I can see him getting one cop by ambush, but why wasn’t he shot by a dozen others before he could get anyone else?

Agreed, especially when the event is a tragedy.

“saying the city’s council would pay tribute to the victims.”

Oh how nice of them.

European cops don’t typically walk around armed. The first two stabbings may have been unnoticed by others since they happened in offices. One cop probably had to go to a locker grab a gun to defend the rest.

Here comes the Govt, boldly springing into action after the damage is done.

Again, the perps name is not Muslim. Was he of that faith? I don’t know. What I do know is that the killer’s motive was domestic in nature. This is not terrorism.

UPDATE: from what I have just read, these killings did have to do with the Muslim faith, but they were not necessarily “terror” killings. I can’t really say more than that.

Hi e do know he was a convert

As far as terror, by post9/11 standards wherein every mass murder is terror, 4 deaths means terror.

Not my view, but the dumbed down American view.

Michael Harpon, 45, a recent convert to Islam, caused the bloodbath in the French capital’s historic Police Prefecture, next door to Notre Dame Cathedral on Thursday (pictured: the knifeman lies dead, left; soldiers stand guard, top right; and an emergency helicopter swoops in, bottom right). Investigators have not ruled out a possible terrorist motivation for the Thursday afternoon attack, which left a woman administrator and three men dead. All were repeatedly stabbed by Harpon, who had worked in the IT department at the Prefecture since 2003, in the worst loss of French police lives in a single day since World War II. Within hours of the attack, anti-terrorist officers had raided Harpon’s flat in an apartment block at Gonesse, a suburb some 12 miles from the scene of the attack. His wife, Iham, was arrested, as an investigating source said that the nature of Harpon’s attack corresponded with similar ones carried out by terrorists affiliated to Islamic State and Al-Qaeda.

[Maskot]

No no no! Gun control cuz EVERYTHING comes back around to gun control. Even knife violence deserves libs screaming about those nasty guns, doncha know?

[fieldmarshaldj]

As of a few minutes ago this incident has been officially reclassed as an ISIS-inspired terror incident.
