#1 And not a single person out of 600 stood in their way, I'm sure.

French Pussies.

#2 As several commenters on No Pasaran noted, a train has many cars. You can't tell very well what is going on in other cars, and the thugs would have picked the most vulnerable one to attack, so the odds were not really 600 to 20.
I have no idea what the hour and a half is about--if anything. I doubt that French and German reporters are any more accurate than our own.

#3 Police in Nice, meanwhile, said they had escorted the group of drunken youths and put them on the train Sunday to ensure they did not cause trouble in the city

How French.

#5 It does appear that the 93e Infanterie Volontaire wasn't on duty that night.

#6 Sounds like France is about due for their own version of Bernard Goetz.

#8 This is the alternate future we could have right here so everyone when they vote should remember this, the result of the peace-love-&-happiness mentality taking over the gov and its systems the menatality were the letter of the law overrides the meaning of the law like the letter tells the police a formal complaint must be filed even thou the meaning always was do your freekin job. What bothers me is unlike Australia or here were the outrage would be deafing in France these things like this just go over with a mere oooh sah plau.

And people wonder why our enemies think the west is dead and ripe for the taking.

#9 A replay of Mo's caravan attacks. Just a practical application of the quran in action. Wait a few more years when the "youths" have the numbers and power to sweep the gendarme aside. Then watch the rest of the caravan attack effects emerge. Could be a new Muzzie feast day in the making.

#10 âThe end of the Third Republic is not the end of France. The reporters of the exodus of the French pay tribute to the courage, the patience, the dauntless spirit of the people on the roads. They all agree that the peasant refugee preserves under a terrible ordeal his characteristic faith in himself and his country. The peasant is France, steady, tough, independent and brave. ... Nobody who knows the grass roots of France can doubt that even under Nazi occupation the Republic will survive, will be reincarnated, may in the long run be the force which will help to fashion the Fourth Republic.â

âWithin the framework of the Third Republic ... there lived and flourished a civilization so brilliant, so human, so gracious and beautiful, that mankind will be in its debt forever. ... When free men look back upon this Republic, they will remember ... the artists and thinkers, the poets, musicians, and scientists who made France during those years a temple of the Western spirit.â

- The New York Times, 1940

"Forgiveness is not what's difficult; one's always too ready to forgive. And it does no good, that's obvious.â
