Obama Equates Plannned Parenthood Shooting To Terrorist

9 others during a shooting spree in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Paris, France, December 01, 2015 - "We have the power to do more to prevent gun homicides," President Obama said at a press conference in France during the conference on global climate change.

 "In the end of the day...Congress, states, local government will have to act to prevent persons who are deranged from getting weapons," the President said.

President Obama noted, Planned Parenthood, in some cases is the only organization which provides care to women.

"We can have a debate about abortion," the President said.  "I think it is fair to have a legitimate, honest debate about abortion.  How we talk about it, making sure we talk about it honestly, not demonize it," the President noted, will have an important impact on the result of this national debate.
"It is important in how we talk about organizations like planned parenthood, not demonize it," the President said.

The President's remarks may be hinting at the role right-wing rhetoric played in inciting the Colorado Springs shooter, Robert Lewis Dear.  NBC reported Dear as saying "No more baby parts", shortly after the shooting.

The President indicated shootings like the Planned Parenthood shootings don't happen in other countries.  The U.S. must take steps to ensure proper gun control comes to pass.

Terrorists Hit Multiple Sites In Paris, Copycat Attacks Feared

Terrorists hit at least four "soft" targets in Paris, tonight.  The death toll now exceeds 153 persons.  Authorities are on guard for copy-cat attacks in other places.

Already, speculation is, ISIS is behind the attacks.  The speculation is based upon the nature of the attacks, completely indiscriminate, rather than targeted towards a specific religious group.  However, the speculation remains unconfirmed.  Authorities are overwhelmed attempting to sort out exactly what happened and who is behind it.

The basics are, shooting broke out in a variety of locations mostly at the same time.  The worst casualties were at the Bataclan Theater where an American band was playing.  The shooters seemed only interested in body count, not hostages for ransom or political demans, as the shooters summarily executed concert goers.

At another location, the Cambodian Restaurant, a witness said she found herself on the floor after a window shattered and shots rang out while she was inside.  The witness found herself holding onto the hand of a fellow patron of the bar.  When she looked up, she found the patron whose hand she was holding with a bullet hole in her chest.  The witness does not know if the female patron died.  The witness heard the shooters pause to reload over a 2 or 3 minute period, then spray the venue again.

A bomb went off at an international soccer game at the State of France sports stadium.  Most people seemed unaware what the noise was and the match continued.

French borders are closed.  The City of Paris is expected to be a ghost town tomorrow, as authorities attempt to make sense of the madness.
