Brilio.net/en - It was an average Friday night in Paris for the Parisians and tourists alike. Wine and cheese plates were a common staple of the busy cafes littered with lovers in embrace and people enjoying their lives. Yet on November 13th these commonplace events were utterly ruined by ISIL, leaving 120 people dead in one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in recent memory.
One of the worst terror attacks happened at the Bataclan, a venue where The Eagles of Death Metal were performing. The terrorist barged in with assault rifles and hand grenades, reeking havoc on the concert. 90 people lost their lives and many more suffered from serious injuries and loss.
But life goes on and in a triumphant display of strength, the band has returned for a concert on Tuesday evening. The California Rock band offered the survivors of the last attack free tickets to the show to the Olympia concert hall. 30 psychologists were on stand by to offer assistance in case anyone needed it. Among the survivors is Maureen Roussel, who admits she doesn't know how she will react. She said: We're going to find ourselves in a traumatic situation - for many of us it'll be the first concert we've been too since the attacks. There's that fear of it happening again, reports The Sunday Times. Another concert goer Georges Salines, 58, will be attending in the place of his daughter, Lola, who lost her life in the tragedy.
Vocalist and guitarist Jesse Hughes, and a long time member and advocate for the National Rifle Association (NRA) said his views on gun ownership had not changed since the attack. In fact, he believes that unless everyone doesnt have guns, everyone should have guns. He went on to say: Did your French gun control stop a single fucking person from dying at the Bataclan? And if anyone can answer yes, Id like to hear it, because I dont think so. I think the only thing that stopped it was some of the bravest men that Ive ever seen in my life charging head-first into the face of death with their firearms.
Hughes went on to comment about the bravery and the commradery of the people in the venue. I know this sounds terrible, but ... I didnt see anyone do anything cowardly. I just saw people doing some of the most beautiful things that a person could do, and for lack of a better word to describe it, my friends died very beautifully.
