All my heroes have always been muslims.
I can’t help it - they’re just so noble and pure of heart.
He shot the terrorist, made sure there was nothing else there, then fled. The bomb was not nearly large enough to have hurt anybody who was not directly in the area.
His action probably saved a lot of lives, I doubt anyone else but the terrorist was killed.
Muslim or not, the policeman did his job, and I am sure he lived to tell about it.
Would be nice to have disintegrater ray guns.
It looked to me like the terrorists on the floor had a mechanical friction type detonator. He needed to pull a cord or something like a cord pretty far, judging by his arm movement upward, and then the explosion took about 2 more seconds.
If that is the case, if you are an armed security guard or armed citizen, you need to treat them like zombies and put some lead in their brain, instead of running away. It looks to me like it was the opposite of an electronic dead-man switch—this self-detonation took a pretty big effort by the wounded/dying terrorist. He had to roll around to find his cord, and get into a position to give it a big yank.
The security guard who ran away (if he was armed) should have shot him in the head and stopped the detonation.
In one report I heard that one of the perps blew himself up outside against a window wall to get the other guy inside. This might be the first “suicide bomb breaching” I’ve heard of. Turkish security was actually pretty good, much better than a U.S. airport, where all three suicide bombers could have been in the middle of big security lines inside of airport concourses where the blasts would be contained for much more power and effect.
So, a gun saved many lives.
Wrong. They are on a global conquest mission and the PJ Media authors should know better. Everybody here knows that. "Submit or Die." It'll probably show up on on some US state license plates within the decade.
A hero is someone who chooses to defend others knowing that there is a high probability of dying himself, but he does it anyway, because it is right.
It’s just a shame the policeman couldn’t have shot the terrorist in the head once he had dropped him, averting the bombing; but I can’t say I blame him for running when he saw the bomb belt.
