First of all, excellent job Marines.

You guys should be getting heaps of praise for this over there.

You should get it from here also, representing the finest of traditions of the United States abroad.

What a great accomplishment, and rescue of tens of people.

Simply excellent!

You guys deserve a special recognition of some sort.

Awesome day. And these guys will be treated as heroes in France. They don’t like anything foreign much, but -everyone- likes Marines. (while simultaneously being annoyed at them)
Watch France, while shaking their heads in disbelief, have a freaking ball with this.

All the earmarks of a “lone wolf” attack.

These are not "lone wolves". They all have the same boss and master. His name is Satan.

I would have sworn that “assault rifles” were illegal in France.

What those Frenchies need is a little more gun control

Was the radical muslim Moroccan jihadi failed terror suspect still conscious when the train stopped in Paris? How many broken bones, missing teeth, swollen eyes, broken nose, and assorted maladies did he incur and or can he still eat corn of the cobb?

SEMPER FI

Pathetic....main stream media refers to him as “crazed” gunman, and his motive unknown.... he’s a moroccan, no doubt a muslim, no doubt a jihad. 2 plus 2 equals 4
