PARIS — The gunman who was disarmed by passengers on a train in France two days ago looked weak and malnourished and said he had only meant to rob people, a lawyer who interviewed him after the attack said on Sunday.

"(I saw) somebody who was very sick, somebody very weakened physically, as if he suffered from malnutrition, very, very thin and very haggard," the lawyer, Sophie David, told BFMTV.

You mean the Steinle killing?

*cough* Allegedly *cough* by an illegal immigrant who had been deported multiple times, with prior felonies?

How can you rob people without half a dozen magazines?

Must have been porn magazines!!

[DUMBGRUNT]

The lawyer, in my nation (in my mind), would be hanged with him for saying that.

Two thumbs up!

Hopefully this BS defense will lead right to a life sentence on Devil’s Island.

If the Mooslim was that hungry, why didn’t he rob the dining car? Your quiche or your life! Or stay in Amsterdam the extra five minutes needed to sell the AK and ammo? How did starving boy afford a ticket? Who paid for his trip to Syria and back? What line of “work” was he in?

I wager this weasel is a heroin trafficker who samples the goods (”sick and malnourished”). Amsterdam has been infested with these North African dope flies for decades.

A nerdish guy where I used to work came in one morning and asked me if I knew what marijuana looked like. I allowed as how I had seen pictures of it. Heh, heh.

Then he showed me the joint he found.

We opened it up, and inside was a single twig that was as thick as a pencil and about 2 inches long.

I told him I didn’t think he should smoke it.

looked weak and malnourished ...wanted to rob People for food...

I believe it, Muslim food is commonly eaten with a Box cutter.
He was so hungry he even carried Utensils

If he was hungry he could have sold the AK, the handgun, and the ammunition.

Crystal Meth will do that to the body.

Problem with saying terrorist is malnourished and thin because there are pictures of him where he is not.

[School of Rational Thought]

Terrorist was just a dreamer seeking a better life.

The last use of the guillotine: 10 September 1977

Hamida Djandoubi Marseille Torture murder

Might need some cleaning/oil.

You know you’ve got problems when the best defense your lawyer can come up with is that you were trying to rob people.

..and all this could have been avoided if they just would have thrown him out the window.

[TruthWillWin]

How do you order sheep to become suicide attackers?

[PROCON]

Yes, most defense lawyers are scum, even in France.

[DJ Taylor]

This has to be a first.
They’re actually using armed robbery as a defense.

[Moonman62]

You said it was terrorism. I didn't say it was terrorism.

Watch the French indict our guys. Nothing would surprise me.
