France24 reporting 7 different shootings, 3 bombings (2 of which have been confirmed as suicide bombings) and the Bataclan event.
Comment has been collapsed.
gotta see how many of these shootings were connected to terrorist attack itself. I remember that during coordinated terrorist bombings in London there were also reports of shootings etc - turned out some lowlifes decided to take advantage of all the chaos, conducted armed robberries etc - hoping the blame will be put on attackers instead.

Yup, that's what they think is going on with the fire at the Sudanese camp in Calais right now as well.
The lowlifes always come out to take advantage of the situation even when it's evil like this.
Comment has been collapsed.
sadly it's nothing new - read about mass shop robberries in NYC right after WTC attacks :/ All police forces are occupied with the crysis so the criminals take advantage that either noone will notice them in whole chaos or even if someone does there will be no forces left to react :/

Can I ask if you even read the Koran? Because I have read a translated Koran and you should check up on words like Sharia, Jihad,Taqiyya, Tawriya, Kitman and Muruna. The end goal of Islam is to assimilate all other religions and people so that in the end only Islam remains. Denying this is denying the light of the sun....
Also do you have the balls to say this to the relatives of the (for the moment) more than 140 executed people that French news describes the perpetrators as Syrian Islamic terrorists that according to eyewitnesses were chanting Allahoe akbar while they were executing hostages at point blank range?????

I think you should avoid this discussion about killing and Mass murdering. Should I recall you Gaza ? Fyi I'm muslim and I lived 5 years in Paris, studying, working and had great time there. So stop putting a religion as the main factor since you are not fully aware OR you pretend to be.
Comment has been collapsed.
Most religions believe they should be the only religion, Christianity is the same, its one of the ten commandments. Acting like that is unique to Islam is stupid.

ShanaPlayer: Why is this on steamgifts.com? lol..
SteamGIFTS. Why are YOU on Steamgifts? lol...
This is on Steamgifts because it is news, it is important, and it probably affects every single person (except apparently you) in the world in one way or another, directly or indirectly. People are sad, they want to talk about it, they want to express themselves. If you don't want to do such things and only want to continue to enter giveaways, there was no need for you to click on this topic was there?
Now, if you don't mind, please answer the question I posed to you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oooh, buuuurn. I'm totally stealing that question from now on.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was probably a bit harsh to that person but wrong place, wrong time for them to say such a thing. I didn't think it was very appropriate.
We're gamers after all and many of us bury our heads in the sand and just want to play. So when something this huge happens in the world, maybe once in a while we should look up and take notice. Don't have to do anything but at least feel bad for those affected, those innocent men women and children who lost their lives.
And above all else, don't say anything to make it seem like their lives meant nothing, even if you don't know anyone who was there. Because one day it might be your world, your life that this happens to and imagine someone commenting about how it doesn't matter and why people even care about it.
Steamgifts is a world community after all.
I think it was the "lol" from that person more than anything that was utterly disrespectful.

Thank you for your attempt at sarcasm and the English language.
It will help save the lives of many people.
You should post it on your facebook wall.
It will really help.
Snark and sarcasm can be done by anyone, it doesn't make you special at all. Nothing wrong with sharing and passing things on. Have a great day and I really hope nothing like this ever happens to you or anyone you know.

So I am curious. Can you make a 16 inch shell rocket assisted?

I am afraid that passing such images on provides people with an easy and effortless way to clean their consciousness and makes them believe that they have satisfied their obligation to help others. If someone feels bound to do something about the case, the last thing she/he should do is to post such images. Such actions are meaningless and changes nothing at all. There were millions of pictures shared because of the attack on Charlie Hebdo and nothing has been done to make the situation better.
I wish you all the best in life too and I don't mean to insult or provoke you in any way. I may be overreacting and exacurating because of what have happened. Additionally, the fact that I am going to see hunders of similar pictures posted on social media combined with the knowledge that there will be little done to prevent similar terorrist attackt in the future is quite depressing.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think you're reading way too much into it. It's a simple yet well put image to help people put a sigh in a moment of chaos that has happened today. To say the action is meaningless is wrong, if it gets people thinking or talking it is not meaningless. If you want to say it is meaningless in the war against terror, that's a different argument but still who are we to say who something may or may not inspire.
After Charlie Hebdo there were not any huge steps towards stopping terrorism made, but there were changes made that most people don't even notice, the one being the most important today would be the fact that the media did not say a thing about police movement or activity. They followed the gag orders and did their best to allow the police to do their jobs and put a stop to this event.
We all do what we can or choose to do to help, from donating time or money to charities or passing along pamphlets for a cause, joining in protest rallies or speeches or even joining a service in our country. In the middle of chaos unfolding in front of us we can be silent or be heard. I'd much rather be heard than be silent. Even if it's only by one person and they do not agree with me, at least I've done something and that's always better than doing nothing.

Why would guns laws matter...do Americans bring guns to cafes, rock concerts and sports events, aka three of the places these events have happened? Because if you do that thats terrifying.
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly...and if France didn't have tougher gun laws, there would probably more terrorists involved in today's attack. Not only that, but if France had more ease to get guns, every day there would be more French people dying due to guns accidentally or rage or just for the heck of it.
This is a terribly tragic event and gun laws or wild wild west laws, it still happened and its just so sad these things are commonplace around our world nowadays.
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, actually a lot of us do, i conceal carry any time i leave the house as do many Americans, you never hear on the news of anyone getting shot by one of us ether because the person being shot would be a criminal/murderer/rapist and that wouldn't fit the liberal medias agenda:)
what some people dont seem to understand is gun laws only stop good responsible people from protecting themselves and others because criminals dont obey laws so you really think someone saying they cant have a gun is going to stop them from having one and using it,when you ban or restrict guns from people the only people that will have them are bad people who will then use them on the good people who can no longer defend themselves.
anyways terrible tragedy going on over there my prays will be with them,we will leave our freedoms or lack there of out of this sorry for bringing it up:)

Pretty much this, I mean just ask New York City how the ban on guns has stopped criminals from accessing them.

There are mass shootings every month in America. Those are because of relaxed gun laws. Suddenly, a coordinated terror attack succeeding is the fault of tough gun laws? Did America's gun laws help with stopping 9/11? Because the attacks on France are in that scale.
Comment has been collapsed.
yea there are mass shootings in the usa and only 2 out of all of them in the past 20 years have not taken place in "gun free zones" were people were not allowed to defend themselves or there children,and no gun laws did not help with 9/11 those were jumbo jets flying into office buildings, these are idiots with guns big difference there...how do you think these guys are going to be stopped? with fairy dust and unicorn kisses? no they will be stopped with GUNS by the police...
Comment has been collapsed.
I have no issue with the authorities having guns. Citizens having guns is another issue altogether. The fact that there are mass shootings at all is the issue.
You obviously come from a place where you feel the need of something to supplement you as a whole and I was born and raised in a culture and country that doesn't seem to be as violent as yours. I foresee we will not agree on this and we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Comment has been collapsed.
thats fine by me,i was raised in the woods with firearms as part of my life and i am very skilled with them and ill be damned if i become a victim without fighting back if your ok with being a victim thats up to you,you were raised in a different society were you were forced to trust your life to other peoples hands(police) i was raised to defend my family and my own life above all else,i am 42 and have carried a hidden gun on my body my whole life and luckily to this day have never needed to use it on another human being,i do not carry it to "supplement" myself, in fact its a pain in the ass to carry, keep clean and safe but i do it for the protection of myself and people around me.
now tell me honestly would it have really been so bad had say 5-10 of the people in that theater been carrying a gun (like they would be in the usa) and were able to shoot back at these guys and possibly kill a few of them or in the very least give time for others there to escape from there while they were shooting back? now i understand the culture you grew up in dont like guns but as long as we live in a world of violence it only make since to me for good people to defend themselves and other innocents around them,and dont get me wrong police and are a great resource unfortunately they are almost always to late.

Bio warfare is another possibility, don't forget about the zombie apocalypse!
Seriously though, you are right. The end of humanity won't come from space, alien attack or asteroid or sun exploding billions of years from now. We will destroy it ourselves, probably much sooner than any of us even realize.

Bio and Chemical, as well yeah.
God know how much money used to invent new, high-tec weapons. Resources are wasted on how to kill other people, how to destroy other facilities more effectively and efficiently. At the end of day, We are nothing more than suicide.

who ? Terrorists saying they did that for Syria, at least for the shooting and hostages and kills in Bataclan, not confirmed about bombings near Stade de France.
why ? Because they were brainless, like any people thinking there may be a so-called God asking to kill people. If there is a God somewhere, every day news prove that he lost and Devil has won.

France has troops in many countries. It could be any number of groups until it's confirmed by someone, not some hysterics on the internet.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm in France and we don't know who did this. But there is at least 100 people killed and at least the same number highly injuried.
It seems that the terrorists has been all killed by French security. The French security is keeping information until the end of investigation.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, all this "multi-culture" idea is apparently all wrong. It's just not working; we see it tragically often yet we never learn. Instead of being more strict to the muslims and immigrants, we (the goverements in general, not the citizens) are more open and happilly welcome them to our countires :/
We should of course try to be open minded and not judge the people by their race/religion/country of origin, but not at the cost of our lives!
