I don't get what Fox news has to do with anything. The attack happened near the town of Arras in northern France on a train that was bound from Amsterdam to Paris. It did not happen in Belgium.

Arras is only a few miles from the belgian border and with the train going at up to 200mph speeds, it is more likely the attack happened on belgian soil. But that is all inmaterial. The train originating from Amsterdam also made stops in rotterdam, antwerpen and brussels (where the badguy got on). I am only glad it turned out this way and the marine was not mortally wounded.

His uniform is US Army. Other article from the daily mail in the UK said Skarlatos is a U.S. National Guard member.

When are we going to stop playing and get serious with these criminals? Enough already!

And this ^^^^^ is part of the problem, "these" are NOT "criminals", "these" are RELIGIOUS WARRIORS who want to impose their RELIGION, their CUSTOMS, their WAY OF LIFE UPON YOU and they will stop at nothing in that imposition. If the West does not realize that this is a FOR REAL WAR of NO QUARTER then the West WILL LOSE. And in a few dozen years the West will ALL be singing the praises of Allah.

Ohhh BTW there will be NO MORE LIBERALS nor CIVIL RIGHTS, nor HUMAN RIGHTS just the Laws Of Allah as imposed by the Sharia. The Liberals will either be singing out Allah Akbar when going to the Mosque 3 times a day or they will be DEAD, DEAD, DEAD.

Every person in the West, Liberal or otherwise should read the history about just how peaceful the religion of "peace" really is.

Now tell me it ain't so that Barrack's lineage did not include SLAVE TRADERS.

Don't PARF it up. Go start a thread there.

These guys definitely are my sort of hero.

speeder 08-21-2015 11:40 PM

Great guys but no Marines in that group. One Air Force, one Army NG and one civilian.

Awesome!

Lots of bravery here - I hope the guy that was injured makes a full recovery and they both get commendations!

+1 Big time bravery. I'm guessing they were unarmed too.

Though wish they had permanently maimed the scumbag. This way, he'd be suffering while in prison.

All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. This is literally just the sort of thing that US Marines were created to do. Takes some big brass balls to charge a guy with an AK with your bare hands.

Super balls for sure but there is an old saying, "You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only option", or something like that. :)

When you are staring death in the face, adrenaline kicks in and someone's going down.

Sure enough, here's one of them saying basically the same thing:

When I was their age and traveling around France, I always stayed in youth hostels to save money. I imagine they might soon find themselves in much nicer lodgings for a lot less money.

Yeah. I don't care if they're Army, Marines, or civilians, I'm just glad some Americans did a good deed over there. Heroes!!

I like how the French train employee was running away from the attacker while the American kids jumped in immediately and kicked the sh it out of the attacker.

I heard one passenger say the conductors all locked themselves in a room and left the passengers to fend for themselves.

Give the old Brit a bit of credit as well.

He may not have been first to the fight but he got their backs.

All three men have ties to Sacramento. Two of the three originally from Carmichael...
