Paris terror attacks


Join me and send positive vibes & love to Paris and all others who are in need of love at the moment. 

What we currently know about the terror attack in Paris:

• Death toll reported at 127 following a series of coordinated terror attacks around Paris on Friday evening. Over 200 victims were wounded, 80 seriously, according to police sources.
• Prosecutor's office: 8 extremists dead, 7 of them using suicide vests,the AP reports. Authorities are hunting for possible accomplices.

• French President François Hollande has declared a state of emergency, closed French borders and mobilized 1,500 troops to Paris streets. 

• Among the dead, French media says around 80 concertgoers were killed during a siege at Bataclan concert hall. The U.S. band, Eagles of Death Metal, were performing a sold-out concert at the venue, which is near the offices of Charlie Hebdo.
• French police also confirm three casualties following a bombing at GateJ of Stade de France football arena, north of Paris, during a France-Germany friendly match. 
• Two gunmen opened fire at Le Carillon Bar before crossing the street to Petit Cambodge restaurant in Paris's 10th district. Attacks also reported at Les Halles bar and Belle Equipe bar, BBC says.

• President Barack Obama vows to do "whatever it takes" to bring terrorists to justice.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of this brutal attack and their beloved ones. 

Horrible things like this should remind us that Its time to unite and fight for a better world. For a save world. For our children. For humanity!

"Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace" ~ John Lennon

We can put an end to such senseless violence by choosing to not live in fear and exclude certain people. Instead, we should try to be an example of love and unite with others so that we together may focus on building a more peaceful world. 

The best thing you can do is let what happened in Paris inspire & motivate you to be the change and to make change happen.


It's okay to be sad about what happened, but don't let it defeat you, let it instead strengthen & encourage you, so that still something good can come out of what happened in Paris.
