Acts of terrorism on the scale seen today in Paris will always open up mazes of political discussion, but commentators generally have the good sense to wait for the dust to settle before arguing over the nitty-gritty details.
Vive La France! #Paris

Oh, NOW France closes its borders. #Hollande

This is either the worst translation of an important speech ever, or one of the worst ever given. #Hollande

Half-jokey, half-serious and all-confusing, the dude’s social media output has already stirred up some vitriol on the web.
@RobLowe You are making the world worse. Go away.

@RobLowe oh come on, Rob. Refugees fleeing to Europe were escaping a whole country filled with this kind of chaos.

@RobLowe so disappointed with the heartless tweet. Get real Hollywood.

@RobLowe this is the worst tweet of all time

Lowe’s follow-ups attempted to clarify the situation, but as of yet, Lowe still appears to be squaring blame on France’s immigration policy and President Hollande.
Wow. For you trolls out there, the phrase “Vive La France” is the traditional expression of SUPPORT for France. Don’t misinterpret my words.

Inveterate shit-stirrer Doug Stanhope also managed to give Lowe a thumbs-up for the messages after his own piss-take on the issue.
Hey @RobLowe! I’m not ‘pologizin – is you? #DareYouNotTo
