Oh, so look at all those folks at that night club that protected themselves during that mussie outrage. Please tell me the last time any French person saved themselves or their family from a home invader or on the street. EVEN THE FRENCH COPS DON’T HAVE GUN!!! Blow that up your dress!!!
Listen smartass, I lived in France for years and still own property there. I’ll be in France soon for an extended stay again.
I am a former Regional Champion at Olympic Trap. I have SHELVES full of trophies, both in metal and stuffed. Don’t mess with me about what I KNOW for FACT!
The French Cop which you refer to who was shot was a dispenser of parking tickets, not a “beat” Gendarme. Tell me the police or gendarmes which you see in the airports with sidearms and machine guns are not armed!! What about the ones seen on the streets around the Embassys as well as elsewhere wherever their are large groups of people.
The word “Cop” does not apply in many instances in France as they do not have municipal “cops” as we do here in America, except in rare cases. There are POLICE in places like Paris, but not everywhere in France. Most of France is under the jurisdiction of the Gendarmerie. The GENDARMES live in Casernes and their assigned stations are changed every few years so that they don’t become too friendly with the local populations. It is thought to cut down on possible corruption. Gendarmes are actually a branch of the French Armed Forces. The closest “police station” which is a gendarmerie to my house in France is over 17 kilometers away. By French Law you are supposed to call the gendarmerie if there is a breakin or whatever. It is the same attitude of the police in America. Call the police first.
In the case you cite, EXACTLY as in the GUN FREE ZONES in America, people didn’t carry firearms. What difference is there between the victims in the French nightclub and Orlando????? They were in a GUN FREE ZONE!
Your ignorance is appalling.
