Don't fry me, I'm no chicken!
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

my main hunch would be ISIS or some sub-group of theirs. Though it could be a french right wing group.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

It's what, 10 PM there? Probably a lot of people out and about just enjoying the start of their weekend. :(

Yes, and the 10th and 11th arrondissement in particular are heavily populated at this time of night, lots of bars.

At least 7 injured, also explosions. You could hear it in the TV broadcast of France-Germany which is happening in the Stade de France right now. People are not allowed to leave the stadium.

President Hollande was at the stadium and has been evacuated, apparently.

Apparently ISIL twitter is blowing up right now, so it's looking very possible that ISIL or an ISIL-affiliated group is responsible.

Some context for this for non-Middle East thread readers: ISIL did another suicide attack that killed 43 people in a Shia/Hezbollah neighborhood in Beirut, Lebanon a couple days ago because Hezbollah is supporting Assad.

ISIL also just got their asses handed to them with defeats in Sinjar and Al Hawl, as well as Jihadi John being killed, and they're mad about it. ISIL tends to be sore losers, they did a super deadly suicide attack (200+ killed) on Kobani after they lost Tal Abyad.

Targets are seemingly random, except for the stadium (where François Hollande was present, but he was likely not a target). At the Bataclan theatre, the show was something called Eagles of Death Metal, so not relevant to anything.

Correct. It's actually close by (not super close, but a few blocks from) the Bataclan where hostages have been taken.

I don't know what drum you're trying to beat, but there is no way this is actually some sort of ISIS-led military attack. Not any more than the dozens (hundreds?) of other terrorist attacks they've made in the past years.
