You can justify anything using the right framework. And though I agree it's possible to have empathy towards some and not others, that in itself as far as I'm concerned is a manifestation of a kind of mental illness, be that illness personal or, like the Nazis, a facet of mass hysteria.

It's not naive or lazy to think people are crazy. Everyone is to a degree.

Do you have more empathy for your parents, siblings, other half and children than for Bob down the road or Mbutu in Africa?

Having more empathy for some over others isn't odd or a mental illness, it's how we survive and protect our families.

While the example I gave is not the same as killing some and loving others the background of empathy to some, not others is. It's why we have far more empathy for the cartoonists killed in Paris than some Africans killed in the DRC.

lets see what that means for the other hostages in Paris

Hopefully a timed attack by the police at both places.

What utter drivel.

Sounds like begining of the end at the printworks

There was nothing on the YT livefeed about the shooting, Sky has full coverage on YT feed however.

Gunshots and explosions. Fingers crossed for a successful outcome for the police and hostage/s.

hopefully this is a worldwide media wide blanket so there is no footage of these terrorists becoming "martyrs". The public dont need to see every little thing that goes on and its often more damaging than good to have this 24hr coverage

In between the explosions I am sure I heard an "Akbar" then more firing

Eh? The point that you are, oh so cleverly, making has exactly what to do with what's going on right now?

Little, much like the list of atrocities perpetuated by Muslims people that were trotting out as justification for tarring all Muslims with the murder/terrorist brush.

I'm just pointing out that it's not just Muslims that do this sort of thing. Faith has little to do with it, whereas culture and power have far more to do with it.

The BBC are quite conservative with their coverage, Sky are definitely more sensationalist.

I am amazed they are broadcasting such stuff live...especially with the second hostage situation...

Can anyone give me a jist of what this article says? Seems one of the suspects in the grocery store has been in the public eye before.

EDIT - possibly a different person with the same name?

Amedi coulibaly 27 years working in a factory contract coca cola in his hometown . Accompanied by nine other people like him in training , he will visit the president of the republic who wants to meet committed companies for employing young people.

"if the president can help me get hired"

Just appears to be about him looking for a job and the president being interested in helping the youth gain employment. My french is rather limited and I didn't recognize most of the later paragraphs but I believe I've got the gist.

well..the second hostage situations demands the release of the first lot...they see on the news that the police have moved in so they know their demands are never going to be met
