[quote]France will not extend the state of emergency imposed after last year's Islamist militant attacks in Paris in November beyond 26 July, President Francois Hollande has announced.
The president said in his traditional Bastille Day interview that it would not make sense for the emergency to be extended indefinitely.
That would mean the rule of law "no longer applied", Mr Hollande said.[/quote]
Holy shit, it was still going?

Well, they did have the largest European cup tournament ever, it's only logical that after the attacks they got extra cautious.

IIRC they extended the duration twice.
And just as France comes out of state of emergency, there's something going down in Nice.

Or maybe they waited for the state of emergency to end before they struck again. As a way of saying "You're never safe".

Yeah but also it was Bastille Day making it an easy day to target

It got extended.[/QUOTE]
Cool. Now there can be a terrorist attack every time France decides to end the state of emergency so it can last forever.
Honestly fuck this country. It's shit.

This. Exactly fucking this. Extending the state of emergency was exactly the wrong move because this attack was deliberately timed to coincide with that announcement.
Guess I shouldn't have expected better, France is run by retards at the moment anyway.

You're making a very rigid statement based on absolutely nothing

He's right you know, just look at the state of emergency assessment, it's catastrophic...

Yeah I know but people tend to only see what they want; all is not that dark. Like where else can you graduate up to Bac+8/PhD for basically free as long as you work you studies enough ?
I do agree that a lot of shit is wrong here. But it is-in my oppinion- somewhat balanced by stuff people tend to forget. Even if not for long. But for no reason would I want to leave my country. You can't say the rest of the EU is doing much better.

[quote]France's National Assembly has voted to extend the state of emergency for six months.
The move follows last week's attack in Nice in which 84 people were killed and scores injured when a lorry was driven into crowds.[/quote]
[quote]Prime Minister Manuel Valls said France must expect more deadly attacks despite precautions taken by his government.
Speaking at the debate in the National Assembly, he said France would have to learn to live with the threat.[/quote]
[quote]"There will be other attacks and there will be other innocent people killed. We must not become accustomed, we must never become accustomed, to the horror, but we must learn to live with this menace."[/quote]
The amount of irony in that last quote really hurts. You don't tell people to harden up to a grim reality, then extend a state of emergency. It makes you sound so fucking hollow.
