slaughter in Paris, France

Better check the news of the killings, late tonie, in Paris, where over 150 were killed by extremists.

My our prayers be with the citizens of Paris, hoping no more dead are found.

God Bless those lost to this tragedy and may God bless the families of the victims during this very sad time. God please bring those responsible to justice so they we can all live in a world of peace and love for each other as you would want us to live. We ask for these needs in Jesus name Amen.

No, not a tragedy, an atrocity and an act of war. Hopefully, the French will treat it accordingly. BTW the count is currently at 127 killed, but that number is expected to go up some.

This is an incident that affect all throughout the world.  When terrorists are allowed to run amok and strike at their whim where ever they choose it is a sad state of affairs indeed.

The thing that has enraged me is that the US Press Corps has done it's usual worst.  That's right.  The French closed down their media to assist in the efforts of the people trying to enter the buildings and areas that were being held.  What do the American Press agents do:  yep, broadcast (even plant someone in the bushes to report) everything the terrorists need to combat the actions that were being done to affect a rescue and stop the killing.  Yes indeed, freedom of the press.  OR is it out and out disregard for human life in the quest for "a scoop or story?"  Personally, I think it is time to put a collar on the press and pass legislation that restricts their reporting and investigation of incidents where terror or war or crime is concerned that would impede the progress of the powers that are in fact trying to put a stop to the madness/save lives/and or ensure the safety of all to include the reduction of collateral damage.  Sorry, but the media has long ago exceeded it's efforts and gone beyond the bounds of human decency - personal opinion. 

Those that lost their lives and those that were injured remind us of the Boston Marathon, The
Twin Towers, The Cole, and all the other senseless slaughter that has gone on over the years.  I grieve for those who lost their lives and for their families.  May the good Lord protect them and ease their sorrow.  No matter the nationality, the end result of such cowardly actions as these remains the same world wide.  Justice needs to be done in such a manner that others will not dare try to copy it.

Personally, I think it is time to put a collar on the press and pass legislation that restricts their reporting and investigation of incidents where terror or war or crime is concerned that would impede the progress of the powers that are in fact trying to put a stop to the madness/save lives/and or ensure the safety of all to include the reduction of collateral damage. Sorry, but the media has long ago exceeded it's efforts and gone beyond the bounds of human decency - personal opinion.

While I do not disagree with your opinion of the press, I would be very, very leary of any sort of legislation that would restrict the freedom of the press or any of our other constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. That is a slippery slope it would behoove us to steer well clear of.

Slippery slope or not it is ludicrous for the press to give aid and information to our enemy(ies).  AND that is exactly what they do when they broadcast troop positions, tactics, plans, processes and other technical information and air it while a situation is going on.  In the case of the Paris incident they had been asked to vacate the area (the French had asked all French media to cease while the operation was going on) and what did WE do?  WE leave some dude basically in the bushes to report and then air everything under the sun.  Not only for that incident but one of the so called brighter fools gets on world media and broadcasts the security or lack there of of various American Sports and Entertainment venues.

I would have to view this not as freedom of the press but out and out giving aid and information to the enemy.  Debate this all you want, but the end result is they provide(d) crucial information to the terrorists when that information should have been kept from them.  In the case of our facilities - how darn dumb can one get.  NOW they have a free shot at us - THANK YOU MEDIA PEOPLE -- with more of you we should all be toast the next time a terrorist organization decides to visit our shores.  Really great.

So tell me, is your life worth a little legislation that restricts the press/media from divulging crucial that would give aid to our enemies at a crucial time?  I certainly would not be afraid to allow that clause to be added into the freedom of the press section as an addendum.  Care be damned as far as our rights are concerned - life is worth something and these media rats only think of their own fame and selling their product - at any cost.  Evidenced by the continual dissemination of information inappropriately from war or police situations without consideration for what the consequences would be.  Our enemies are smiling ear to ear - all they have to do is turn on CNN and their intelligence officers job is done already - just inform the commanders and presto, instant victory thanks to the media.

Hell, some politician probably blabbed and cost more lives that the press ever did. If you order press out of an area for security reasons, and they stay, toss their ass in the slammer, no additional legislation needed. We already have plenty of laws dealing with the illegal dissemination of classified information, troop movements etc. all we need to do is enforce the laws we already have.
