A gunman suspected of killing seven people in the name of al-Qaeda, including three children at a Jewish school, has been arrested by police after an hours-long siege in southwestern France.

About 300 police, some in bullet-proof body armor, had earlier cordoned off an area surrounding a four-storey house in a leafy suburb of the city of Toulouse where the 24-year-old Muslim man, identified as Mohamed Merah, was holed up on the ground floor.

Merah had been arrested for bomb making in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar in 2007 but escaped months later in a Taliban prison break, the director of prisons in Kandahar said.

Merah, a French citizen of Algerian origin...

The link says the man has NOT given up yet,that the siege is still going on. It mentions that his brother is also a radical and that they had a car filled with explosives. The (expletive deleted) also has stated that he planned to kill another French soldier in Toulouse today;the victim was already picked out.

Sure will. This douche is crapping on the whole country so he can have his 5 min of fame with a pathetic audience made up of feminist witches on camera. That’s what gays do, dying for attention, they will sacrifice all... no kidding and no pun intended.

“Look, funny funny, I wine and dine, being a douche to folkes around...”

Cheap people.

If the French police spread misinformation about NeoNazis deliberately as a strategy to induc the real murderer to drop his guard. . .what is the excuse for the global media posting the following unbelievable nonsense:

French suspect showed no sign of militant leanings, but spent time in militant Pakistani area

or the UK Guardian 16 minutes ago:

French suspect showed no sign of militant leanings

It appears the AP is coordinating their narrative. Big surprise, eh?

The Danish media should hang their head in utter shame

Contrast those statements/headlines with:

The story I posted was very inaccurate. I’m sorry it was misleading.

[BlackVeil]

The owner of a local motorcycle repair shop says he contacted police after they (finally!) released security camera footage of the attacker approaching the school. He knew the motorcycle, and remembered a recent conversation with the owner, who said some odd things about the location chip in his cycle, and also that he had recently changed the color. He had the owners name and address in his database, and gave it to police.

OH, Islamic nazies are actualy a bridge for liberals’ association with Hitler as well as the like of Stalin and what not.

[Piranha]

I can think of no excuses for those articles. I’m also not saying that the Israeli reporters’ conclusion is correct, just that they were quoted as conjecturing that this might be the case.

Let’s see. A murderer kills Jewish children right in front of their father/parents.

Where have we heard that before? Let’s see. Hummm. WW2 perhaps? Nazis, perhaps?

Russia, the Soviet Bloc; So. Korea during the Korean War; So. Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, by the No. Vietnamese; Che Guevere executing Cuban political prisoners, including teenaged boys; Red China and occupied Tibet; Zimbabwe under Marxist Mugabe; Ethiopia under marxist Mengiste and his “Red Terror”.

The Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Al Qaeda in Mumbai, India (the rabbis and their children/wives). The Moslems in Thailand. The Al Shahab moslem terrorists in Somalia. Al Qaeda in Yemen, perhaps. Khomeini and his mentally deranged Mullahs in Iran.

This rings a bell, doesn’t it? “Peace in our time”. “The religion of peace”. “The people’s liberation forces”.
They were landlords, oppressors, blackmarketeers, opponents of the people, etc.

Yes, these young children were all of the above, in the deranged, psychopathic mind of an Islamic jihadist, and a Nazi and a Communist.

I’m sure Pres. Obama will visit the graves of these children, very soon, tomorrow, next week, next year, perhaps when he retires. Hey why not bring Eric Holder along. He’s cool with terrorists - he released enough of them re Clinton’s pardons.

In fact, while they are at it, they can visit the grave of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and any other US law enforcement agent killed by the narcoterrorists of Mexico.

Tomorrow, next week, next year, someday. YEAH RIGHT.
