Anyone in Paris?

Man it's so crazy me and my girlfriend were staying at 90 Rue de Charonne about a month ago.... lots of photos taken from that exact address with bodies all over the street

Ya, thats crazy.  Adds a bit of perspective hu?  These events really are tragic. 

Yeah but I think that kind of thinking is exactly what terrorists want people to feel

Best way to respond is to give literally no ****s and not change one part of your life for the *******s

Ya, I do agree, but we still have to morn the loss of life.

Read this article recently and it was a very good read: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-isis-really-wants/384980/

Stuff like this saddens me. My thoughts are with Europe as they continue to endure the struggle of dealing with the burden of the Middle East.

This was a really good read

I certainly don't disagree with the sentiment, and I do understand it.  But you're asking people to go against one of the most basic human instincts (something bad happened there, let's stay away for a bit - pattern recognition and all that).  Again, I do understand what you're saying, but to condemn (not saying you're taking it quite that far, but some are) others for wanting to be safe hardly seems like the best thing to do.

I hope the French police and counter-insurgence will give some ****s.

Yeah sorry I don't think I communicated the safety part well - I'm not condemning people who are acting more safe or vigilantly

I think being safe and acting fearful though are not necessarily one in the same - it always helps to be vigilant or as Jeff Cooper puts it "condition yellow"
