Life in Paris like life in London.
Just part and parcel of living in a big city.
When your police stations are correctly judged soft targets . . . you may just be in trouble.
Nice army base. It would be a pity if something happened to it. (Can someone post a link?)
He was a civilian employee at the police, that’s all they said.
Let us see:
Will the name of the assailant more resemble:
1) Maurice LaPierre,
2) John Reynolds, or
3) Mohammand Al Hassan.
I’m betting it’s more like 3).

Kind of like hiring ROP aircraft mechanics. Good thing we passengers are strip searched.
#2 or 3?
Do you mean what will be reported or what it actually was?
If it is possible we will never learn.
During the mayhem, did the cops have to go find the key to unlock the gun cabinet?
France 24 is reporting that the perp was a 45 year old IT worker who has 20+ years with law enforcement.

It could be a converted Maurice LaPierre or John Reynolds. Converts to Islam are often the most radical.
Or maybe Maurice just lost a promotion, or a girlfriend. One thing though is for sure. If there is a Muslim connection, it will be buried under layers of government misinformation.
Didn’t the Dems or some group recently introduce a move to ban pointed knives? Better check those scissors, too....and mandate blunted hatchets.
They need to ban pointy knives and this would have never happened. And they have done a good job of importing people from the middle east. They need to import lots more followers of the Religion of Peace, to make things more peaceful. /sarcasm
OK, you're on. $10 to FR for the loser?
Either a rejected man (cherchez la femme) or an office worker going postal are my candidates.
I was outside the Prefecture a week ago today. I found Central Paris to be very peaceful (I'm from Brooklyn), and the Metro surprisingly white and civilized.
YMMV, of course.
Time to ban assault knives. Assault knives have a sharp blade, a smooth handle grip, a sharp point and capable of multiple stabs.
Gosh, if there is a Muslim connection, I hope it doesn’t reflect badly on the Religion of Peace.
