France mobilises 7,000 troops and goes on high alert after school stabbings and mosque knife arrest
Saturday's mobilisation announcement came after President Macron held an emergency security cabinet meeting on Friday evening.
France is mobilising 7,000 soldiers and increasing its alert status to "emergency attack" level after the death of a teacher in the northeast town of Arras, stabbed to death Friday by a former student with a record of Islamic radicalisation.
President Emmanuel Macron made the decision after convening an emergency meeting of his security cabinet on Friday night.
Macron has described the stabbing attack, which left two other staff members at the school seriously injured, as "Islamist terrorism."
Goddamn what is going on in France...
As a French : yes this is horrible but the mess is worldwide and remember that 1 death in a country of 67 millions people is not the end.
Oh and of course we get used to it…
And watch how they're gonna use that to further spy on us and restrict our freedoms, even though the guy was already monitored and still managed to slip through.
If it helps any at all, I just checked, between 1990 and 2000 France dealt with one terrorist attack every ~13.53 days. Your people could survive that you can survive this. Hope that helps.
Worldwide
a stabbing
This is the decade we kill each other before we kill the planet, isn't it?
I really hope so. Sounds more interesting than being a boiling frog pot.
To nuke, or not to nuke, that is the question.
Before? I'd say humanity and the planet are shoulder to shoulder. If it were before, the planet might have had a chance
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Saturday's mobilisation announcement came after President Macron held an emergency security cabinet meeting on Friday evening.
The incident took place at the Gambetta high school, which is located in the town centre, and police say the attacker shouted "Allah Akbar" - "God is great" in Arabic.
He has been named as 18-year-old Mohammed Mogouchkov, a former student at the school of Chechen origin who was the subject of "active monitoring" by France's General Directorate of Internal Security DGSI.
France's President Emmanuel Macron visited the school on Friday afternoon, and called on people to remain "united" and to "stand together" in the face of "the barbarity of Islamist terrorism."
Speaking in the courtyard of a building near the school where Friday morning's deadly attack took place, Macron said "the choice is made not to give in to terror, not to let anything divide us."
A 24-year-old man known to have been "radicalised" was arrested and placed in police custody for carrying a knife as he left a mosque in Limay on the outskirts of Paris.

"Religion of Peace" my Ass
fucking Terrorists
If terrorists decided to use "America" as branding, then saying "home of the brave my ass" would be as equally invalid a statement.
It's not a random coincidence. Islam, like Christianity, has plenty of calls to violence in scripture and culture.
For example, see article 7 of the Hamas founding charter:
"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).
Other terror organizations like Boko Haram and Al Quaeda similarly quote other parts from the Quran. Because they can, because it's there.
So for your analogy to work, we would have to assume "America" has some inherently violent parts at it's core. Which it probably does.
In a true "Religion of Peace", extremists would have to invent things, not bend things, to justify violence.
Obligatory disclaimer, the overwhelming majority of Muslims (and Christians) are peaceful, decent people.
No they are just animals, the religion part is just an excuse these pathetic animals use to justify their barbaric actions.
Which country has the most school shootings?
Classic whataboutism.
The answer is america, and 2 things can be bad at once.
I can tell you that it's not a european one
