The head of the French national rail service says that train marshals, armed and allowed to use their weapons, will be patrolling some passenger trains, one of a series of new security measures.

Guillaume Pepy said on iTele TV on Sunday that the marshals will be in civilian dress, chosen from the SNCF train authority’s 3,000 security agents and trained for the task. …

Nothing new. A few years back while still employed, the company I worked for at the time sent me to France on business. At that time, there were NUMEROUS armed police and military personnel all over the place which included the train station I traveled into and out Paris from. Armed military personnel were ALSO on the train and patrolled regularly during the 4 hour train ride I was taking.

So they’re doing nothing more than they’ve already been doing.

Not bad, but I’ll only be impressed when they have closed NUMEROUS mosques, and LARGE numbers of muslims walking along in cities have been randomly stopped and proned out with their pockets emptied.

They have gotten the idea they run the place, and that needs to go away.

ALL second, third wives have to be cut off from public benefits —immigrant knocked up mothers automatically disqualified from housing, etc.

THEN I’ll be a bit more optimistic.

No bullets though. That would be racist.

Not much point in carrying weapons if you can’t use them Aptly demonstrated on our troops by the rules of engagement in the Middle East.

Via the mass immigration of Islam, the European elites are in effect “deporting” their fellow citizens to a middle eastern war zone.

Treason.

A third of the guards will probably be Muslims. Their police and military are full of them and no one knows their loyalties.

That's the case. We will all live in a police state because we will be forced to live with our ancient enemies.

So much for "democracy".

Had a friend who was French Special Forces.

Coming back from service in Africa he encountered the first African Muslims he had ever seen in the Police Nationale at the border.

They said, "welcome to France!", he responded, "same to you!"

Bringing in ‘Cheap Labor’ can be very expensive...

Then again, France’s elites don’t take trains anymore than our elites take trains... Guess the ‘cheap labor express’ still ‘works’ for the crooks.
