France train shooting: President thanks 'heroes' who overpowered gunman

French President Francois Hollande has thanked three American men hailed as heroes for overpowering a heavily-armed gunman on a train in northern France.

The incident happened on the high-speed Thalys service near Arras. A 26-year-old Moroccan man was arrested.

One of the Americans said they took an AK-47 assault rifle and a handgun from the attacker as they saw him walk down the aisle of the train.

They then put him in a chokehold until he was unconscious.

"Spencer got to the guy first and grabbed the guy by the neck," Mr Skarlatos told Sky News.

"I grabbed the handgun, got that away from the guy and threw it. Then I grabbed the AK-47, which was at his feet, and started muzzle-bumping him in the head with it.

"Everybody just started beating the guy while Spencer held the chokehold until he went unconscious."

French authorities said three people were injured, two of them seriously - one with a gunshot wound, the other a knife wound.

In the interests of balance, it should be noted that French passengers also reacted to the incident quickly and with no thought for their own safety:

The passengers included French actor Jean-Hugues Anglade, the star of Betty Blue and Nikita, who was lightly wounded breaking glass to sound the alarm.

"Lafayette, we are here."

So much baiting in the OP, it hurts...

I'm just thankful Belgium has one of the strictest gun control policies in the world.

lol PS. even for you that's retarded. go run the stats

Breaking news: French muscle still not sufficient to get them a seat at the big boy table in European geopolitics

America:
CIA, FBI, NSA
The UK:
MI6, MI5, GCHQ
Russia:
FSB, SVR
France:
Chuck Letterman, retired Arizona highway patrolman, and his buddies

According to the Telegraph story, the Americans tackled him, the Brit provided assistance after being ordered by the Americans, the French ran away screaming, the Swiss passenger didn't get involved, a Spanish couple overslept and missed the train altogether, and the Dutch are providing the insurance coverage for the whole incident.

after 60 years of rehearsing this it' s good everyone remembered their places

You do remember one plane that never made it to it's target on 9/11 correct? Not very nice of you to belittle their actions....

The south will rise again! And own other people. Sigh.. if the south had won then the US would have a third world nation on its borders.

I watched the press conference and the big time American hero dude (the muscle) said pretty plainly that if the French guy hadn't attacked the attacker first, they wouldn't of had a chance (as in would've been dead). The word hero gets thrown around a lot here in the USA, and clearly these guys deserve it. But the way it's being spun here omg. I seriously had to tune into fox news after the press conference just to see their shit eating grins.

------On Aug.5th in the thread "Shooters"..I did remember...1 out of four....Why not action on the other three...Their plane still crashed...What target? The White House, a building nothing more. Well ,if you read my post. That's how the secret service feels I guess.(Because it took a bunch of people on the street to disarm a gunman,not them)... The terrorists were armed with box cutters(flight 23...when stopped 4 men got off the plane,left their items behind. I guess we don't screen/hold people either during a crisis. )...Took down 4 planes...
------My post was about 1 gunman vs people though. The jackass in S.C. reloaded 5 damn times.....JUST STOP IT ALREADY...WHAT THE HELL WERE PEOPLE DOING THE FIRST,SECOND etc.etc.. time he ran out of bullets...Tackle his ass...throw something at him....A bible/prayer book ,a cross..The pole you light/put out candles with...
------We,now a days sit back and wait for some one else to do something first...I'll tell you why, The American Legal System...Because if someone does decide to react... Chances are someone will find a way to sue... Even the person doing the crime...Will sue the good Samaritan ...the sad thing is...that person will most likely win...Thanks America(Today's) for turning us into a bunch of side liners...ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

the f*ck you talking about? you're a fucking clown.

Here in America, 9/11 plane does not need to make it to it's target

will you indeed? perhaps you'll be the first one shot. perhaps it will be your mother, your sister, your children. perhaps when the ammo is spent from the first semi-auto, he'l throw it away and pick up the next one, fully loaded, from where it's sitting for just such an eventuality.

one day you fuckwits are going to have to come to terms with your own stupidity.

Data can't aim very well. Perhaps he needs glasses.
