"I didn't realise what was happening until I saw a guard run past. I looked back and saw a guy enter with a Kalashnikov.

"We didn't know if the gun wasn't working or anything like that. Spencer just ran anyway and if anyone had gotten shot, it would have been Spencer and we're just very lucky that nobody got killed," he added in quotes shown on the BBC.

The terrorist thought, hoped, they were with
the French enablers that encourage, and then ignore,
Islamic terrorism.

French LEO knew EVERY ONE of the recent terrorists

“He didn’t say anything. He was just telling us to give back his gun. ‘Give me back my gun! Give me back my gun!’ But we just carried on beating him up and immobilised him and that was it.”

Typical Muslim arrogance:

“I am a jihadi engaged in holy war, and you infidels have no right to interfere! So give me back my gun so I can kill you! It is the will of Allah!!!”

I was just thinking of something similar.

They literally think they have the right to demand we help them kill us.

Five will get you ten that the reason the muzzie asked for the weapons back is because this American looked as though he might be ethnically Islamic.

"I didn't realize what was happening until I saw a guard run past. I looked back.........."

The guard was running away.

These Americans ran towards danger.

Damn, they were brave.

Too bad it didn’t have a bayonet attached. They could have given it back to him right in the belly. *SPLORCH*!
