I’m sure this incident will cause Obama to rethink Amnesty and to shut down the border immediately. /s

Probably a fishing boat from Africa.

I’m guessing they were Algerian.

the first responders who arrived at the scene on bicycles and without defensive weaponry were entirely unprepared to face an ongoing attack by murderous, AK-47-wieldling Islamist gunmen.

No French Polize is complete without their white flags. That is their most important “weapon”.

i support removing all muslims from european and north american countries.

“They were asking for it” is slowly beginning to trend. Blame goes to “religious extremists”...you know, like Quakers.

The first police to arrive at the scene of the attack were forced to withdraw in the face of superior firepower.

"Superior" implies that the officers had less capable guns. They are not allowed to carry guns at all. I can't blame the officers for withdrawing - but I can blame idiotic liberal policy.

“STOP! Stop or I’ll say STOP, again!”

[Irenic]

She looks ticked off, that is good.

Obama has been busy releasing terrorists. Every terrorist attack now belongs to the Democrat Party.

“Summary disposition.”

[pabianice]

They believed the “This is a Gun Free Zone” sign in the lobby would protect them.

[Servant of the Cross]

Well, duh. It's not called Gay Pari for nothing.

Even armed police do this. Its happened here and the folks caught in the ‘war zone’ were on their own. The lesson is to be prepared.

[MeshugeMikey]

its a start.

eventually the French may actually come to grips with the mess they’ve gotten themselves into.

[Osage Orange]

I would never be a policeman...if they told me I will be unarmed.

Clouseau: Were you expecting one? A beaum?

[henkster]

Venue transferred to a Higher Court.

I keep thinking of Zell Miller’s “spiteball” remark when reading this story.

Prayers for everyone, in particular the cop who was just murdered in the coldest blood imaginable.
