Le Pen After Paris Airport Attack: France ‘Overwhelmed’ with Violence
Breitbart UK ^ | 20 Mar 2017 | NICK HALLETT

France is “overwhelmed” with violence thanks to the “laxity” of successive governments, Front National presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has said. In a tweet after Saturday’s Islamist attack at Paris’s Orly airport, Ms. Le Pen praised the bravery of her country’s soldiers and blamed the incident on the weakness of the French political establishment.

Troops shot a man dead at the airport on Saturday morning after he tried to grab a soldier’s gun, sparking a major security alert that shut the airport down.

Interior Minister Bruno Le Roux said the man, Ziyed Ben Belgacem, was “known to the police and intelligence services” before the incident.

Describing the attack, Paris prosecutor François Molins said: “With a pistol in his right hand and a bag over his shoulder, he grabbed (the soldier) with his left arm, made her move backward by three to four meters (yards), positioning her as a shield, and pointed his revolver at her forehead.”

He then yelled: “Put down your weapons! Put your hands on your head! I am here to die for Allah. Whatever happens, there will be deaths.”

“Everything suggests that he wanted to take the [soldier’s rifle] so there would be deaths and to shoot people,” Mr. Molins said.

The soldier’s two comrades opened fire, killing the attacker.

The attacker’s father and brother were detained by police for questioning but later released.

Notice the wording on this incident does not say it was an Islamic Terrorist, yet his own words say he is there to die for Allah...Glad that the police accommodated his desire!

Reminds me of the Italian cop who bagged the Berlin muzzie.

So many people in the West are jonesing for a green light to open up on the stink-hand primitives.

In my dream movie “The TRUMPFATHER”, Trump, La Pen and Geerd take out all high level opponents at the same time and send the rest of the neocons/other assorted garbage into panicked hiding.

Le Pen is the last and only chance France has. It may already be too late. All we can do is pray for the French people.

He was wrong. There were not deaths; there was one death. His.
