Train staff on board the high speed train which was the scene of a suspected Islamic extremist attack yesterday have been accused of barricading themselves in their staffroom and locking the door, leaving passengers to fend for themselves.
The Moroccan terrorist was disarmed and beaten unconscious by US servicemen and a British man after he opened fire on a Paris-bound train with a Kalashnikov.
Now, French actor Jean-Hugues Anglade, who was on board the Thalys train during the attack has slammed train staff who he claims locked themselves in an office away from the attacker and refused to help the trapped passengers. But the head of Thalys, the train company that ran the train on which the attempted attack took place, denied that passengers were abandoned.

He even admits he came in after all the action had stopped but at least he helped.
brits don’t count much with me. Never have. Just a thing with me.
AB, yeah I know put I just wish they had really hurt him really really bad. We know damn well he wanted to slaughter everybody on the train and there would be no armed cops around to stop him.
Hopefully, the French cops and intel guys will question him viciously but I fear that won’t be the case.
Now, sandturd was in Syria and just came back to Spain and then Belgium.
Do they have their own Jeh Johnson running security? Well at least maybe they can find the cutterer’s source of weapons.

No one has more respect for the marines than me - ma and pa were both marines; met in the weeks following VJ day at Camp Pendleton. But the three who took down the terrorist were an airman, guardsmen, and a proud f©©©ing civilian.
Cheese eating surrender monkeys...............
The Frenchie crewman ran out of the carriage and locked himself in a baggage compartment. Hardly heroic.
.......thanks for posting this, I’ve seen it once before but I really, really enjoyed reading it again. It reminds me of all my uncles on my mother and fathers side. All of them (6) were in the various services in WWII. Just for fun, I will name them: Dad/Army/Stateside/trained medics, Ink/Army/Saipan/medic, Noah, Navy/Solomons/destroyer/anti air gun.
On moms side: Leonard/Navy, Artie/Navy, JW/Navy.
Ofcourse we are all darn proud of all of them. Only Artie is still with us.
Hehe hear that
>>>after he opened fire on a Paris-bound train with a Kalashnikov<<<
The Muzzie only fired one round from a Pistol, the shot that Injured the French-American (?) in the Neck. One of the Soldiers saved that guy’s Life by stopping the Bleeding.
How much do these Journalist types get paid anyway?
Anyone remember the Obama Fantasy Son that got on a D.C. Metro Train about six months ago and brutally murdered a Male Passenger, stabbing and beating him for no apparent reason?
There were 20 People in that Car and nobody did anything to stop the attack. They just cowered in Fear hoping he wouldn’t go after them next.
Not everyone has training to attempt that. I made referenc to tht.
If it wasnt a gun free zone youd have passengers and crew who would take out the threats. Without needing special unarmed combat training to try to.

LOL! and Ouch!
Meanwhile French media site BFMTV are reporting that the man denies being a terrorist and instead claims he wanted to carry out an armed robbery and ransom train passengers.
He also claims he found the weapons in a bag ‘by chance in a Brussels Park’.
Sounds like he already LAWYERED UP....
**** “We were incredibly lucky to have American soldiers with us. I pay homage to their heroic courage and thank them. Without them, we all would be dead.”

Now that is wit!
Three American Marines took this a$$hole out. One was wounded doing it. Marines. No Better friend, No worse enemy. Taking credit for stuff they didn’t do,
Bwahahaha. The crew locked their selves into a car...abandoning the passangers. Typical wimp behavior pervading the world.
