Once again, French surrender monkeys saved by brave USians
A heavily armed man who was overpowered on a train in France is a 25-year-old Moroccan known to the intelligence services, officials say.
2 US service men and their friend take down a terrorist on a French train.
According to a French actor on board the train, the train crew ran away, locked themselves in a special crew compartment and refused to come out until after the terrorist was subdued.
“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
One Frenchman tried, then ran away. The Brit that helped the Americans got it right. Sit and die or attack and maybe die.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
"Hating America is something best left to Mobius. He is an expert Yank hater.
He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead
Wait a sec... the incident started with someone encountering a man assembling an assault rifle in a train washroom. That sounds like a typical all- American activity. Did they really attack him because he was brown? Maybe the guy with the gun began shooting because he was 'standing his ground'...
There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
Anti-terror investigators in Paris now have 96 hours to question the suspect.
If I know my French hosts, they'll have exactly as much time as they want. France is a very bad country to choose to **** with the police & intelligence agencies.
guess whos making the talk show circuit now!!! (I guess if the militaty lets him - they better!) and I would think this stone guy is probably going to get a bump in rank too.

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

There's a theory that Americans have a serious hero complex that results in far higher rates of firefighters and cops dying in the line of duty than other nations. Due to your culture they apparently take far greater risks and subsequently suffer the consequences of that. The train staff in this situation did exactly the right thing (apparently grabbed some nearby passengers and locked themselves into a more secure area).
Real life isn't a Lethal Wepaon movie, when you put yourself up against an armed attacker, the normal result is that you wind up dead. As one of the Americans involved said, the only reason they survived was that the attackers gun jammed. Blind luck basically.
It's true though. We all love a good 'Hero saves the day!' story, but the result a lot more frequently is that the wannabe hero ends up dead. Except then we don't usually hear about them, they're just another victim.
