The brave mother who sacrificed herself to save her son:
Daily Mail ^ | 11/18/15 | Imogen Calderwood

Posted on 11/18/2015 10:28:40 AM PST by Kartographer

A five-year-old boy was discovered hidden under his mother's lifeless body inside the Bataclan Theatre after she sacrificed herself to save him.

Elsa Delplace, 35, used her body as a human shield to protect her son Louis when ISIS gunmen opened fire on the crowd at an Eagles of Death Metal concert in the theatre.

Her mother, 61-year-old Patricia San Martin, also died during the massacre, one of a series of coordinated attacks on the French capital on Friday night.

May she rest in peace and be an inspiration to many. Hopefully there are family to help her son handle the rough road ahead of him.

Yeah geez, what's the matter with us?

Can't we all see that letting scummy muzzies like these into our country is REALLY what being "American" is all about

Maybe our POS muzzi-in-chief will invite some of these psycopaths that he thinks are so great over to the White Hut to hang out with his rent-a-daughters.

OMG. I did not know about that. Satan is the only explanation for this type of savagery.

If someone in that concert hall had a gun the carnage would have been MUCH less..but thanks to gun control laws these people were sitting ducks

I was talking to my wife yesterday about the direction that things seem to be going with the attacks in Paris and the “Black Live Matter” folks here in the U.S.

My comment to her was that when you look at the great accomplishments done in the modern world that required new ideas, new technologies, leadership, discipline, commitment, and sacrifice...things like the Panama Canal, putting a man on the moon, winning WWII, curing polio, and as much as blacks would like to deny it, ending slavery, it is “typical white people” who have done it.

Full disclosure here, as a mongrel of mostly Hispanic origin, I have no dog in this fight.

The point I was making was that when push comes to shove, “typical white folk” are not afraid to make the hard choices, they are not afraid to do the hard work, and they do not quit until the job is done.

There are too many who have been mistaking meekness for weakness and they will wonder, “what just happened” when “typical white folk” have had enough.

Can't imagine the psychological effects this will have on him.

I would hope it will light a fire in him to get training in self defense and arm himself for the coming all out war with islam.

I’m no expert, but they aren’t a heavy metal band.

How do you say that in French?

before the Goat Master in chief chides repubs as being afraid of 3 yr old Syrians, we should ask him why muslims took out this 5 yr olds mother?

61-yr-old grandma was there, too (and, unfortunately, she also died in the shooting.)

Mom’s actions were heroic, but it did strike me as odd that the 5-yr-old (or the 61-yr-old) would be there.

I’m pretty much white. Had Cherokee grandmothers going
way back on both sides; so the Indian blood is diluted a
lot. - Father was a combat veteran of WWII. Great Great
Grandfather was a Rebel soldier at Shiloh. Another Great
Great was a lightkeeper on the Tennessee River. I have his
old Smith & Wesson. It’s LOUD, but nearly no kick at all &
shoots like a dream. Don’t know if he ever had to shoot
anybody with it; but I will if they force my hand.

I think you are confusing band name with music style.

I confess I had never heard of the group and assumed the name indicated their style of music.
