The entire area was evacuated in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday (France time). . .it’s about 21 hours later now.

Earlier on the media was implying the shooter was a Nazi-sympathizer.

The suspect on the loose, now hiding in the loo in Toulouse, is about to lose!

[Not much is going on. A few vehicle lights, a couple of police standing down the roadway.]

Thanks. I always wondered how come ambush didn’t happen more often in situations like this.

you mean to tell me that it was a Muslim terrorist behind all this????

Ya' know, I'm starting to lose faith in all this "religion of peace" talk that is so prominent these days.

Frankly, I'm thinking it's BS.

“the senior U.S. military official told the CNN contributor Fran Townsend that the French shooting suspect was stopped by Afghan forces who tried to turn him over to the U.S. military. The U.S. directed them to hand Merah to French forces since he was a citizen of their country.”

IOW, the obama/Sgt. Schultz smart power doctrine: “I hear nothing, I see nothing, I know nothing!”

Apart from the political dithering and my general reluctance to defend the French, I would say their counterterror folks are quite professional.

As I understand it, during the standoff today, the shooter's brother was rounded up, and we may not know how many more. The shooter did indicate that this was just the start of something bigger, which may just be posturing, but IMHO it's still in the best interests of the French to take him alive and interrogate the hell out of him.

Keep in mind that while France has something akin to our miranda warning, somebody arrested for terror charges does not get to see a lawyer until their 72nd hour in custody. If this guy is part of a larger movement, they could get him to spill quite a bit in that timeframe.

Shephard Smith is pissing me off royal on this one. He keeps talking about a “man” who admits to being a terrorist who killed 7 Jewish people including a Rabbi and 3 children. Not once has he used the word Muslim. Yet in the same 5 minutes, he has no problem identifying the American soldier who shot Afghans.

So now they say the French are not going in....

...They have 300 cops, but they are waiting for reinforcements.

French police NEVER patrol alone...ususally they patrol in threesomes.

>> No Right Wing Extremist?

Right-wing extremism is a misconception. The radical extremism and tyranny it’s meant to identify are in reality forms of Leftism. Hitler, Stalin, Mao: all Leftists.

Is this taking place in one of those Muslim ghetto neighborhoods?
