Raymond Johansen says of this picture “The special isolated incident in Paris will be used to prove that we NEED mass surveilance. Also 80 troops moved into Paris today. There are things happening now that are threatening our whole “way of life””
The idea of french troops patrolling the streets of Paris isn’t far fetched – the military were present immediately after the attacks in Paris while the attackers were still on the loose. However, 80 troops and tanks being sent in is a worrying development if true.
On Wednesday The Daily Mail reported:
