You are the worst thread starter ever...
But so people don't have to guess, Frags is talking about the train-shootings in France.
And hell yes, seems like some USMC guys overmanned the shooter and saved countless lives... My dad used to take the same train weekly, so it'll be buying the next USMC I meet a shot on me :)
So, how does a random guy end up walking around with an AK-47, revolver, combat knife and enough ammo to shoot a whole train?
Guess?Quote:

I think we are pretty fortunate this is the first time someone has tried to massacre a train. In the Netherlands, where I live, nobody checks the trains for gun-wielding people like this guy. It must be very easy to just board a train with a couple of guns and shoot everyone up.
Good job on the marines being there and acting, since this could have ended much worse.
Guns are new but there have been a couple of train bombings during 7/7.
Actually it wasnt US Marines, it was a member of the US Air Force and the National Guard. Plus another civilian.
The same is true for roads. There should be people checking people when they leave their homes.Quote:

500 French they said. What were they doing? 500 French men, three Americans, and one Brit. The Americans and Brits all charge, and the French...stand in fear?...run in fear? What?
Well it could be true, there is a lively trade in AK's in Brussels and they are often dropped in parks to be picked up. Having nine mags kinda makes it, well.... kinda kinda....
"three Americans, and one Brit." Deleted. Not worth of an answer.

Actually, the articles do talk about how the French reacted. A Frenchman and a French-American were the first to fight the gunman. They were wounded. A French actor in an adjoining car cut his hand badly while activating the emergency brake during the fistfight, after which he moved to protect his partner and children. The French train employees fled into the engine car and locked themselves in as soon as the gunman first revealed himself.
Also, there were about 500 people on the entire train. I don't think you are one of those who believe in monogender or gender neutrality. And speaking of cars, trains are subdivided into cars, meaning that most of the people who were capable of resisting at the scene did in fact resist, assuming there were not more than say 50 people in the one car.

He is not interested in truth or reality, only by his prejudices. "500 people" in a car gives you an inside of his process of what could be link with thinking...
Not each, every three or so. I always take the Thalys if I go to Paris as I am afraid of hights, so I don't fly.Quote:

Actually it is... Cultures DO exist. You can shy away from it all you want, but that's life :shrug:Quote:

The first guy who ran (the one still in hospital) was 100% surely sure he would be injured or killed, but it was worth it for him, as otherwise more people would come to harm.
You DO NOT, I repeat, you do NOT run towards a guy with an assault rifle and knife out to kill expecting not to be hurt, badly damaged, or killed. However, if 3 people run towards, it saves as many lives as the terrorist has time and ammunition and means for.
I do not think I can ever be accused of being an US fan boy... But let's face it, they have at least done SOMETHING right.
I can only answer for me, but... Enough.Quote:

Vuk actually brings up a point... I always wondered why people flee like cattle when faced with violence. I can honestly say my reaction would have been the same as Spencers, sometimes you have to take one for the team.
*and he did it ABROAD*
Violence must be FOUGHT, not shied away from.
Stupid cattle, if at least they could vote right we wouldn't have as much problems with predators :(
All what Vuk and you wrote is crap and you know it.:laugh4:
And that why the 3 US and 1 GB (one of them being half French apparently, but is now only US or Brits) are heroes.
"America and the Brits has obviously fostered a culture where they even abroad don't hesitate to run towards a guy with an assault rifle." So stupid comment, no need to dig... Like in Tunisia and in USA you mean?
"A Frenchman and a French-American were the first to fight the gunman. They were wounded." Do you know to read, or you prejudices make you jump the line?
Didn't notice during the Tunis massacre that Vuk or you saying the dead from UK were cowards as none of the British in holidays tried to stop the killer, nor when some lunatic in USA open fire in schools or super markets, the public reaction is to escape.
This is apparently reserved to French. So it b**** S****.
And until Vuk displays his of course impressive actions during war time I will not consider his prejudices as valid. To have completed the entire Call of Duty series is not having completed your Tour of Duty.
And to be frank, even if Vuk or you were the most impressive warriors of all the time, that still won't allow you to judge any person fleeing a killer, French or not.
The stupidity to assume than in a train going from Brussels to Paris was full of only 3 USA, 1 British and all the rest being French is absolute.
The stupidity to even assume that every one was aware of what happen is absolute.
The stupidity to assume that courage is due to nationality is absolute.
With all due respect Brenus (and your replies garner little), what does it matter if I have fought in a war or not??
Does that mean that I cannot look at facts and arrive at correct conclusions? Is logic something mystically handed down to you by Odin in the midst of combat?
Don't tell me that I do not have a right to an opinion because you disagree. What can I say...that is very French of you. "That person disagrees with us! Send them to the guillotine!"
Of course there are people who have served and have not served who arrive at each of our conclusions, so your point is invalid.
Yes, people will run from danger in every Country (as the US becomes more like France and feminizes and disarms, it happens here even more), but a crew who is tasked with the safety of the passengers would never have ran without alerting someone in the US.
It still stands that there were many more French than Americans and the percentage of Americans who responded to the percentage of French who responded speaks hugely about the culture of the two countries.
Frances entire history in the last 100 years backs this point up even more.

"Frances entire history in the last 100 years backs this point up even more." 1,600,000 killed during WW1 to defend the country.
And I agree. I shouldn't mention the fact I have experience in war.
The fact your entire argument is stupid and has absolutely no grounds is largely enough.
Brenus, I AM aware that most people run.
That however doesn't mean I would, nor do I think it's logical, nor will it stop me from seeing them as cattle.
Still doesn't explain why the train personnel locked themselves into a room without doing **** to help though. You don't need to be a hero to do that, doing your job would have been sufficient.
EDIT: Note that I nowhere trashed "The French"... Don't mistake me for Vuk.
Also, the way you quote still sucks... Can it be THAT hard to use the "quote function". It was like you were attacking me AND Vuk and it was for a newcomer impossible to understand who said what.
Feel free to attack my arguments, but don't mistake them for other people's...
Probably, fighting off armed attackers isn't in their job description. In all likelihood their procedure in such events was followed to the letter here.Quote:

Police officers, on the other hand...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maksim...stabbing_spreeQuote:
According to some reports,[7] Gelman started banging on the door of a motorman's cab, demanding to be let in, at which point two police officers assigned to the manhunt arrived and subdued him after a struggle with Lozito's help. However, other accounts[10][11] stated that Lozito engaged in a physical confrontation that subdued Gelman, while officers Terrance Howell and Tamara Taylor hid in the motorman's cab, and did not come out until Lozito had disarmed Gelman and pinned him on the ground.[7][10]
[...]
In the spring of 2012, Joseph Lozito, who was brutally stabbed and "grievously wounded, deeply slashed around the head and neck", sued police for negligence in failing to render assistance to him as he was being attacked by Gelman.[19][20][21] Lozito told reporters that he decided to file the lawsuit after learning from "a grand-jury member" that NYPD officer Terrance Howell testified that he hid from Gelman before and while Lozito was being attacked because Howell thought Gelman had a gun.[22][23] In response to the suit, attorneys for the City of New York argued that police had no duty to protect Lozito or any other person from Gelman.[22] On July 25, 2013, Judge Margaret Chan dismissed Lozito's suit; stating while sympathetic to the Lozito's account and not doubting his testimony, agreed that police had "no special duty" to protect Lozito.[
Let's be honest here, when someone attacks civilian targets in a crowded public space, it will just as likely be private citizens who have to subdue them than either government agents or commercial security personnel. It's cheaper to offload the actual burden on the civilians - it's why the whole War on Terror has spent so many billions on guarding against non-existent threats; that way the contracts keep flowing, everyone gets paid, and no worries...
IIRC That train have wagons with "compartments" as well, not just open ones...Quote:

"Well sheer panic tends to cloud judgement and all rational thinking for most people I imagine in situations like this." It is due to training. The French guy who first try was injured as he try to protect his family. The US soldiers had training and time to think. They were able to see a jammed weapon, so they took the right decision.

"This comes from a guy who proclaimed he has been to 3 wars, but the first time questioned about it then back stepped and explained he wasn't in arms. He was, like, just there...

I went in 3 war, which give a good view how brutal the thing is.
How do you thing I've got injured? In sitting behind my keyboard? I was not just there. I volunteer to go to help refugees to survive winter and war, when the "armed" soldiers were just sitting in their bunkers.
:laugh4: You really think I din't see you coming? Poor, poor. poor old Kadagar... Your world is so narrow... I was hoping to be wrong, to be fair. But no, you are who/what you look to be...
Now, tell me in what my 3 wars differ from what you consider a normal way to do to war? Well, except the fact I was unarmed... Are the bullets different? Or the bombs, perhaps? Or to go in valley that could be a death trap?

The French have traditionally needed Englishmen on the scene in order to overcome adversity in France. Of course, most of the time we were the adversity that they were overcoming, but that's beside the point.Quote:

A little bit of reading and the pictures I posted in the past would save you from humiliation...
"The fact you crumbled when questioned?" Huh? When? You ask the 3 wars I went in, I told you. Then, as your world is narrow, you assume it was as soldier which I corrected. You still didn't tell what difference it would made as war experience to be a humanitarian, but didn't expect that much.
I am proud to have been in Humanitarian help. It is not lesser than to be soldier. As I said I was both.
So to summary:
You are telling that I am a liar for:
- Having being a professional Soldier: Yes-No. If you tick yes, I will post pictures and I will demand full apologies.
- I went in 3 wars: Yes-No. If you tick yes, I will post pictures,and I will demand full apologies
- I was injured in a war: Yes-No. If you tick yes, you know what will happened.
Are you doing it?
"Sorry mate, but you can not claim things around issues close to my heart, and then fold first time you are called." Chiche? In French in the text. Do it. If you dare. You are good in insults, I want to see if you are good in apologies. Come on...
"Sorry mate, that first Frenchman was an American to. Put that in your pipe and do something with it, mate"

Millions of U.S. travelers flood the city of Paris every year to walk the romantic cobblestone streets of the Latin Quarter, kiss on the pedestrian bridges over the River Seine, marvel at the Gothic facade of old Notre Dame, or ride the elevator up the elegant iron legs of the Eiffel Tower for a grandstand view of the City of Light. And then, of course, there's the food… whether it's nibbling a fresh baguette from a riverside bakery or tucking into steak béarnaise at a tiny Montmartre bistro, everything tastes better in Paris.
The first person was the anonymous Frenchman, but we don't know wether he was injured or not. The guy who got wounded trying to protect his wife was a French-American teacher.Quote:

The closest thing I've had like this is stanging up to a drunk fat hunter who barged into our cabin while celebrating. Was with school mates, partying for prom (we do a lot of that here). He walked in with a loaded dobule-barreled shotgun, apparently with teh genius idea of scaring some kids and showing off.
I'm usually afraid to pick a fight but then I guess I was simply too stupid or too angry, I walked up to him, grabbed the gun and shoved it away from us, making it point at the wall, and I stood right in his face.
As the situation was defused by the girls, we calmed down adn he even let me fire it outside. It is not a memeory I'm particularly proud of, someone could have died ffs.
