Attacks in Paris

Why Paris though?
Why do the terrorists target France?

Do you blame him?

Two major terrorists attacks in less than a year on your watch. He's bound to feel responsible it's how he and his government responds determines how history views him.

He may think that its a test of his mettle to rectify things? Perhaps he may steel himself to take the fight to the terrorists? I don't know enough about French politics but he may feel any likely successor would be floundering if this happened again?

An emotive subject, such terrible terrible news, people are understandably very upset by the news. RIP those innocents that have lost their lives, I just hope the death toll isnt as high as is being predicted.

Tonight is not a night for arguing or slagging others off, but for thinking about those that have lost their lives. Think on, pointing fingers and blaming people when we dont know all the facts is the wrong thing to do IMO.

Again RIP those that are no longer with us.

why?

He just looks a broken man, i know if i was president and nearly 200 people had died in my capital on my watch i would tender my resignation, he has failed to protect his borders and population

Theyre an easy target unfortunately. Dont have the security or intelligence to track who comes in or out or who even lives in france

It's pretty easy to travel across mainland Europe, guess it's just logical for them and they have pretty well segregated ethnic areas to hide out in

The problem I have is if these were carried out by immigrants, why would anyone's first response be "Yes, let's continue doing this thing that's killing us!" It's insane and irrational to defend a system that just cause 118 people to die.

If they aren't immigrants, he's creating the notion that these attackers were immigrants. Which is almost as bad. We can bullshit all day in this forum but nobody cares what we say. He's just given the impression to millions of Twitter users that immigrants did commit this act.

My position is to listen to the intelligence communities when they say Isis is using the immigrant fiasco to move cells into Europe. That would be the sensible position. Because it didn't look like any real, vigorous screening was happening in Germany. More important than the immigrant problem, we must go after Isis.

I don't know if it's because it's late, but I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. I think he was responding to the allegations that they were refugees or immigrants, rather than suggesting it himself.

Regardless, calling him "scum" for a relatively innocuous, seemingly rational tweet seemed a bit extreme. Surely the terrorists perpetrating the attacks are the scum here, not an insignificant tool like Morgan.
