[Archiving] Gunmen in Paris 2

Sent by artsiesforever :

Heeeeeey I finally have internets, and I just need to know: are you okay? I'm trying to catch up on the news in Paris, but I really wanted to ask!

Welcome back to the land of Tumblr addiction then (although you were always more reasonnable with it than I am xD)

And for anyone wondering, yes, I’m fine so far :)

Things are kinda messy and shitty rn –there were to hostages situations today, idk if they’re over or not, plus several islamophobic acts in the past two days and an insane amount of cops around the great Mosque of Paris today for the midday prayer.

I also read somewhere that the police ordered the Jewish (+ Gay) neighborhood of Paris to close down its shops, most likely to avoid any antisemitic actions as well (idk what the actual statistics are like but looking at the news it often sounds like some people have trouble not to bring the Israel vs. Palestine conflicts on the territory, and it’s often analyzed as a Muslim vs. Jews thing, hence the reasonning I guess. Also, it’s easier to blame muslims for antisemitic acts than to admit France in general might (still) have an antisemitism problem)
