Full Title:'They might have guns, but we have flowers': Video shows Father reassuring son in wake of Paris attacks

In the wake of the deaths of 129 people out enjoying a Friday night in Paris, understanding what happened has been a struggle for most adults.

Explaining the atrocities to small children, then, can prove incredibly difficult - and as this video shows, has to be couched in terms they will understand. On Saturday, France's Le Petit Journal sent its reporters to speak to parents with children at the memorials that have appeared across the French capital in the wake of the attacks. One little boy standing outside the Bataclan theatre, the scene of Friday's deadliest attack, is asked if he understands why suspected Isis militants opened fire on crowded concert.

Here is the conversation that follows: Boy: "Yes, because they're really really mean. Bad guys are not very nice. And we have to be really careful because we will have to change houses. Father: "Oh don't worry... We don't need to change houses. France is our home." Boy: "But there's bad guys daddy..." Father: "Yes, but there are bad guys everywhere. " 'They might have guns, but we have flowers': Father reassuring son in wake of Paris attacks Boy: "But flowers don't do anything, they're for, they're for..."

This isn’t cute or touching. Not at all. This is the emasculation of boys and watching this video made me want to vomit. I could understand a woman brainwashing a young boy like this, but a MAN? SERIOUSLY? He’s a p*ssy too just like his son will be.

If you get close enough, I suppose you could jam the flowers down the shooters throat and choke him to death.

Note: don't try it.

We were watching tv when that came on last night. Just horrible that is what he is teaching his son.

That was my take also last night.

It shows a total lack of understanding of what Islam is about.

People who belong to other religions can't seem to grasp that the Muslim God wants people who don't believe in Allah subjugated converted or killed.
Even though there are centuries of examples of this, the Koran and Hadiths preach it, and the Muslims say it boldly to our faces,and put their lives where their mouths are, while killing us. -Tom

All the people of France did was offer flowers and hugs.

Did it help them?

I thought the little kid was quite articulate for a little one — who seemed to be sitting on his Father’s knee. Father may have been trying to placate him with gentle thoughts of flowers and candles, but the boy was wiser beyond his age. He knew what happened and his words showed he understood the realism of it all.
