He even admits he came in after all the action had stopped but at least he helped.

AB, yeah I know put I just wish they had really hurt him really really bad. We know damn well he wanted to slaughter everybody on the train and there would be no armed cops around to stop him.
Hopefully, the French cops and intel guys will question him viciously but I fear that won’t be the case.
Now, sandturd was in Syria and just came back to Spain and then Belgium.
Do they have their own Jeh Johnson running security? Well at least maybe they can find the cutterer’s source of weapons.

We were incredibly lucky to have American soldiers with us. I pay homage to their heroic courage and thank them. Without them, we all would be dead.A century of French history, in three sentences.
France should translate this into Latin and adopt it as their national motto.

Three American Marines took this a$$hole out. One was wounded doing it. Marines. No Better friend, No worse enemy.No one has more respect for the marines than me - ma and pa were both marines; met in the weeks following VJ day at Camp Pendleton. But the three who took down the terrorist were an airman, guardsmen, and a proud f©©©ing civilian.

The Frenchie crewman ran out of the carriage and locked himself in a baggage compartment. Hardly heroic.

.......thanks for posting this, I’ve seen it once before but I really, really enjoyed reading it again. It reminds me of all my uncles on my mother and fathers side. All of them (6) were in the various services in WWII. Just for fun, I will name them: Dad/Army/Stateside/trained medics, Ink/Army/Saipan/medic, Noah, Navy/Solomons/destroyer/anti air gun.
On moms side: Leonard/Navy, Artie/Navy, JW/Navy.
Ofcourse we are all darn proud of all of them. Only Artie is still with us.

>>>after he opened fire on a Paris-bound train with a Kalashnikov<<<
The Muzzie only fired one round from a Pistol, the shot that Injured the French-American (?) in the Neck. One of the Soldiers saved that guy’s Life by stopping the Bleeding.

Anyone remember the Obama Fantasy Son that got on a D.C. Metro Train about six months ago and brutally murdered a Male Passenger, stabbing and beating him for no apparent reason?
There were 20 People in that Car and nobody did anything to stop the attack. They just cowered in Fear hoping he wouldn’t go after them next.
To: Lurkina.n.Learnin
The Marines would have killed the guy. I remember reading a story of Bill Clintons ‘’Excellent Adventure In Haiti’’(remember that?) An Army Ranger patrol was approaching a small village on the outskirts of Porte Au Prince when some the locals met them on the way into the village and told them the secret police, the dreaded “Ton Ton Macoute’’ or “Uncle Boogeyman’’ in Creole had been holed up in their police station and were threatening anyone who came near. The Ranger lieutenant told them to come out with their hands up and that they wouldn't be harmed. This was met by epithets from the cops. After a few minutes they were entreated to again come out and this time the cops fired off a few pistol shots in the direction of the patrol. The Rangers went to ground and remarkably held their fire. Again the call to come out and then the cops did something really stupid. They rolled a grenade out the door and thankfully it was a dud. Having had enough the Ranger lieutenant told the squad M-60 gunner to put a few rounds through the door and out came the ‘’boogey men’’ with their hands up and an Australian journalist who had somehow gotten to be a ''guest'' of the cops and as his watch and his cameras and other effects were being returned to him he was thanking the Ranger lieutenant saying, ''Thank God you came, thank God it's you''. To which the Ranger lieutenant replied "Yeah you ought to thank God it's us'', he said, "If we were the Marines you'd all be dead''.

Yes, I know. The initial story I read had them listed as Marines. Had they been they would have broken the guys neck. Check out my post, number 111 of 111.

Not everyone has training to attempt that. I made referenc to tht.
If it wasnt a gun free zone youd have passengers and crew who would take out the threats. Without needing special unarmed combat training to try to.
