredibly naïve to assume terrorists are held back by weapon availability. I'm not saying they're easy to get, but these terrorists have the time...

But your vision of "kinship" is based on nothing but a same condition - being men. Such kinship has no sociological ground, no body in real life, it's entirely philosophical. The relation you feel with your familly is not based on blood but on repeated interaction through out your life and emotional investment.
In a nation, in a city, institutions can create a body for such relation to grow. That you don't feel any kinship with people that share the same nationality means that you are not invested in those institutions or that they don't work. Let me give you an exemple : social security is an institution that create solidarity between people in a country. It create a tight relation, but most people forget the importance of such relation because of the bureacracy and the formal aspect that it takes.

Let's see how many civilians are dead before we call it successful, shall we?

The Bataclan assault is over indeed but I'm very, very scared about how many people have been killed there. I wouldn't be surprised if it's over 100.

But didnt they say there are 4 terrorists at that hotel?
