    Tragedy and infamy beyond words. Time that world powers learned from history as it keeps repeating.

    JK, just saw your thoughts and shares on Newsworthy Topics thread. Have no more words, or have said them, but not onsite as totally political/unfluffy. Bumping up this thread.

    Le Carillon, the bar in which eleven people were murdered tonight, has a bar cat. I don’t know why that makes it more personal, but somehow it does. — at Le Carillon.

    Exactly JK!
    And you read my mind. As I was reading about Le Carillon kit I was thinking … thank G-d tabby purry is OK. A small miracle in light of tragedy, but a miracle nonetheless.

    That French Spirit cannot be diminished:

    we are France!
    In French, the cover reads, “They have weapons … Fuck them, we have champagne!” Some translations put that a touch more lightly, reporting that the cover reads “screw them.”

    First translation works for me JK – “F” word and all!

    No cats reported killed in the attacks so far, but unfortunately a police dog was killed. Her name was Diesel.

    Sharing – direct from my n’hood:

    Our very own mini-Eiffel Tower has been set up outside City Hall, and it sends a clear message: Milwaukee stands with Paris.

    What an awesome tribute JK! Seems that the only thing that happened here was at a Montréal Canadiennes hockey game as moment of silence and playing of “La Marseillaise.”

    Thanks, we have a strong French Community plus Brewtown has Bastille Days Fest every July – Eiffel Tower is usually erected in our Cathedral Square. Agree, awesome that organization lent it for Special Tribute.

    Katzenjammer, there were huge rallies in downtown Mtl in support of the people of Paris (and also in other Québec towns, and in Ottawa of course). I think the largest here, led by Mayor Coderre, may have counted 10,000 people. Mayor Hidalgo of Paris also acknowledges these on her Facebook or Twitter (?) account; don’t remember which.

    Special Tribute:
    Diesel

    Diesel, sweet beautiful girl. You served with courage in these troubled times. Without hesitation you fulfilled your duties, running toward the danger, never away, protecting those in your shadow. Today God tapped his hand upon his knee and called his Diesel home. Tonight she guards the gates above with him now in her shadow.

    OMG JK, tks for share but this one gets me big-time. There goes the eyeliner, the mascara, in a wash of tears. 😥 May G-d protect us from evil.
