3 US Marines take down gunman firing AK-47 on train in France.

Does the guy on the right really have his pen in his mouth? First time on a crime scene, rook? Why don't you just lick the corpse?

Someone run this through Google translate and send it to him: hands touch nasty stuff, hands touch pen, pen touches mouth, mouth touches nasty stuff.

Cigarette maybe?

 

[BehindBlueI's]

I'm on it!
He could be writing with the pen in his mouth and never touch it with his hands though.
Maybe that's a technique you can learn.

....I got nothing for that. If you'll eat a snail, you're beyond reasoning so I'll admit its quite possible.

Doesn't look like he has gloves on. Maybe he's just the bag-boy.

Yeah, still.

Part of the train perhaps? I think you say "Garde pour la Main"?

Maybe. Sort of like those "be careful where you eat a corn dog" pictures.

Cigarette maybe?

That was my first thought, but it seems silver, metallic, and too long. Maybe the French went that route with tobacco?

Folks, Please!!!

It's France, he's smoking a cigarette.

The Europeans are wimpy on certain fronts, but they aren't afraid to whistle at hot looking chics or smoke a cigarette in public.

If it's not a cigarette, then a vaporizer.

I don't get it. Americans kick A**, get some good press for once, and all anyone worries about is, "Hey ya'll, what's that Frenchie got in 'is mouth?" This could get as bad as the Jared Fogel thread where more people worried about the hot FBI agent than the story.

PS - Does anyone have her contact information yet?

Well, we covered illiteracy in the USMC early on, so this is the next logical step.

CNN now two reports it was one Air Force, one inactive National Guard, and one civilian.

An Airman, A Army Guardsman and US Citizen walk onto a European train...



and take down a crazed AK-47 wielding terrorist... bare handed.

Airman Stone was just released from the hospital, I love stories with a happy ending!

If not for these three childhood friends, hundreds would have likely been killed.
An Airman, a National Guardsman and US Citizen walk onto a train.. and kick ass

 

[foszoe]

I think there is a thread going already but I admit you gave the coolest title

 

[KellyinAvon]

It is OUTSTANDING to hear the young Blue-Suiter was released from the hospital. None of these guys should ever have to buy a drink again, EVER.

 

[oldpink]

Recognition
My Way News - 3 Americans praised for subduing gunman on European train

That must have been incredibly satisfying.

....Or pay taxes.......All taxes......World wide.

YES, I heard that on the radio, today ..... I had a lot of friends, in the INARNG, that served in Iraq, Bosnia, Afgahanistan, and other places,

Who were former all kinds of Active Duty .....

 

[KellyinAvon]

These guys don't have to buy a drink again EVER!!

Also a fourth one, a French train driver, grabbed the suspect.
A British citizen also helped plus from what I understand a fourth American (a dual French and American national) who was shot during the fight.

All those 6 passengers will meet the French president on Monday.

 

[Sylvain]

Also all the 2 wounded Americans got out of the hospital today.

Am I the only one that wants to know what kind of AK it was?

 

[87iroc]

I read this and was very happy to hear our boys saved the day...even if they had help. I'm glad they gave the momentum to respond.

Sadly...my 2nd thought after hearing the news was....Will Obama praise the US Armed Forces members for thwarting a terror attack?...wow, he already has...I stand corrected. Nice



The next thought was how long before it quickly gets forgotten here...as after all, these types of things only happen in the US.

 

[oldpink]

Am I the only one that wants to know what kind of AK it was?

According to the heroes who stopped the terrorist, they thumped his head repeatedly with the muzzle of it, so I'd call it an Ass Kicker.

 

[miguel]

'I grabbed the AK and started muzzle thumping him in the head,' Alek Skarlatos said.

Mr Skarlatos added: "We just did what we had to do. You either run away or fight. We chose to fight and got lucky and didn't die."

What in the hell is muzzle thumping!

France train shooting: US soldiers speak of the moment they stopped gunman and 'beat him until he was unconscious' - Europe - World - The Independent

p.s. Three people were injured in the attack, including a French actor who is believed to have hurt himself as he sounded the alarm. How?
