I really feel for Paris right now.

It's terrible what's just happened, how in Paris over 200 have died as of last count - in six simultaneous attacks, the largest being in a Paris music hall. A heavy metal concert to be exact. France has closed her borders, I can't blame them. Some kindhearted US citizens are opening their homes to stranded travelers. Anyone can find this on the news, and probably has already, but I just wanted to say that I weep for the French, even though France is far from my favorite country. I can't help but notice, though, that the attacks were in weapon free zones. And I must ask... would the hostages have been taken if the audience had the chance to defend themselves the moment a not-so-smart bomb took the stage? My thoughts are with those in Paris at this terrible time.
