#1 "At least 11 people were killed ..."

So does that mean that the future won't belong to them?

Islam is peace! And don't pay attention to the islamization behind the curtain!

#3 "Now, Francois," said he, Husseinsplaining,
"There's nothing to gain by complaining!
Too bad about Charlie,
But let's act maturely
And increase diversity training."

#4 Maybe France will think twice about whom it imports for slave labor?

Nah...
No more than the US does.

#5 Maybe the French will think twice about what they publish for cartoons? More likely.

You'd better be wearing your Depends before you climb on that soap box. The government may punish the Mohammedan perp, but you're still dead over a cartoon, and the perp still gets his virgins.

Since it's a slippery slope, the solution is no Mohammedans in France. Things have to get a lot worse before that happens.

Or convert.

Unfortunately, the truth.

#13 Note the shooter in the third frame, lower left. The slight build, arm length, enlarged head cover, height, [as compared to the other shooter] might indicate a female.

#14 Shoe which fell out of vehicle and was retrieved by shooter, may have been a part of post-attack disguise. [gun person slips out of black jumpsuit, black books and into mufti] Why take time to pick up a shoe if it was not needed later.

#15 At least one of the witnesses is telling attackers were "Black". But, since one of the hypothesis traces to Yemen there is in Yemen an ethnia whose skin is darker than the one of real Blacks but in addition to have different faces (and slo different to the ones of the Nilotics like Massais and Tutsis) have hands and feet completely black while Blacks have lighter palms and foot plants. I had the occasion to see one of them. It was bizarre. However a witness who is busy trying to find civer will not notice the difference.

#16 After reviewing the vid a fifth time, it is apparent the driver of the black vehicle is a/the leader, person in charge. The passenger [person who picked up shoe] has a much shorter stride, slight hip sway, again indicating the possibility of a female shooter.

#17 I see what you are seeing Beso.

When shoe dropper picks up, am I seeing squared shoulders, possibly body armor?

#18 U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry commented on the terror attack at the Paris office of Charlie Hedbo, saying the U.S. stands with France in "the commitment to confronting extremism" and preserving freedom.

#19 The attack made sure that the future won't belong to those to whom the POTUS doesn't want the future to belong.

How can Kerry's condemnation then be plausible and believable?

#20 *JFM notes in the parallel thread they had on body armor, wondering if I am seeing confirmation.

#21 Jawn Carrey is an expert on both the Bible and Crayon, and has a boat, so we should take his word on an event too exposed to ignore. Besides, they need second and third tier apparatchiks to charge the media hill so numbero uno doesn't get caught in an awkward side by side with his Future Belongs pledge.

Same tactic with the slaying of the NY Police Officers: stay quiet, send Biden.

Throw up engough chaff of vagueries and islamapohic racists and boom, fold right into SOTU, problem solved.

#24 No swkssoff. I didn't see body armor I only reasoned that pistol bullets aren't powerful enough to pierce bidy armoir.

#25 Sorry I misstated you, it did get me thinking. The leader's clothes are bulky and movement seem a bit hampered, though that could be layers of clothes considering the temperature.

#31 Besoeker: French police is looking for two brothers in their early thirties and a 18 years old teenager. This could explain the lighter build. Islamists have already use women for suicidal bombing but it would be the first time they sent a woman for actual combat.

#32 Business Insider reports the police have identified all three jihadis:

According to Metro, by Wednesday evening local time French law enforcement was aware of the names and birthdates of the alleged perpetrators. Metro reported one of the suspects is 34 years old, another is 32 years old, and the third is 18 years old.

The two older men are reportedly brothers, French citizens, and residents of Paris. Metro reported the younger man is a student whose nationality is unknown and has no fixed address.

Le Point reported French police were focusing on two suspects whom the magazine described as "French-Algerian." According to Le Point the two men, who were 32 and 34-years old, returned to France from Syria last summer.

According to Le Point, in 2008, one of these men was tied to an Iraqi network in Paris that allegedly encouraged young men to join militants in Iraq. The magazine reported he was also arrested in 2005 as he attempted to travel to Damascus. In addition to the two men, Le Point said police were looking for a suspect who was born in 1996 and has no fixed address.

#33 Thanks JFM. Yes, that could explain a slighter build. I wouldn't be surprised to see the entire lot in custody relatively soon. Obviously another one of these situations where the perps are already on the radar screen.
