Total blackout on France24, mentioned 3rd Column on Drudge. Fox, like DeeCee take, weekends off. More news about the threat of "hate speech" out of UK.

"Total blackout on France24...."

Was the gunman shouting Orly Akbar?

Total blackout ups the odds that the muhammad coefficient is nearly 1.0.

"Police have dismissed terrorism as a motive, with local radio suggesting the attack may be drug crime-related."

It's never terrorism until they say. And they never say.

Local florists and candle stores will have brisk business.

It’s probably those sans-culottes again...unruly peasants, the lot of them!!! /s;)

“lone wolf”

Everyone on Twitter says it is a drug deal or gang thing.

From DailyMail:

Terror alert in Lille as 'gangster' gunman shoots three people outside a Metro station 'to settle scores' as the French city is put in lockdown by armed police just two days after London attack

Do they have Amish in France?

Everyone on Twitter says it is a drug deal or gang thing.

Taking a gun out and randomly shooting people is pretty much the definition of terrorism, no matter who or what the reason.

Most urbanized cities in Europe with train stations...are also drug sales centers. Cops have virtually all come to the conclusion that it was a drug-gang ‘message’ to an opposing drug-gang, with civilians in the middle.

If you go to Essen, Germany or Duisburg, Germany...various drug-gangs (Lebanese, Serbian, Turk, Kurd, etc) in the mix. They all have illegal weapons (shocker for the authorities with all the laws in place). About once a month now in Germany, there’s some drug-war activity....gang shoot-outs. Cops come in...pick up the body, and write a report....little else occurs. Prosecution and Judges have no stamina for handling cases like this.

So the gangs seem to be made up of immigrants and refugees...Another reason to close borders!!

Actually, what they normally yell sounds more like “ALOHA SNACKBAR” to me. :D

It is NOT terrorism and it is NOT related to Islam.

Huguenots at it again.

[ErikJohnsky]

not them. It’s the Radical Jehovah Witnesses.

[blueplum]

wait. The Italian gangstas are fighting it out in France? Or the Somalian gangstas?

And Lord knows terrorists never deal in narcotics to fund their evil /s

People sometimes forget how much Afghanistan junk goes toward funding terrorism.

But, But But they have strict gun control in Europe.
