A heroic US airman told tonight for the first time how he and his childhood friends brought down a gunman intent on massacring the passengers of the Amsterdam to Paris express train.

Spencer Stone revealed how he woke from a deep sleep to see a man holding an assault rifle and that it 'looked like it was jammed and it wasn't working'.

Speaking for the first time about his crucial role in thwarting the terrorist attack in northern France in Friday he said the trio decided they had to 'do something or die'.

Stone is hailed not only for being the first to grapple with the attacker, but for helping to stop the bleeding in a French-American passenger wounded by a bullet.

A1C Stone is assigned to the 65th Medical Operations Squadron at Lajes Field, Azores.

I decided a long time ago if I was ever in a situation like this I was just going to rush the guy because you're probably going to die anyway.

If everybody rushes the guy, the odds change pretty quickly.

Accolades to CNN. They have been covering this story since Saturday, giving it a lot of airtime.

Praising the heroes.

Some even mentioned ‘Islamist’ when referring to the perp.

My heart is bursting with pride for these three brave young men who averted a certain mass murder. I wonder how many gay men would have risen to the challenge?

[FreedomStar3028]

Probably more than you would think.

This is the same thing that I noticed. I hadn’t watched the Commie News Network in years, but they definitely had the best coverage on this. Has FOX faltered and CNN is now stepping into the vacuum?

This is how “terrorism” of any sort is ended. People are responsible for their own safety. The government, police, and other parasites just feed and grow off it's existence.

Agreed, the police just want ticket revenue to fund their overtime and early retirement. The government just wants to get bigger so they can get to the magic number => absolute zero accountability and massive weath transfers. It's why Trump is popular, people want a doer as we witness government doing nothing, except growing and causing more harm.,

I couldn’t sleep last night and turned on the TV. CNN was preparing to cover the French president awarding the Legion of Honor to the men. Fox was on repeat of Sunday pm shows and MSNBC had something else on. CNN was the only cable channel to cover the moving ceremony. Kudos to them for the reports and boos to Fox for not waking up.

Young badass.

Hoo-aah!

‘We kept hitting him until he was unconscious.’

That is how you do it.

They are military charging a terrorist with an AK-47? Bronze Star with a V device all the way around, IMHO.

STAND DOWN CITIZEN.

YOU ARE TO SHELTER IN PLACE AS YOUR GOVERNMENT HAS DIRECTED YOU.

‘We kept hitting him until he was unconscious.’

That is how you do it.

Incorrect. You beat him until he is DEAD.

Shepard Smith and his sweetie would have pummeled the jihadi with their purses, no doubt about it!

Brave, Brave, Brave Sir Shepard!!!

The best safety device in any populace is a well trained and aware public, willing to act on behalf of one another.

Accomplish that and you don't need much else, at all. The concept of airliners being brought down by five men with box cutters is pathetic, considering there are two hundred other people on board! Be it a train, movie theater, kosher deli, magazine publisher, recruiting center, army base, or whatever.........Good people who stop evil people at step #1 are the key to a peaceful world.

I don’t pretend to know what anyone would do when faced with death. Or life.

I sit by one with a choir who has a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and one leg.

[CrazyIvan]

“In choir”

The masculine American male leads the charge for the feminized French who stood by in terror. Fortunately, the queers, the dykes and the feminists have not repressed all aspects of real men, the masculine male warrior.
