| #5 Man... the French staff just ran and cried about how terrifying it was to be locked in a safe room. What a bunch of cowards. |

| #4 According to the suspect's lawyer, his intent was robbery, not terrorism. I still say the guys should have gotten his AK and shot him in the privates. |

| #3 Either Europe needs to pull its head out, or start allowing all European trains to offer free passes to US military. Not sure EVERY ONE of them would act this way, but a vast majority would. Three brave men -- I'm proud of them! |

| #1 "It was at 5.45pm, as the train crossed the Belgian border into northern France, that a 28-year-old French bank worker left his seat and tried to get into the toilet on coach 12. The door opened on a shirtless dark-haired man, in white trousers and trainers, who was holding a Kalashnikov across his bare chest. Inside his rucksack were nine full magazines of ammunition, holding 280 rounds, and several knives. Somewhere he also had a handgun." on a high speed train nobody could escape. Theocratic fascist Islamist would have murdered everyone on the train. But for the heroes from the US - the only ones with balls to challenge. French rail staff ran away and locked themselves in a safe room behind a steel door. they only lived because the Islamist fascist's machine gun jammed. My favourite quote in the story is this: "The attacker, Ayoub el-Khazani, a 25-year-old (Islamist fascist from Morocco) Moroccan known to European intelligence agencies, pleaded with the Americans to give him back his gun, said Sadler. “But we just carried on beating him up and immobilised him and that was it.” |
