Ok so One man opened fire with an automatic weapon at Petit Cambodge Restaurabt in the 11th district. 4-10 deaths here, situation at point where first responders are treating some/moving bodies, could be secured or could be locked down and ongoing UPDATE edit: suspect fled scene Another man took opened fire with a gun and took hostages at Bataclan arts centre. Not seeing firm numbers on deaths/injuries but appears to be the rest of the 18. Situation ongoing 3 explosions reported near the stadium. No numbers on deaths or injuries yet, early reports say grenades (?), appears to be most chaotic and fewest details, president evacuated. If this isn't coordinated I will be surprised

I always find myself wondering how far they can go before they provoke a truly next-level response from the West.

I'd say I'm looking forward to the right wing reaction if the attackers are Muslim but instead I think I'll just avoid Facebook for the evening because it'll be better for my blood pressure. Luigi Thirty posted:Say, didn't Reagan have a civil defense plan that involved throwing all black people in concentration camps in the event of civil unrest? I think I read that somewhere but I don't know where. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_prison Fried Chicken posted:So it's 18 dead with hostages remaining at a concert hall (Bataclan theater), no numbers in death or injury at the stadium yet. A few reporters are now saying they are linked but they don't have a source so I'd say assume that is speculation for now. You don't have multiple attacks in different locations at the same time and assume it to be a coincidence.

No reason not to do both; this isn't an either/or situation for tragedy opportunists.

A 7.0 earthquake occurred of the coast of Japan. Thankfully CNN has assured us that there is no danger to Alaska, the US West Coast, or BC, Canada... Nothing about Hawaii, Guam, US Somoa, or any other US territory with US citizens because CNN is the absolute worst.

CNN is pretty horrible, onTwitter #PrayForJapan is trending, Other outlets hopefully won't let this go ignored, but then the terror incident was(is) pretty horrific itself.

This is an article from earlier in the year, but I just recently discovered it, and think it's very worthwhile reading. It explores why the GOP doesn't pay the price for it's extremism. http://prospect.org/article/no-cost-extremism

PhazonLink posted:The SCOTUS thread is dead on page three, so I'll ask here, what's the current odds on the SCOTUS being terrible with the Texas issue? The SCOTUS has historically reversed/vacated more often than they affirmed. Even affirming it there there are many ways that they could be awful, and many ways that they could be amazing. One thing that would be great would be if they smack down Texas's claim that all medical restrictions on abortion only needs to meet a rational basis standard. Holding them to a higher standard would require there to be some sort of proof that there is a problem and that the law would solve it - both hurdles that these TRAP laws can't manage to clear because regulating the screws used in the door frame is only connectable to women's health via seriously twisted logic and hypotheticals that never happen in the real world. Who knows how likely that would be though.
