The people might've been dead already, it was reported from a person on first floor that they're shooting people one by one. | ||

The attacks were similar to the Mumbai attacks in '08, and demonstrated an uncomfortable level of planning. | ||

We will not know the real tally of casualties before a while. President is now heading to the concert hall | ||

What people who disagree with you think is more aligned with the real world. That as promising as life looks for all the people wanting residency in Europe, it's not really practical for parts of Europe to handle so many Syrian refugees the way that they're trying now. That such efforts ultimately hurt both sides. It's an objection on the grounds of the reality circumstances right now, and you want to refute it by appealing to a utopian principle. You do what you can. Europe may have overreached, it may not have, we'll see in time. We'll most likely also find out tomorrow whether this was a domestic attack or one committed as a result of the refugee crisis. But I reject absolutely the idea that principles disappear when the stakes are high. You do what you can and when you can't do much you don't do much and when, for practical reasons, you can't do what you'd like to you still remember what you'd like to do and you remember that you've fallen short of that. I'm not an advocate of sinking the lifeboat by trying to save it over capacity. I'm an advocate of making damn sure every seat is filled and remembering the value of those left to drown. | ||

A Radio reporter in the hall at the time said 4 guys with AKs walked in and just started spraying at the crowd. Hostage taking was never the plan. 100 dead is probably a low estimate if that's what they did. | ||

Although I would have guessed the same beforehand, please don't turn this into a debate on moderations, there's a better time and place for that. | ||
