If these guys can’t woo the French women, assuming they even want to, then no one can.

I am surprised the ABC ‘news’ did not accuse them of committing a Hate Crime, since they beat up a poor Muslim.
Odds ore still good that they will be accused by someone on the left. Or maybe CAIR.

What’s this “alleged” carp!?

The guy had the AK and hundreds of spare rounds.

I do have some questions:

How did he get on the train with an AK and all that ammo ?

He claims he found the AK in a Park, did the spare ammo get found in the Park ?

Why didn’t the Marines finish the job and snap the perps neck ?

Meanwhile the train crew ran into the crew car and locked the door.

Not killing the suspect allows detailed interrogations.

There may be more associates of the attacker who he can “help” authorities to locate and haul in.

What the end result of all this is that the TSA here in is country is completely useless.

Aware, capable, bold Americans will take down any terrorist threat.

We have never needed to spend billions to search grandmas.

Hasn’t been my experience. I always heard they were rude and didn’t try to do anything for non french speakers. It seemed the opposite to me.

^^^ +1000 This, is why I yearn and yearn for a comment rating system here at FR. (Doesn't have to be as elaborate as the one at Daily Mail, though that one is pretty cool)

Gave accolades to CNN yesterday. They spent nearly 30 minutes of each hour on this story — most of the day. They were praising the heroes and even used ‘Islamist’ to identify the perp.
