Whew! That's a relief. Jihad Johnny survives to stab another day.
I’m touched that the gendarmes didn’t “badly injure” him, thereby showing their enormous sensitivity. Of course, he was a would be killer but most of all he was a Muslim, while his victims were just 7 nobodies, including some foreign, American nobodies, who had the effrontery to want to go to the movies.
The nearby petanque players apparently tried to down the jihadi by throwing the pentanque balls at him, but it didn’t help a whole lot. However, it made petanque look a lot more macho!
