All of which is why it’s a good idea not to RT unsourced rumors during emergency situations. Imagine the panic and danger that would have ensued if a tweet claiming there were gunmen inside the stadium had gone viral.

The French fans singing on the way out of the stadium is the coolest. Very moving.

is that why people were getting frisked? have never heard of that happening at any sporting event and it sounds like the attackers didn’t expect it either.

I’m wondering if that’s part of why they opened up the pitch — give people room to space out so if there was an attacker inside, the damage would be minimized.

That’s top notch crowd logistics right there. Multiple incidents outside with possibly more developing. The safest place those people could have been was inside that stadium. If you let them all out, not only could it lead to panic and stampedes, but possibly a coordinated attack is awaiting them outside.

Even in a “well armed” society, nobody would be allowed into a rock concert or soccer match with a weapon. So how would the majority of these deaths been prevented, Mr. Heston?

2) I’ll bet if we crunch the numbers on that one you will find a “well-armed” population simply shoots more of each other between these far placed times they are going to apparently theoretically coordinate together at the time of a problem and stop a terrorist attack. (Which can you even think of one single case of?)…

Tyler, thank you for your sensible, not sensationalist, reporting!

There’s a hashtag on Twitter now (#PorteOuverte) from people offering shelter to those who need to get inside quickly, which is amazing. I’m an atheist but I’m sending out prayers to every deity I’ve ever heard of that nobody uses that information for nefarious purposes.

She’s like a Mini-Miscavige. I mean metaphorically, not literally, because Miscavige is like really short.

Exactly. DUCKS? It sounds like this lady is trying to start her own toddler cult.

I picked that up on my radar too— all that made-up jargon, the insistence on a closed loop of secrecy, the characterization of “questioning” as a threat to her authority. Not to mention the general Rich LA Wackadoodle vibe she’s giving off in spades.

This is ridiculous. You can’t treat parents this way. They have the right to know what is happening at their child’s school and to bring up their concerns. The school I work at does have problems but we make sure to treat our parents well and address their concerns as best we can. There are some parents’ demands that…

And child care workers are paid far too little.

Not exactly on topic, but is she a scientologist? Bragging about getting her product on Jenna Elfman and Kelly Preston (both known clams) gets her a side-eye.
