UNARMED PARIS POLICE OFFICERS FORCED TO FLEE AS ARMED TERRORISTS ATTACK
Breitbart ^ | January 7, 2015 | by AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 01/07/2015 1:59:41 PM PST by Jim Robinson

During the January 7 terror attack on the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, several Paris police officers fled, unable to disarm the threat, because they themselves were unarmed and outgunned.

Breitbart News previously reported that “black-hooded-men” with Kalashnikovs entered the Charlie Hedbo headquarters and opened fire, killing 12 people–including those who were killed outside the building as the gunmen headed back to their car.

CBS News relayed reports from Britain’s Telegraph newspaper that the first two officers to arrive “were apparently unarmed” and “fled after seeing gunmen armed with automatic weapons and possibly a grenade launcher.”

The UK’s Independent reported that “three policemen arrived on bikes but had to leave because [the attackers] were armed.” A policeman who had been assigned the position of bodyguard to Charlie Hebdo editor, Stephane Charbonnier, was killed, and one policeman on a mountain bike was killed, as well.

I have a friend who had to leave South Africa and had two job opportunities - one in Dallas, Texas and the other in Lyon, France.

I walked with my family through Amsterdam about 12 years ago (we were on a tour but had lived in Germany for 3 years by then).

Amsterdam was beautiful, but we came to a section that was complete Muslim. It was as if a dark cloud had descended upon us. We were with other European families, some with young children in baby carriages. The men were all gather around, sitting around, standing around....doing nothing but leering, smoking, loitering, and squinting in disapproval at the young women in our group while lusting for them at the same time.

Your friend's reaction was not atypical.

Enablers are every bit as guilty as the perps themselves.

In this case, I have say you are completely correct.

I had a spooky moment at Charles de gaul. Then the cops walked by packin some serious heat. The guys giving me the hebies scattered like roaches. Not sure what was about to happen before they got there. That is a big place and I was way out in b.f.e. very late at night. The hotel shuttle showed up and I couldn’t get on fast enough.

It is that way in all things, not just Islam. People just don’t want to hear it. Or act on it.

Morality Box: You are fined one credit for a violation of the Verbal Morality Statute.

Simon Phoenix: What? f*&%!#. [Tosses the ticket over his shoulder]

Morality Box: Your repeated violations of the Verbal Morality Statute have caused me to notify the San Angeles Police Department. Please remain where you are for your reprimand.

Simon Phoenix: Yeah, right. [Police show up] *^!@ers are fast too. [Morality Box buzzes again and Phoenix mocks it, throwing away the ticket]


Simon Phoenix : The museum is no longer sealed is it! Haha! What can I say, I'm a blast from the past!

Don’t worry Jim. I’m sure a strongly worded letter from the UN will have the Muzzies quaking in their boots.

May the rest of France’s police lay down their lives under such noble circumstances.

And may it happen quickly.

Not this garbage again. It just keeps coming up here over and over again.

There are millions of legally held firearms in private hands in Australia. I own a number of them myself.

People in America have been lied to about the firearms situation in Australia. We have our share of dumb gun laws - but we've got plenty of guns.

This is the webpage of my local gun shop - and it's actually got a fairly limited range compared to some places.

I was in Paris about ten years ago, and all the Police were armed.

France should declare martial law on the infamous “no-go” areas of their cities and root out the vermin.

So am I - I have a .38 precisely because I believed at the time that was the most I could get without a more specialised licence.

This is part of the genuine problems we have with the laws. They are sometimes really hard to navigate.

(I’m now comfortable with the 38, so I’m living with the situation - but I wish things were a lot simpler).
