Good on the police there, one less.....

It's the 1 year anniversary of Charlie Hebdo isn't it?

[retrocop]

I would imagine a terrorist wished to commemorate his terrorist mates who were judicially killed by Paris police on the anniversary of the slaughter of the innocents. If facts are true he wished to blow up the flic's nick!! Obviously plenty more about in Europe !!

Will not do again will he, good result & well done the French Police.

If it had been here then the Policeman would be suspended and facing arrest for Murder.

Just another day, in the calender of the peaceful Islamic religion.

I assume thinking that the knife weilder is wearing suicide vest must be a precautionary measure they have to take.

But if he does have a suicide vest on, why would he attract attention to himself before he reaches his target by carrying a visible knife?

------------------
Because, as a result of religious fervour he was in all probability madder than a d!ckless dog.

[youngmafbog]

Yep, I doubt he was the sharpest knife on the drawer to start with.

[TWR]

It's just a shame that he went on his own, It would have been a jackpot if another dozen went with him.

He wasn't likely to do too much arm with a fake suicide vest (reports say that is what it is)

///The man shouted "Allah Akbar" and was wearing a fake suicide belt, according to reports///.

[ChillDoubt]

Fake suicide vest? Oh, the Police were supposed to realise it was fake as he approached them with a knife in hand? Seriously?
Anyone considering such actions on this particular anniversary is obviously not playing with a full deck and deserves to be removed from the gene pool with extreme prejudice!

[retrocop]

Then he could of been a bigger over zealous nut case and wanted death by cop so he could meet his vestil virgins sooner.Hence displaying the knife and posing a threat???
All a bit sketchy at the moment and not a lot of facts have yet emerged.

That's rather unfair, all female dogs aren't the same.

[ChillDoubt]

For you Talbot, as you're the one posing the questions.
Can I ask one of my own? Did the events in Paris 2 months ago escape your attention?

[-Talbot-]

Not much escapes my attention, Chill ... hence my post at 12:38

''But if he does have a suicide vest on, why would he attract attention to himself before he reaches his target by carrying a visible knife?''

Rather astute on my part I think!

I was thinking along those lines when I read he was waving a knife about, retro

[retrocop]

I thought female canines were called bi**hes. ? :-)
