Just breaking. Tweets saying that it was AMERICAN tourists on he train that took the shooter down.

So much news going on in the world today, that it's hard to keep up with.

The gunman, said to be of “North African origin,” is said to have been “taken down” by a group of US marines onboard the train.

Years ago on a train ride in France, I was almost overcome by Belgian BO and the fumes from their black tobacco, but I didn’t shoot anyone.

According to Voix du Nord, the marines heard what appeared to be the sound of a gun being loaded coming from the toilets on the train.
They tried to detain him and the man fired, wounding three people, two of whom were struck by bullets, the newspaper reported.

Dire straights is a poker hand, I think. Dire Straits is something you get into as well as a great rock band. I once heard a DJ refer to the band as “Der Strauss.” And that was here in America. Jughead I guess.

Give credit to the French police for some brains. The first thing the DC police would do is to rule out links to terrorism . . .

Who remembers Chief Moose?

I think that would be “rasis” or “homophobic” or something. The commie libs would come up with some kind of label for it. The ‘RATs are expert label makers.
