OT: Very Lucky Escape - Thanks to some brave Americans

Looks like a very nasty attack was thwarted in France.

Luckily it seems they recognised the guns being loaded / cocked and acted.

Hopefully those injured pull through.

Respect for those who stopped it.

Thank heavens for the marines who acted on their instincts or would have been a lot worse

Sometimes you just think what the hell is the world coming to and what goes through the heads of these people !!!

Semper fi, great work boys, amazing they were there or could have been so much worse. hope the injuries aren't bad.

The worlds going to rat shit at least 70 years ago you had something tangible to go up against, instead of cowards.

Interesting to read today that the marines beat the jihadi until he was unconscious.

That's more like it!

Fucking do gooders do my head in.

When you do or try to commit atrocities like these, the rule book needs to be popped in to the bottom draw.

There are lots of sandy places that would be better turned to glass...

When you do shit like this you give up all right to be treated like a human in my opinion.

Yep.

Are you the Rep for pimping VW leases ?

We do read the motoring press and car pages




Apart from that to me it comes under 'news of Interest'

It was probably reported more on here than the BBC.

We have to humour him my dear F30AM.

He's not allowed out much these days, so his only contact with the outside world is this forum.
