Thank GOD this Neo-Nazi didn't succeed. NN's seem to be popping up all over the place lately.
Man Gets Out Gun as French President Passes; Arrested by Police
PARIS (AP) - Police arrested a man who pulled a rifle out of a guitar case as French President Jacques Chirac was inspecting troops Sunday during the annual Bastille Day military parade, police and witnesses said. Cries of alarm from the crowd lining the parade route apparently alerted police, and the gunman fired a single shot as he was wrestled to the ground. Agents stood him up, searched him and took him away in a van.
The Paris police said in a statement that the man was 25 years old and was a member of "neo-Nazi and hooligan" groups. Chirac crushed far-right candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen in presidential elections in May.
Members of the crowd said the man, who had short, brown hair and looked to be in his 30s, took his gun out of a guitar case as the French president was being driven past, down the Champs-Elysees aboard an open-topped jeep.
Paris police said the gun was a .22-caliber. Officers in civilian clothes put the gun and the brown guitar case in the van that took the man away. It was not known whether Chirac was aware of the gunman.
The military parade, a colorful pageant with troops, armored vehicles and aircraft roaring overhead, continued uninterrupted. The parade is a highlight of celebrations marking Bastille Day, France's national holiday.
The man was arrested at the top of the Champs-Elysees where it empties into Place Charles de Gaulle, site of the famous Arc of Triumph.
He managed to reach the flag-bedecked Champs-Elysees despite heavy security. Police lined the avenue and mingled with crowds along the route.
A favorite weapon amoung mafia hit men...
The only problem is,
for this caliber to be effective,
the firearm must be discharged with the muzzle against the skull....
Maybe the reporter meant .223
-or-
Maybe it was a sutpid hooligan.....
I agree. The Paris Fire Dept. must be a classy bunch of firefighters. That was very kind of them.
Perhaps the report lost something in the translation...
although a .22 would not do the job, certainaly a .220 swift would, as they are very accurate, quite powerful..
Ballistics velocity in muzzle energy {ft -lbs}:
9MM...............341
7.62.39mm......1552
.220 Swift.......1586
Either that, or this was a houligan of the swarthy male persuasion.
The difference between a National Socialist and a Communist is a Communist is an international socialist and a National Socialist is a national Socialist.
You see, National Socialists wanted to conquer the world and make the German Socialist party leader, a man named Hitler, be in charge. The Communists in Russia wanted to conquer the world and make the Rusian Socialist party leader(Stalin) be in charge.
The only differnece was the Germans told you up front that Hitler would be the leader and Germans would run the show. The Russians waited until after the take over to tell the people of the conquered land that Stalin would be their leader and the Russians would run the show. There was one slight difference with no real meaning. Communism says all property belongs to the government. NAZIs allowed people to own property but the governemnt had total control of it. In Communism the government had total control of all property and in the Natzi state the government had total control of all property. Why would a government allow persons to own property but give them no rights to the property? You guessed it. You pay taxes on property you own. But in neither case do people control the property they inhabit or use.
Only Socialists could make people in the United States believe that a party that called themselves "National Socicalist" were Capitalists.
If NATZI's were right wing they would have called themselves the National German Business Persons Capitalist Party. They would not have started any wars.

When you think of Nazis-- Think Hillary Clinton, not the Pro-Freedom groups. They are much closer in all regards.
But, then words don't mean anything to the left, they know people are stupid.
Yeah. This is typical of the press. The paragraph was obviously intentionally made to leave implicit the association.
Very Weak cartridge...
The energy @ muzzle is between 117 - 165 ft -lbs
the energy @ 50 yds is between 98 - 115 ft -lbs
Energy required to break skin - about 80 ft -lbs
Energy required to crush bone - about 180 ft -lbs
Why would a neo-Nazi try to assassinate Chirac? The Nazis were gun-grabbing, Jew hating, government loving, atheist socialists, just like today's left, whom Chirac is part of. That's what nazi means: National Socialist.
It could cause a very vad infection!
