They probably had a quick backstage way to hide and/or exit.

The band was on stage. Gunmen came in the front, complete opposite side of building. Band escaped out back. Some of their crew still missing.

This. If you watch CNN there is a journalist named Julien Pearce who was at the show and he says he was able to escape because he was at the front of the stage and just bolted out the backstage door, which was the closest exit. He said the venue held close to 1000 people ( so think a small 9:30 club or the Fillmore), and that it was packed with people, and in his opinion was probably over sold or over capacity. Gunmen came in through the front. So the only way out was to get out the back or to hide. He said he was able to run out the back when he heard the gunmen reloading. That they were just there randomly shooting people, there was no planned hostage demands, etc. They didn't even talk to the people.

Um, how would anyone know that? The mark of terrorism is that it's unexpected.

MI5 feared a revenge attack related to or inspired by the killing of Jihadi John.

But they don't know if the attack is related to Jhadi John. It's obvious this attack was well planned based on the scope and magnitude. Jhadi John was killed yesterday. This thing was not planned overnight.

How difficult is it to walk into a building and shoot people? I'm not sure it takes as much planning as you think.

This wasn’t just one site. It was several. It took planning to coordinate this attack. It also took planning to get the arms and weapons together and into these locations undetected. It has been in the planning for some time, of that we can be sure.
The revenge for the killing of Jihadi John is being planned now, I would guess.
These are pure evil animals.

Not only coordination, but the French have banned civilian ownership of guns as so many of you want here in the U.S. They can't protect themselves when attacked. Even their police leave their guns at the station at he end of the shift. Total stupidity. One off duty French police officer could have saved so many.

Instead they died on their knees.

Breaks my heart. Mark Levin tonight said "Thank God for the 2nd Amendment". Amen sir, Amen.

Still wrong. The number of people killed in gun accidents is far greater than the number of people killed in terrorist gun attacks.

Hmm. So you think that if there was no gun control in France that all those concert goers should have packed their weapons in their bags as they headed out for the evening to shoot their pistols against the crazy armed terrorist suspects who were shooting at them with automatic weapons?

Yes, thanks to the Second Amendment we never have mass shootings in the U.S., Oh, wait. . .

Some used a pump shotgun.

I can assure you that there is nothing in the Qur'an that condones the slaughter of non-combatant civilians including woman and children. Mohammaed did not do this either. Warfare was a part of every religion/region back in those times, but they did not slaughter civilians.

this is disturbing by far..

Your JJ revenge killing assumption only works if this was a sleeper cell that was activated to avenge JJs death. These people knew their targets, and where police security would or could not be readily available. This is the third attack on France in less than a year. I'm thinking these attackers are home-grown and not new refugees.

Lol, yeah, OK.

You are more than welcome to show hard evidence that Islam or Mohammed supported the killing of civilians, especially woman and children. Good luck on that journey of finding a reputable source though. But I wouldn't even waste your time tbh, that is not the purpose of this thread.

And who is going to go after the weapons traders who enabled them to get the guns ? Without the weapons, what are they ?

People don't seem to get that aspect : un-regulated machine gun smuggling, sales and gun dealers selling weapons to all parties of conflict in Middle East without a care for anything but counting their money.

Let's publish THEIR names ... " mass murder sponsored by ..."

How we need to train first law enforcement on the scene to respond immediately.....there can be no waiting for "tactical" units to respond because the perpetrators expect to die. Even if the first responders can't sort out the innocent vs. perpetrators in the moment, it is still better for the greater group of innocent people for the immediate response to neutralize the situation asap.

I guess I understand that approach, and the need for it in dire circumstances, but it sent a chill through my bones. How horrible to be in law enforcement faced with such a situation.

We were in France for a month this past summer. They are a bit more revved up than what you describe and have been for some time.

For example, it is not "law enforcement " per se that is first to respond. Yes, the have a police force, but more visibly all of Paris, Lyon and other major cities and ALL of the major train stations have the military out in full flak jackets and machine giuns at the ready ,walking right by the back packer college kids and train passengers. Many also have K-9 with them.

We saw a few chador wearing women with their husbands and kids waiting fro trains and when these pairs of military patrols would come through the station, they would just melt away ( dissapear ) Literally, I'd look down to sip my expresso, look up and see the flak jacket guys and the muslims would be just gone.

The French will deal with them. No doubt in my mind.

Good. Every other European country should follow suit. So tragic.

Getting control of the borders will be a huge issue in the next US election, as well as in upcoming elections in Europe.

Yes, it is too sad. The innocents are always the ones who suffer, including the innocent Syrian refugee families who are really so thankful to their host countries and bear no ill will at all. In fact, the generosity and warm welcome in many areas of some countries had already swayed hearts and minds of many who previously had mixed feelings towards the "West". Terrorists provoke and trigger retaliation and that's what they want, to be able to say: look how they are treating "us", and then they fill their ranks. Ugh, it is depressing!
