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'.

OK, so you admit to pretending to having a sense of humor.

What other examples of your pretentiousness do you care to share?

Nope, but I have a dozen family members and am acquainted with dozens more connected with the work I do.

Pretentious, like thinking all queers are not also other things? Just flaming queers that will run away at any sense of trouble? Yes, I’m so pretentious.

No, they are the experts and they have addressed the issue on many occasions. I follow their advice since two are also West Point Grads. No less than 6 retired as full Cols.

You're sources are unimpressive and your original comment is still unsupported by any real evidence.

The favorite claim of every deviant yet recorded: if you oppose Us It must be because you are one of us. Why are you running defense for the sexual deviants, that is the question? The assertions are not wild because you find them offensive—the truth itself is often claimed to be wild assertions. Review the history of the Catholics, the Boy Scouts and all boys schools.

Which is exactly what you did in post 49. Deviant.

The assertions are not wild because you find them offensive…

They are wild because you have no data to back it up.

I’m done with you until you do.

Collecting such data is banned. Don’t be ignorant. Have you heard of nambla?
