"He leaves here a young man on an excursion ... and he comes back as France's national hero," his father said

A student from Northern California was among several train passengers who helped overpower a machine gun-toting attacker who wounded three people on a high-speed train in Europe Friday, authorities said.

Anthony Sadler Jr., a student from Rancho Cordova, California, was on the train before the attack, which French government officials said could have taken many lives if not for the bravery of Sadler and two of his friends.

"I'm just a college student," Sadler told Reuters. "It's my last year in college. I came to see my friends on my first trip in Europe and we stopped a terrorist. It's kind of crazy."

I love these guys! For the first time since the Obama regime came to powah, I’m proud to be an American again.

Absolutely all kidding aside these heroes would be prosecuted in England for what they did. Incredible but true

There are lots of us left, Diana! The problem we face is the result of decades of “migration” of Northeast Liberals here.

The problem with just cutting and pasting is that you get sentence fragments juxtaposed like that.

“Veteran Opens Fire in NY Building, Killing Guard, Self “

This has nothing to do with the French Train! Someone is confused!

“Student Who Foiled Train Shooting: ‘We Stopped a Terrorist’”

Congratulations. You knew this guy was a terrorist long before the obama administration catches on to that fact.
