French LEO knew EVERY ONE of the recent terrorists

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!!!”

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.
