Police order shops closed in Jewish area in central Paris

PARIS (AP) — Police have ordered all shops closed in a famed Jewish neighborhood in central Paris, far from the two developing hostage situations.

The mayor's office in Paris announced the closures Friday of shops along the Rosiers street in Paris' Marais neighborhood, in the heart of the tourist district and about a kilometer away from the offices of newspaper Charlie Hebdo where 12 people were killed on Wednesday.

For those that may have seen promise or love, they are the victim.

Just to keep the equation equal to the ever divided thin line of balance.

7. Amazing they didn't call on the people to defend the shops and shop at them.

I would have loved to see citizen volunteers protecting the shops.

Cowardly response from the city. Restrict those, who can't live in / with civil society, not civil society itself.

Reminds me how after 911 our own government went after the old and the disabled at TSA checkpoints instead of dealing with those that would do us harm.

Cowards.
