  • MAN SHOT DEAD IN PARIS ON THURSDAY CARRIED MOBILE PHONE AND SHEET OF PAPER WITH ISLAMIC STATE FLAG AND CLAIM OF RESPONSIBILITY

*  *  *

It goes without saying that France is on edge following the attacks by Islamic State that left some 130 people dead in Paris on a Friday night that will forever live in infamy.

The alleged ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud - who was emir of war in Deir Ezzour - was also planning to attack the French capital's La Defense business district. We say “was” because Abaaoud was blown to pieces in a siege on an apartment in Saint-Denis.

But the “cause” didn’t die with the Paris “mastermind” and now, the French live in a perpetual state of angst that’s even more acute now than it was in the wake of Charlie Hebdo.

Speaking of Charlie Hebdo, today is the one year anniversary of the horrific attacks that left 12 people dead at the offices of the satire mag. Apparently, one man decided to “celebrate” by attacking a police station in Northern Paris - with a knife.

According to multiple reports, the would-be assailant shouted “Allahu Akbar” before attempting to enter the building.

He was promptly shot.

“He fell immediately,” Luc Poignant, a police union representative, told BFM.

Apparently, there were “wires on the man,” and so, a bomb squad robot was sent in to “inspect” his corpse.

Although the explosive vest appears to have been fake, schools in the area were closed as a precaution. "Two schools on Goutte d’Or street, were closed and the children locked inside," Bloomberg reports. “We must be constantly vigilant", Pierre-Henry Brandet, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, said. 

Indeed we must, because as Charlie Hebdo notes on the cover of its anniversary edition, "the assassin is still out there"...

Okay. It's possible, but it's hard to imagine anyone of moderate intelligence would want to hang out in a useless pile of sand with smelly camels and goats as their only company.

That's not to say Hindus didn't have their fair share of numbskulls too.

Maybe it was the low start up costs of really cheap real estate that drew the marginal players.

Go back several thousand years where it was cooler and the glaciers were larger. That area wasn't the desert it is today.

It becomes interesting when you understand that Muslims on pilgrimage are walking round what is a Hindu "Lingam"; a giant representation of a dick, and vagina.

Yeah, I can see where an odd chunk of iron would lose it's appeal without a little something extra added to jazz it up.

Celebrating genitalia makes a lot more sense anyway.

I do it whenever the mood strikes, but the wife ain't buying that sneaking one off in public anymore.

I agree. The Hindus invented zero. These are not people who worship meteorites.

Probably didn't have a knife or fake exploding vest.

So let's all hide in gated-communities and behind walls and separation fences.

I normally shoot with a gun, not a knife. And I never bomb vests. (I sort of like vests, actually. They keep your core warm whilst leaving your arms free for action!) Sorry, need more coffee.

It was a tossup, as so many posts are these days.

I downrated you for the vest reference, cause vests are fucking ghay.

But the rest of you seems cool so the uprate stays.

However, if you wear sweater vests that makes you queer as fuck.

And you join my downrater group.

Wow. I've never heard of a gun that uses knives as ammunition. The French are clever, no?

I am trying to figure out how a knife can be used to shoot someone.

"According to multiple reports, the would-be assailant shouted “Allahu Akbar” before attempting to enter the building."

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this guy was a drop-out from the Jihad Joe Strategy Planning Classes.
