An Immigrant? A Refugee? Someone on Trump’s Muslim Ban list? No?

Just an average run of the mill Yusef.

We’ll never know.

Probably “disturbed”.

Go about your business. Nothing to see here.

I wonder if the French would take the threat more seriously if terrorists blew up the Louvre?

Musies like wild dogs don’t need a reason to kill - they decide later if they need one.

This retail defense is miserable.

Someday, the French (and everyone else) needs to get on with the business WHOLESALE.

‘Allahu Akbar’

Which the Ministry of Propaganda assures us means, “this has nothing to do with Islam.”

Agreed. The problem is that the leftists prefer terrorists over anyone on the right.

It reminds me a bit of France before the WWII German invasion. There was a deep divide between the communists and the right. There were those who preferred the Germans over their domestic enemies, which kept France paralyzed for too long. By the time they realized who the enemy was, it was too late.
