Hostage killed in French church

[Reindeer]

In the Saint-?tienne-du-Rouvray in France, two men entered the local church and took hostages. During this hostage situation, the priest was killed by having his throat slit. A nun is currently still in critical condition.
Police quickly surrounded the church and took action. Both hostage takers were killed.

The two men stated that they were fighters for ISIS, and ISIS has already claimed responsibility for the attack through Amaq.

I don't want to be mean, I understand everything but... why do we have to post this on a forum about this game?

Because it's news. I've seen various people say that TBT is how they get their news. There's also people of all age ranges, and I'm sure some mature discussion can arise from threads like these.
I also find these subjects a lot more interesting than threads like "How many hotdogs can you fit in your mouth?" or whatever.

Edit: Also, lately with all the attacks I've been wondering if it wouldn't be better to just have a general thread about terrorism, so that we have fewer isolated threads about these incidents.

Well while I know there can be some mature discussions in this topic it often becomes a drama thread where people can't deal with people having different opinions...
I just wish people could respect each other's opinions that's all.

I wouldn't be surprised. Two attacks in Germany and now another one in France, all after the truck attack in Nice that was less than two weeks ago.

i think its ok to talk about whats going on in world as long as we keep it respectful and not flame it up.
On topic this is tragic and my heart goes out to France who has already suffered greatly this year Viva la France viva Liberty.

Is this section of the forum about that particular game, though?
