Just heard a report that said the shooter was a known violent criminal. Getting onto the island (Strassbourg) is difficult. One has to pass through “airport style” security.
Known violent criminal “defeats” airport style security?
Sure, Macaroni...sure.
Such a sad state of affairs the world has gotten into.
However, given the issues in France, if anyone is looking for a solid older movie that speaks to the French Resistance and French Patriotism, then I highly recommend “This Land is Mine”. Stars Charles Laughton.
I watched it for the first time while I was stationed overseas and bought the VHS in the commissary for cheap. It struck me so hard I’ve watched it at least once, pretty much, every year since then.
Highly recommend it - wish I could project it on the Arch de Triumphe for the yellow jackets to watch. Sure they would give it a roaring round of approval.
The “known criminal” was wanted for murder, cops went to his house earlier to get him, he was gone. Also attack is being designated “terrorist” attack, dude is moslem apparently.
He also escaped, supposedly, in a stolen taxi and cops didn’t know, were searching for him on foot.
It can’t get any more stupid. Well, actually it probably can and will, sadly.
And still no word on whether he's a raggedy man or not?
That would help tell the tale.
p.s. Maybe it was this guy?
