Thank goodness for people like that

Speedy recovery to those who got injured by that scumbag.
As for the scumbag I hope it's a one way ticket into a locker never to be released again.

Have read about it in a local newspaper, and on the 'net.

Salute to the USMC!

edit: For what i now read there was one USMC member, a US national guard member, and a civilian englishman (?)
Salute to all of them !

A German report says it were actually three, an Airforce member, a non active national guard member and a civilian.

There does seem to be a lot of conflicting reports about who did what, but from what I can piece together, a Frenchman tried to subdue him first, then the American men quickly got in and used their training to take the gunman down, and the Brit businessman joined in after to assist.
Regardless it's a fantastic effort by all of them, and a sign that we will not take this kind of action lying down.

You only need one to take the initiative.
The rest will follow.
That's how you combat terrorism. By showing you're not affraid and when one is not affraid the rest loose their fear.
Too bad we're governed by fear mongers expcept courage givers.
