Manhunt In Paris For "Terrorist" Gunman On The Loose
As reported earlier today, Paris was the latest city to succumb to a rogue shooter when a gunman shot a photographer at left-leaning French newspaper Liberation, following by a shooting near the headquarters of French bank SocGen.
The lone gunman is shown on the picture below.
How the Paris situation differs from numerous such incidents taking place recently in the US, however, is that so far the gunman has not been captured or otherwise "incapacitated." Furthermore, as was reported subsequently, the Paris prosecutors are now treating the shooting as a "terrorist" case. And now, as the WSJ reports, Paris in now gripped in a manhunt for the gunman who is currently on the loose.
From the WSJ:
A manhunt was under way in central Paris Monday for a lone gunman who police suspect of two separate shootings and a brief hostage taking, in a series of events that Paris prosecutors are treating as a terrorist case, a spokeswoman said.
It was unclear what motivated the attacks—which sparked confusion across the French Capital—or what the possible thread was linking them, police said. The spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor's office didn't provide any additional details. Paris Prosecutor François Molins is scheduled to hold a news conference later Monday.
In the first incident, a man opened fire Monday morning at the Paris headquarters of left-leaning newspaper Libération, leaving a 27-year old assistant photographer badly wounded. Shortly afterward, a gunman appeared outside the headquarters of French bank Société Générale SA in the business district of La Defense, a bank spokeswoman said. The man fired shots but there were no injuries or casualties at the bank.
The assailant then fled the business district, taking one man hostage and forcing him to drive to the Champs Élysées in central Paris before liberating him, a police officer said. A police helicopter was circling the famous Paris thoroughfare as officials seek to identify and capture the man.
Police are acting on the hypothesis that the same man is behind all events, police officials said. The police officer said the same bullets were used in both incidents on Monday morning. Witnesses said in both cases the shooter was wearing a dark coat, police said.
Many businesses in the areas where the man was sighted were tightening security.
That said, the most important component of the New Normal, confidence, has been preserved:
Laurent Nunez, chief of staff for the Paris police head, said officials had no insights on the gunman's motivations. He said police were conducting checks across Paris to try to capture him, including in the metro, the extensive underground transportation system that blankets the city.
"Very honestly, nobody has alerted to any sense of panic in the city," said Mr. Nunez.
A spokeswoman for the RATP, which operates the metro, said traffic was moving normally. She said the company had not received any instructions from police to tighten security.
And some more confirmation that no matter what, Paris just refuses to panic:
A gunman next appeared in front of Société Générale's skyscraper headquarters, located in western Paris.
"The man looked very calm and determined," said Pierre-Albert Garcias, a community manager at the bank who witnessed the shooting. Mr. Garcias told French television all people present in the hallway immediately took shelter, fearing that the shooter would take aim at them, but that there were no scenes of widespread panic.
Truly admirable. Who would have though that none other than the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy would become the normative directive of the New Normal. And now, if only the NSA could step in and help out the staunch socialist friend of the US by putting an end to this latest "terrorist" act, everything can go back to normal.

Anybody seen Alec Baldwin lately?
Sudden Debt took the train from Brussels this morning. S&P 1800 pushed him over the edge. Inspector Clouseau is on his tail!
Shelter in place
Better lock down all of Paris!
Cower and wet yourself in place...I think the French have that covered.
Hey, how'd the Tea Party get over there?
There's a French CIA?
but I thought Paris was a gun free zone.
oh crap, wait a minute...
Yeah free body cavity search for everyone :-)
Yea, yea, yea. Everyone's a "Terrorist" now. It's actually great news. The Criminal real Terrorists from around the world have watered down the term & use of it so much it doesn't mean dick anymore to anyone except the Criminal World Governments & The Global Criminal Oligarch Cabal Bankster Intelligence Crime Syndicate.
Why is his face blurred out?
That's what I was thinking.
Seriously why is is blurred out?
Can't allow the public the opportunity to independently identify the shooter before an individual with the appropriately conservative political leanings can be framed by the government, now, can we?
The pic is probably from a movie and they don't want you to recognize the actor.
Looks like a false flag. They will probably blame Le Pen's daughter who opposes open borders.
Looks like a lone guy with a pump action shotgun has a major city in a panic.
I laugh at the bullshit that occurred with that fake ass Boston bomber false flag. If those muslim brothers had been in a red state with guns - they would not have lasted an afternoon.
It seems like many of these false flags occur in blue states where the populace are naive. Watch the Sandy Hoax videos on youtube. Amazing.
Tea Partiers...our most insidious export to date.
well...face blurred or not, the shooter is the guy running around the streets of Paris shooting people. You can identify him that way.
The shooter IS blurry.
That is the problem!
Because so far he is "allegedly" the shooter. Don't want to slander a potential innocent after all. This guy walking around with the shotgun at the ready could just have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Yep, might hurt his feelings, which might make him violent.
Can we lock-down France now?
is the food better in the Paris prisons?
Agent,
Also, don't forget
it is a civilized nation and society
not my kind of place, but you have to give them credit for being civilized
Law enforcement and transportation staff have his picture. That's all that matters. They will get him and it won't end in a big American style shoot out. Paris won't get locked down and police coming to search houses.
But Boston SWAT just scrambled....
Doing their part in the Paris manhunt, NYPD just shot a bunch of random people standing on a subway platform.
#BetterSafeThanSorry
Don't you know about that new igagit that blurs out your face in all the nearby cameras? You been living under a rock or something?
so they can use him again
To protect a government operative?
Excuse me, but the preferred nomenclature is "security contractor."

Time to put on my shorts...
Remain calm and eat your baguette
C'est toi Blaise...
I'm calling bullshit. There are no firearms in private hands in Europe.
Number of guns per capita by country
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country
Very interesting.
Switzerland is definitely my fall back country of choice.
The Yemen bit was a little unexpected.
Yeah, if you're willing to be conscripted in the military service and having to renew your training each year. Then yes, you can have yo gunz.
No problem. Good to know someone has their shit together. Where do I sign up.
To get residence in Switzerland - plan on having at least $15 million. Forget about citizenship. Austria and the Czech Republic are also just about impossible for citizenship as well.
I'm balling Tina Turner. Does that help?
and what is wrong with participating in protecting your country? Note I am not talking about protecting other countries like we do....but protecting your own country!
Well, there is people who are not willing to go through mandatory military service (1 year at least I believe), or having to put their private time to renew training each year. Considering that many people even oppose mandatory voting, well... And I really doubt there is much to be romanticed about military service, unless you find running, cleaning and brooming exciting.
I'll tell you this....it beats the fuck out of occupation any day...unless you're French
All countries are under government occupation.
I like the training bit every year.
Recently there was a referendum in Switzerland if conscription should be abolished or not. The Swiss voted for keeping it...so I guess they are willing.
Serbia is nr 2. after the US. But there is nowhere near the amount of homocides in Serbia compared relatively with the US.
BREAKING: French government surrenders to gunman in Paris. Army moved to Dunkirk for evacuation.
Junk for that? Come on! That's fucking golden.
I know? Best post of the month.
The world would be a better place if all governments behaved like that.
They need gun control laws in France and the EU, sheesh.
We need a ban on long, black raincoats as well.
12 gauge, a gun i wouldnt want to be shot with.
EDIT
why dont they show his face??
It's clearly a belt fed AR-15...look closer
Ummm... no. That's a shotgun, without a doubt. First, there no sights. Next, you can see the pump action. The "belt" appears to be a sling and/or a bag.
Do we have to administer another beating? Repeat after me: AR-15. That fact that is is belt fed is just hyperbole but why not, it's France after all.
(edit) /sarc
Guys it's clearly an AK47 chambered in 50 cal.
Ah, sorry, it is a scary thing that must be banned in the USA. You aren't seeing it right. Forget what your eyes see and reach out with your feelings.
It's a fucking evil AR15! Clearly...
I didn't think I'd need a sarc on that one...
Sorry, you got me with the "look closer" comment.
Obvious troll is obvious! Sheesh!
Why didn't he saw the barrel down? Is the building full of doves or something?
Some other assholes on here will arrive shortly to insist that it is a Mini-14.
It is a pulsed plasma rifle, and what should really scare people is...well what if the shooter IS blurry?
A BFG.
It is a mini-14.
It does not matter what you think you see, It will be reported as an assault rifle.
I'll assume you're being fascious .... Pump action shotgun.
Pump action AR-15 you mean.
I take it it got re-designated as terrorism when it became clear he shot a Left wing, bleading heart liberal, who has ruined the lives of billions across Europe?
An assistant something something was shot, a nobody without a byline. At SocGe no one was even hit. No target.
I'd like to see you squeeze off a round in France and not hit a left wing, bleeding heart liberal.
Or any of a myriad of large metropolitan areas in EU or the US.
He can't be French. He hasn't dropped the gun yet.
Holy shit! It could be ze Germans! At least they right sized the blitzkrieg this time. Save some resources for the east.
I just heard that the first evacuees from Paris have ariived at Rick's, and have taken all the best tables.
Why don't they just make it a gun free zone?
I mean, come on.
Another shooter takes Joe Biden's advice and goes with the shotgun.
This guy went all out and went with the pump instead of the Joe b balcony side by side.
I own a Franchi O/U...when I want a SxS, I just shoot it gangsta style.
Need to find my peril sensitive glasses and my towell..
Looks like that guy has a shotgun. And yes, why blur his face and then report that your looking for him? Multiple Gladio type gunmen on the loose?
Thought the same.
We are asking the public to help us find this man.... whats that you say? Its blurry? Oh yes, well we have to protect his identity.
Peter Graves is rolling in his.
A shotgun? Must be Joe Biden.
One day that Maginot Line is going to stop someone...
But not today it seems.
Sadly, it is hard to find new jokes about the French. I lived there for ten years and I got nothin but white flags and tanks with four reverse gears.
The only line that would stop him is the line for the coffee shop....he would go elsewhere..but then again..if he comes to your coffee shop..do not ask him how many shots he wants...and don´t complaign about his little tip
Can’t help wondering about the geezer with the cane. Is he making good his escape or just doing a “Mr. Magoo” - blissfully unaware of the imminent danger?
Guess he made it up the stairs OK. Good on ya, Grandpere.
The geezer may actually be the terrorist on the run ...
Gotta love the old dude--don't know, don't care, just head up the stairs.
Did they abri sur place?
Ha you beat me to it! And in French no less
No 'shelter in place' order? ....newbs
All kidding aside....
It' says something when France makes Boston look like complete fags.
The French got complacent in their fagginess, I bet they thought they would be number one forever without even trying. Recent events in the US show that we are going for the title of the gayest place on earth. Must be why they elected an outright socialist.
"I'm afraid we are going to have to liberate George."
"Liberate, you mean liquidate?"
"Lets see that film on blinding techniques, then grab some lunch shall we?"
What's the diference between a rogue with a gun and a rogue with a drone?
They are both probably "controlled" by a rogue administration....
So...no difference
Electoral votes.
The view.
The blurry face is to help promote kids reading from a script.

Excerpts from below video: 700, seven hundred, 700 people. You’re supposed to take care of us! That’s about 18 people killed a day. What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do after your financially fleeced childen?
Demand Common Sense Gun Laws
Paris Strong.
The French should probably surrender and hope for the best.
Probably should practice the Horst-Wessel song....in case they forgot.
Will they lock down the entire city and violate everyone's rights?
Unbelievable, the French demonstrate moxie with a gunman on the loose versus the cowards of Boston who cowered in their homes on the orders of the Mayor.
Oh well, another sign of the death of America. Does anyone Remember Concord, April 19, 1775?
Wasn't that a movie about a really loud airplane or something?
Touché, American hollywood has replaced reality. Nicolas Cage was pretty good in his day.
Do you like gladiator movies?
He is obviously taking the Yellow Line (1) to La Defense, the business district. Where is the French Central Bank?
"We will leave no stone unturned looking for the perpetrator of this dispicable crime...
Right after lunch."
And perhaps a nap.
A fine wine and some pungent brie.
i swear they are going to say the guy is Bruno Boulefkhad. The reason his face his blurred is it was probably not him for real
Maybe they unblur the photo of the alleged shooter, calling inspector Clueso!
Pink panther music in the background, get Inpector Clouseau immediately.
