US Marines take down terrorist with an AK-47 in France barehanded

[HitandRun Reggie]

But not before he shot 3 people including one American and a Brit. Terrorist is of "North African origin" but no motive has been established yet.

I didn't click the link because I wanted the guess the gunman....

was he a Muslim?

[Hawker]

America! (**** Yeah) Coming along to save the motha****in' day yeah!

[HitandRun Reggie]

Doesn't say, but probably. :oldlol:

Another interesting thing is that the passenger who sounded the alarm of man with a gun before he started shooting is Jean-Hugues Anglade, one of the main actors along side Van Damme in Maximum Risk http://cdn.moviestillsdb.com/sm/4fcbaa32d8b4eb5f9c31e9efb52b075a/maximum-risk.jpg

Sounds a little conflicting with the report that the Marines started rushing the guy when they heard the distinctive metallic sound of magazine being popped into a rifle but couldn't get to him before he started firing off a few rounds.

[HitandRun Reggie]

French Interior Minister pays tribute to the Marines.

"Thanks to them we have averted a drama.

(The Americans were) particularly courageous and showed extreme bravery in extremely difficult circumstances."

Agenda exposed. This guy doesn't even know the full facts but he's already blowing his load over the likely possibility it fits his agenda. Not that you do anything but post links anyway :banana:

In my initial post I said no motive was given. The guy is North African and a terrorist, only an idiot would argue against the odds of him being Muslim. He could be anything we will see, but stop trying to turn things around with this "agenda" crap. Muslims are more prone to terrorism than any other demographic except for maybe animal rights activists. Deal with it.

the guy was morrocan and had been on intelligence radar. the marines stopped him when he tried to reload his ak47

I couldn't care less. I am not responsible for lunatics that I have never nor could I have ever had an effect of educating and guiding towards peaceful reform. Well, at least in this case. I don't know any violent Muslims because everyone appreciates the freedom that 'Murica provides :rockon: Situation is different in France because of the way they treat the Muslims there though.

[HitandRun Reggie]

One of the persons critically injured was one of the two Marines who "neutralized the extremely violent passenger". :(

The Interior Minister of France has reiterated that without the bravery by these 2 Marines, the tragedy would have been much worse and he sends his utmost gratitude on behalf of himself, the French prime minister and the passengers to these two "brave" Marines. The link in the OP is being continuously updated.

You do realize that using an AK is not barehanded, right?

There was not enough space for commas in the title. Figure it out

I took it as the marine was barehanded and the terrorist had an ak-47.

[nathanjizzle]

they heard him loading up the magazine in the bathroom :lol :bowdown:

[UK2K]

Mother ****ing right.

[HitandRun Reggie]

they heard him loading up the magazine in the bathroom :lol :bowdown:

Yeah but unfortunately it appears he also had a pistol and was able to draw it after the Marines interrupted him loading his rifle. If he had got the rifle out it would have been like shooting fish in a barrel in the confined space of the train, and we would be looking at mass casualties.

God I love Americans!

I know every one of us Americans on here would do the same. After seeing all those helpless Chinese when they're own kind are in danger...its good to know Americans will always have that helping DNA embedded in us.

It has to be something in our fresh rivers.

The Chinese can't build shit. They got people falling through and being chewed up by escalators. They eat anything that has a pulse. Mexicans don't want to be in Mexico. Great Britain is being overrun by non-assimilated Muslims and Australia has kangaroos on steroids that bully people on their way home.

It's good to be an American.

As per dailymail article:

The man was armed with a deadly Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle

CNN confirming he was indeed an Islamist militant, with known sympathies to ISIS but it's still unclear what group, if any, sent him on this "mission".

Here are the heroes:

http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/410/cpsprodpb/1815C/production/_85125689_croppic.gif

From left to right: Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, Spencer Stone

Video footage of the aftermath:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQtCffXCvwk

So todays reports(yesterday there was a lot of confusion and misinformation from the media) seem to basically say Stone charged the guy and wrestled him to the ground, getting injured in the process. Skarlatos immediately grabbed the guys weapon and took up guard against additional terrorists and Sadler jumped on top of the terrorist and literally beat him unconscious. :oldlol:

Like a well oiled machine.

Sadler's account

"We heard a gunshot, and we heard glass breaking behind us, and saw a train employee sprint past us down the aisle,” Sadler told the AP.


Then they spotted a gunman entering the train car with an automatic rifle.
“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 the 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.”

The Americans and a Brit were awarded the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest honor for bravery today.

Sounded kinda odd at first... But I knew something was up.

If it were Marines on that train, they'd have killed him.

Yep. Spencer was Air Force. Skarlatos was with the Oregon National Guard returning from Afghanistan. And Sadler was a college student.
