On Friday evening, a series of three terrorist attacks in Paris shook the city with the worst violence France has seen in decades. In a time of such terrible tragedies, sharing powerful Paris memes is one of the easiest ways you can show support for the victims as well as the survivors.
Update: French police confirmed a total of six attacks in Paris, including two suicide attacks and one bombing near the Stade de France, as well as attacks at the Bataclan concert hall and a restaurant. French news outlets reported that police launched an assault on the Bataclan concert hall, where gunmen were holding 100 hostages. According to The Guardian, eight attackers are dead, several of whom died after detonating suicide belts. Authorities have reported that the number of fatalities has reached at least 120. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks; President Hollande agrees it was the terror group.
Earlier: Current reports are stating that at least 100 people were killed inside Bataclan concert hall after being taken hostage by attackers. Two other attacks — explosions outside the Stade de France stadium and a shooting at nearby Le Petit Cambodge restaurant — are reported to have claimed at least 35 additional lives. French president Francois Hollande has closed the country's borders and declared a state of emergency following the evening's events.
In addition to these uplifting photos, I encourage you to investigate ways you can help Paris victims with monetary support, if you're able.
