Frenchman dies a hero by taking a bullet to save a friend's life during the Paris attacks

'Ludovic Boumbas, 40, from Lille, northern France, was celebrating a friend's birthday at the La Belle Équipe restaurant when crazed terrorists fired at revellers on the terraces.

Mr Boumbas, an IT engineer of Congolese origin who moved to Paris a few years ago, threw himself in front of a hail of bullets to save a friend.

Terrorists armed with Kalashnikovs killed 19 people on rue de Charonne in the 11th arrondissement in eastern Paris. All of the staff at La Belle Équipe were women.'

Don’t forget that we narrowly avoided a savage moslem slaughter earlier this year when two heavily armed pig moslems were shot down by an alert cop/security guard at the
Pam Geller Moe ham head art exhibit in Texas.

My heart breaks!

If you watch the awful video, you will see young men dragging their terribly hurt friends to safety. We have such good youngsters in the west; perhaps it is the old men who create the havoc?

Hardly!!! Most of the “old men” are known as our Greatest Generation!”

Um...most of the greatest generation are pushing up the daisies. It is my generation, the baby boomers, in charge now.

Could you please go somewhere and find a brain?

Pam Geller is not allowed in Britain and I can assure you most Brits disdain her. I, on the other hand as a NYer, admire her. She’s a nice lady in person. Very hamish and warm. Very brave as well.

Sorry, but maybe most are, but there are still a lot around, much sharper than you. The baby boomers have caused most of the troubles. Back off and learn something.

The greatest generation is not in charge of the world anymore. They are in their mid to late 90s and have been put out to pasture or, like my father, gone in 2008. Name me one who is a president or prime minister of a western nation. You are so dumb, I fear you represent a new generation of freeper.

In France, it’s the “68’ers” the Maoist college students who rioted against DeGaulle. They were so hardcore Communist, they condemned the Prague Spring that was going on at the same time.

Don’t get me started on that generation! Except that so many decent young men went off to Viet Nam and fought and died for our country. I revere them. I also revere my father’s generation and, especially, my grandfather’s generation who fought, as kiddies, WWI, and then went on to direct WWII. What men and women they were!

My knowledge so far outstrips yours, you simply can’t stand it. The world is screwed up because of your generation in large part. My generation and the greatest generation are making sense to a lot of the youngest generation which will soon put yokels like you out to pasture.

Landside storage around the world is full, and now tanker leasing prices have begun to soar, as ships available to store oil in are getting scarce.

With everyone pumping like crazy, there is now no choice but to refine the oil already in storage, and that is FINALLY driving pump prices down.
