Americans overpower gunman on French train

[AMCRambler]

Somehow, even when I saw you posted to this thread, it was going to be a shitload of negative bullshit.

You're a sad little troll.

I think I hear the B52 warming up...

It's a truism that people remember clearly when things go wrong, and quickly forget when things go right. There's no reason to remember things going right, it happens most of the time and it's boring. So while it's nice to see US Marines doing what they do best, it will be quickly forgotten by most because it provides little to bitch about.

But I'm sure glad we have guys who will run toward danger instead of away from it, thanks, US Marines.

I avoid those these days a bit, I was annoying people too much.

Still get him out now and then.

The people of France will no doubt hate us even more now for those mean Americans interfering with the French ability to surrender.

Hey a semi famous French actor cut his hand breaking the glass to pull the fire alarm.

Sue the manufacturer for making a defective alarm and the owner of the train for installing a defective alarm.

Some people never miss a chance to insult an ally.
Why don't you stuff a sock in it instead?

Like France would do the same for us? We have to do everything in this world, why can't someone pay us for this stuff?

 

[crashtech]

As if Marines do what they do for the pay.

What payment is due for this? These Marines will probably get free care would two French guys get free medical care in America?

I'm not even a fan of France

Ooohrah!

What a silly comment. "We". What did you do? Did you tackle this guy and disarm him did you? Why would France owe the US anything over the actions of two people?

From CNN, there were 3 Americans. One civilian, one Air Force, and one National Guard.

 

[bononos]

I like that the kid from Oregon is still wearing the same shirt from the attack when he's holding up the medal he was given. Now that I look, there's blood on the Englishman's shirt too. Their knuckles don't look bad. I hope their shoes are okay.

Moroccan man bleed a lot.

'As he was cocking it to shoot it, Alek just yells, 'Spencer, go!' And Spencer runs down the aisle,' Sadler said. 'Spencer makes first contact, he tackles the guy, Alek wrestles gun away from him, and the gunman pulls out a box cutter and slices Spencer a few times. And the three of us beat him until he was unconscious.'

'The gunman never said a word,' he added.

So much for them being marines. God, the news these days is pathetic.

Spencer Stone, an airman first class in the Air Force
Alek Skarlatos a specialist with the Oregon National Guard (Army)
Anthony Sadler, civilian friend of Stone and Skarlatos
along with
Chris Norman, a British civilian living in France

The actor who was hurt said the train crew locked themselves in their own car and wouldn't respond to the passengers. (Opportunity for so many comments. )

''The actor, who was travelling with his two children and his girlfriend, said: 'Suddenly, members of the crew ran into the hallway and their faces were pale.'
He said the staff hurried towards their own car on the train and opened it 'with a special key' before they locked themselves inside.
Mr Anglade claims he and other passengers banged on the door and shouted at staff to open up, but their cries for help were ignored.
He said: 'Nobody replied, there was radio silence. It was terrible and unbearable, it was inhumane."

Do we have to keep saving their asses???

doesn't sound quiet to me at all.

Any close passengers surely have moved away or are at least not conversating about the weather after what happened.

^^I watched it on my phone

Oh man...extra schadenfreude that the attacker is hog tied on the ground moaning in pain in the video!

Holy balls, I spelled schadenfreude correctly!
