French Presidential Candidate ..Terrorism 'Will Be a Fact of Daily Life' After Deadly Attack Paris
Independent Journal Review ^ | 04/21/2017 | Conor Swanberg

Just days before France's hotly contested elections, the country was rocked by yet another high profile and tragic terror attack, this time right on the famous Champs-Élysées.

A lone gunman, armed with an assault rifle, opened fire on bystanders and police officers, killing one and wounding numerous others. He was gunned down while trying to flee on foot.

The shooter, 39-year-old Karim Cheurfi, also known as Abu Yusuf al-Baljiki, was known by French authorities and had recently been let out of jail after serving nearly 20 years for trying to kill police officers in 2001.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.

With the major election looming over the French people, multiple candidates spoke out against the attack. National Front leader, Marine Le Pen, even suspended her campaign for the day, out of respect for the victim.

Another candidate who has been leading in the polls along with Le Pen, Emmanuel Macron, was quoted by the New York Times saying that these type of attacks will seemingly become normal in the future:

“This imponderable threat, this threat, will be a fact of daily life in the coming years.”

no matter what country or color or language, liberalism is the same all over the world. No sense closing borders or hunting them down or kicking them out. you folks will just have to live with it. That is their solution.

When I first of this, I turned to my wife and said they will soon announce that we just have to accept acts of terrorism there is nothing we can do about it.

Not quite what they say but it is what they mean.

Macron is left-of-center....

We say the French are oblivious but every day I see at least 10 to 15 towel headed muslim fast breeders with at least 3 pups in tow.

It’s over...

It’s over for any country that harbors muslims.

Even DJT does not seem to understand it.

Everyone knows what must be done, but no one wants to say it.

Only if it is allowed to be done. Elect Marine Le Pen and bring the madness to an end.

“Even DJT does not seem to understand it.”

The Nazis couldn’t do it, the Japs couldn’t do it, but the INS DID IT.

Killed the United States.

Notice the Left is not caterwauling about Obama interfering in the French or Israeli elections.

First they claim “there is no problem”.

Then they claim “there us no solution”.

The French are destined to be the doormats and losers of the universe unless they are led by a woman (Joan of Arc) or a man who is not French (Napoleon Bonaparte, a Corsican).

Perhaps Marine Le Pen can save France from itself.
