Wow. Does that mean Josh Homme / Jesse Hughes may be among the hostages?

I don't think Josh Homme usually tours with Eagles of Death Metal, but anything is possible. This whole situation is terrible.

Doubtful.

This seems like it was planned well ahead of time.

Wow, this is terrible. The blowback from this will be huge too. People are so messed up.

When I first heard the stadium was attacked, I thought maybe it was French nationalists trying to attack Germans (like WWII retribution or something?)

But with everything else that transpired, that theory doesn't really make sense now.

Thoughts go out to all the families affected by this.

Comes from a Paris radio station interview with a guy who claimed to have been in the theatre - no idea if true, pretty damned hard to confirm.

Do not jump to conclusions until the chaos dies down. All of the reports are in question except what is confirmed by police.

As the scant few pages of this thread show already, it's comforting to be able to point a finger.
