My hunch is this was a suicide mission, where the players fully expected to die in the process. This seems to fit their well worn MO.
Most of European nations are a “No Carry zone”. So it’s easy to take over any part of their country. The people do not have weapons to defend themselves. Only the muslims and other lawbreakers have the weapons.
I just heard 6 attackers “muslims isis” have been killed. Hopefully the French are brave enough to wrap each of the attackers “isis muslims” in pig skins or put a piece of pork in their mouths. But no. The French will not be as
unprincipled as the “isis muslims” who just killed 156 of their people and visitors.
