    Think we jumped to the wrong conclusion he was going to rob the train and he found the gun with ammunition in a suitcase.

    A lawyer for the Moroccan man accused of opening fire on a train to Paris says his client found the weapons and planned a robbery.

    Since 9/11 I have said things have changed, in the past before 9/11 Mussies held hostages, and negotiated with the Authorities, Entebbe in Uganda, London Iranian embassey etc.
    It's all changed since 9/11 civilians cannot sit back and await a rescue package to come their way.
    Civilians are left with no choice, you are going to die regardless of what a good bunny hugging , tree hugging greenie you are.
    So you may as well go down fighting, simple, a pack of unarmed civilians swarming a Muslim killer can overwhelm the attacker.
    The mindset of the cowardly Western Civilian population needs to be reschooled to defend yourselves.
    Immediately.
    Like the first Americans did on that flight back in September the 11th 2001
    Yes they died in the crash after rushing the cockpit, but they saved a lot more lives in their sacrifice.

    The phone line from Flight 93 was still open when a GTE operator heard Todd Beamer say: 'Are you guys ready? Let's roll'

    That's how Todd Beamer lived.

    And that's how he died, helping to lead a takeover by passengers on United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed Tuesday in Somerset County. It was the fourth plane to go down in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

    And that's the lesson learned on Flight 93 and almost 14 years later three brave men without hesitation carried on.

    You can't make this stuff up:

    Terrorist Is ‘Dumbfounded’ That He’s Taken for a Terrorist

    A gunman who attacked passengers on a high-speed train in France two days ago is “dumbfounded” at having been taken for an Islamist militant and says he only intended to rob people on board because he was hungry, his lawyer said on Sunday.

    As details emerged of the gunman’s early adult life in Spain, lawyer Sophie David said her client — now in detention near Paris — also looked ill and malnourished.

    French and Spanish sources close to the case have identified him as a 26-year-old Moroccan named Ayoub el Khazzani who was known to European authorities as a suspected Islamist militant.

    “(I saw) somebody who was very sick, somebody very weakened physically, as if he suffered from malnutrition, very, very thin and very haggard,” David told BFMTV.

    “He is dumbfounded by the terrorist motives attributed to his action,” she added.

    David said the man was barefoot and wore only a hospital shirt and boxer shorts for the police interrogation in Arras, northern France, where the train stopped after the incident.

    The Moroccan told David he had found the Kalashnikov he had taken onto the train in a park near the Gare du Midi rail station in Brussels where he was in the habit of sleeping.

    “A few days later he decided to get on a train that some other homeless people told him would be full of wealthy people traveling from Amsterdam to Paris and he hoped to feed himself by armed robbery,” David said.

    The lawyer said the Moroccan had untreated wounds on his face when he spoke to her through an interpreter. He also told David he did not think he had fired any shots before his gun jammed."

    Didn't he also ask his captors to give him his gun back?

    Full marks for chutzpah, if nothing else.

    He was reported to French DGSE by Spanish security, why did the French fail to follow him up and allowed him to purchase AK47 and some grenades and stuff? French failed. US and UK individuals had to do the hard work. Shape of things to come? No, it always was like this.

    Hero Airman That Stopped Terror Attack On French Train Nominated For Air Force’s Highest Award For Bravery Outside Of Combat…

    He also qualifies for the Purple Heart for being wounded in a terrorist attack unless the powers that be believe it was a ‘botched train robbery’.

    The Air Force will nominate Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone for the Airman’s Medal, the highest award for bravery outside of combat, the service’s secretary said Monday.

    Stone, together with Oregon Army National Guard Spc. Alek Skarlatos, a civilian friend and a British civilian, halted a gunman on a passenger train from Amsterdam to Paris last week, tackling him to the ground before anyone was injured in the attack.

    “Had it not been for this heroic quartet, I’m quite sure that today we would be sitting here discussing a bloodbath,” Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James told reporters during a briefing at the Pentagon."

    Good for him. He certainly deserves it. In the Army it's called the Soldier's Medal. A Drill Sergeant in my Company got one when driving home one night he saw a car go off the road and land in a lake. Late at night, dark, and alone, he dove in, managed to find the car, smashed a window with a rock from the lake bed, and dragged out a woman and her kid. Both survived.

    Indeed, I recall from my perambulations through St. James's and Regent's Parks in London I was forever tripping over automatic rifles and the like. One day I sprained my ankle on an old Vickers machine gun someone had carelessly left lying around. I was tempted to take it home but thought someone might notice as I wended my way clutching the weapon. Presumably this Moroccan chappie had a magic cloak to render himself and his Kalashnikov invisible in the area around Gare de Midi but finding extra clips of ammunition as well as the gun was certainly fortuitous.

    These Islamic wallahs are certainly odd though. Starving hungry, penniless and homeless yet he manages to pay for an expensive ticket on a train which he is planning to rob, a venture in which he omits to ask for money before he starts shooting his victims? Perhaps something was lost in translation.

    Father of Thalys Train Hero Alex Skarlatos: "This PC Crowd" Needs to "Recognize Terrorism for What It Is"

    It's better to die like a lion than to be slaughtered like sheep."

    MSNBC's very PC Tamron Hall doesn't know quite what to make of this.

    ^Look at he headline on the screen. These fucking morons are STILL calling this Army National Guard guy a Marine. I think they simply have no idea that there are different branches of the military, none of them, obviously, ever having served.

    Can't be very old, as the attack was three days ago. And he wasn't a Marine three days ago either. So what's your point?

    Generally speaking, Johnny Wog has throughout history fucked over his own kind much worse than any western colonialism which as a rule provided some semblance of order where none existed previously. The international brotherhood of muslims is quite laughable really given the Shia/Sunni schism.

    Seriously, in this day and age if you saw a muslim nutter with a gun would you not try and cripple the fucker before he killed you?

    It's not even bravery, it's simply survival.

    I can understand the cheese eating surrender monkeys diving for cover though, that's what they do.

    Yes, but seriously the french passangers did nothing, they didn't even help the bleeding victims afterwards, Americans and British did that. Euros, averting their eyes, hoping I am not the next. European identity.
