Paris Shootings and Bombings

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

So 60 people have been killed and not one word about guns mentioned by Obama. None of the liberals are talking about gun violence. Everyone is talking about how horrible Isis is and how they must be stopped.

WHY IS THIS DIFFERENT? Seriously? Why can people blame the terrorists for this, but not the douchebag kids who essentially do the same thing in schools? The only reason why they aren't talking about guns is because France has strict gun laws, and it's a completely different country so it doesn't fit their agenda.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because this (apparently) actually is terrorists, not douchebag American kids? Maybe because it's in a completely different country, and we don't make their laws?

What's so different? What makes a religious terrorist different from a social terrorist? Many of the kids plan out there attacks to the same degree as these Islamic terrorists.

You're right, we don't make their laws, but some people are pining for laws within the same vein as the ones in France. So if something like this can happen in France, why isn't that part of the discussion for any future gun laws in America?

Sort of like saying, well, the speed limit in town is 25 and yet some people still drive fast, so why have speed limits?

Why have any law if someone might break it?

Also, "This is for Syria" screamed as they were killing the people one by one in the concert hall
 
Wow, so apparently the word is this came from the refugees from Syria. So we are bringing in 200,000 of these people????

You're right, we have speed limits, but when someone breaks those laws we punish the person, not the car or the car company. We don't try to take all cars away from everyone else. If it's something small, we fine them. If it's something big, like that woman who hit three school girls in a crosswalk, we give them jail time. We talk about how that person was a horrible driver and they should be punished. We don't talk about the cars. Maybe if cars were smaller or slower they would kill less people? Maybe if we only allowed people to drive golf carts there wouldn't be any vehicle deaths? Maybe if people only rode bicycles we won't have situations like that??

We realize that the fault lies with the user, not the instrument.
 
I am not knowledgeable about too much foreign shit. Why are they picking on France? What's the motives?

Because they're there. Paris is a major city, which makes it a great target for terrorism. It's the same reason why NY is always a target. I imagine Germany will get hit too though, and soon.

The Trojan horse Trump talked about could really be happening as we speak
 
France has a huge Muslim population. I think I read somewhere that it's like 10% of their population or something like that, and it's still growing.

It might be the muslim population is treated like dirt.
 
I think a lot of Europe is becoming similar.

Maybe:
Charlie Hebdo
France's military actions in Africa
France's laws against wearing headscarves in public schools

France now has the largest Muslim population in Europe. However, ethnic minority immigrants and their descendants do not fare well in French society. A large proportion of them reside in public housing complexes in suburban communities (banlieues) that surround French cities. Public housing complexes in these areas are neglected and physically deteriorating. The neighborhoods are largely segregated and isolated the neighborhoods in Paris. They contain high concentrations of low-income immigrants. Crime is high and the schools are often substandard.

Young men in these neighborhoods are the targets of police harassment. They are stereotyped as gang members and criminals. They are referred to as "immigrants" even though most of them are citizens who were born in France. The conditions in banlieues surrounding the "City of Light" are so stark that observers refer to those communities as the "Other France."
