I am utterly amazed that anyone left this sack of dung still breathing for police. A whole lot more restraint than I have.

According to Voix du Nord, the marines heard what appeared to be the sound of a gun being loaded coming from the toilets on the train.

Wait for dems to claim they were racially profiling...

I am amazed they didn’t take the weapon and then empty it into him. WOW.

--- I guess European gun control doesn’t work. ---

In the remarks at the Daily Mail article, one person commented that "the fact that three unarmed men took down a shooter rubbishes all the NRA propaganda about needing guns for defense."

Really, some dope said that. The stupidity burns.

Anyway, the Marines ROCK!!!

That’s some sharp police work.

God has been dis-invited to the party that is America which the liberals have been throwing for several decades now. Eloquently expressed by Dr. Graham’s daughter & getting worse by the day.

FOX Radio news reported that two Americans stopped the shooter.

They didn’t mention anything about the Americans being Marines, or being wounded.

“A Son of Barack?”

Most likely since he’s a Moroccan which makes him an Arab. Obola is half white, but about 43% of the “other half” is Arab not African Black.

Screen capped a better view while the punk was still inside the train. This could be the start of a new rodeo event, Terrorist Roping.
