    I hope everyone that is attending the Olympic Games over the next couple of weeks stay safe I also have a bad feeling that something big is going to happen as the world will be watching the grand opening ceremony tonight and a terrorist attack would shock the world

    Those police dont look like they are managing the traffic very well
  • @GKSC
    What sort of traffic management is this? Do people drive anywhere in France?
  • @STBill
    The way the tall guy is handling his gun looks like he might hurt himself.
  • @samushunter0048

    Les jo déjà impacte par un attaque il ne faut pas sortir ce soir
  • @brantmaize8661
    I have a hard believing with cameras everywhere and so much more police and security for the sart of the games that they have no idea who did. Unless they are saying it to make the idiots think they got away clean
  • @markevans3848
    Tonights opening ceremony is out in the open, therefore significantly more challenging to provide adequate security. First mistake.The Paris train network is already down due to arson attacks. 80 heads of State, 300,000 plus spectators lining the Seine, then of course 1000s of athletes on the flotilla gliding down towards one of their most iconic sights, the Tour de Eiffel. Europe has had more than its share of violent crimes and attacks over the past two decades with many disgruntled and disenfranchised immigrants. To top it off, half the worlds population will be tuned in on devices to watch this great spectacle. What could go wrong?
