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.

Ohhh BTW there will be NO MORE LIBERALS nor CIVIL RIGHTS, nor HUMAN RIGHTS just the Laws Of Allah as imposed by the Sharia.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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...
