I guess everything is an unconfirmed report at this point but this seems quite certain to be accurate, a number of them have been giving statements or interviews to radio stations and news outlets.

Police raid on Bataclan reportedly still ongoing.

A nice gesture. But should they really be on the road?

I think if officials need the roads cleared they will be cleared. Getting people out of the way seems like a good plan to this total non-expert.

Paris is a big place and I'm sure there's some transit restrictions. I applaud the cabs for doing that.

Remember it was a Friday night on a big game night too (Germany). There were likely tons of people out of their homes needed a way to get home or to a safe(r) place.

We have had reports of one suicide bomber and grenades, so these guys have explosives.

Lets hope the police are doing what they feel is best.
If they are executing hostages then they need to storm the place. I agree though, could be trying to draw police in, however if large number of casualties is what they are after then it's what they are going to get unless police intervene.

I'm with you, hopefully the police have a good handle on the situation. God be with those people.

France24 is now interviewing survivors - girl sounds like she's in shock.

Two attackers killed.

Scary times.
Actually Europe is not a mess. 99.9% of us live in peace, how about we look at deaths to violence in the US as a comparison?

One gunman with an automatic rifle and the other with explosives and a pistol - confirms some earlier reports.

No, it's not. It may be rude, and it may even be mean, but it is not bullying.

Regardless, it's time for us to shut our pieholes on this, per the mods, and I intend to do so now.

Kindly keep the focus to the events and not personal political agendas either right or wrong. This would be very appreciated.

Does any of this crap matter pertaining to the events unfolding right now? No. Get over yourselves for a bit will ya?
