Terrorist taken down by Americans was no terrorist, attorney says

Posted by David Hardy · 23 August 2015 10:41 PM

Rather, he was just a homeless guy hoping to stick up train passengers for food money. Exactly how a homeless guy would have acquired an AK-47 and a lot of ammo for it is not explained. Heck, at current ammo prices he could have dined on steak and lobster for what he invested in 7.62x39.

Yeah terrorists oops homeless people don't think like that. Spends hundreds on ammo to rope people for their pocket change to buy a burger.

I cannot believe why people do not see this for what it really is - a bunch of American schoolyard bullies beating up a homeless man for his lunch money. [/sarcasm]

stay safe.

That'll be Team Obama's attitude. Bet those three young men get nothing on their USA return.

Whats the name of the accused's lawyer that came up with that whopper?

Lawyer's name is reported to be Sophie David. Lawyers are supposed to make up stories, even if they seem to come from an alternate universe, to explain why you didn't really see what you think you saw. That's why many people, quite properly, don't trust anything that comes out of a lawyer's mouth. (I'm a retired lawyer, so I'm allowed to say that.)

I heard that he was just trying to get enough money to buy food for the bible study class that he was sponsoring and teaching.

Well, it looks like the perversity of the French in awarding the Legion of Honor to all 4 involved has put parts of the .mil between a rock and a hard place. Airman Stone's unit plans to recommend him (but only after he returns to his unit) for the Airman Medal, and the Pentagon is saying that if the French classify the incident as terrorism both the AF and NG guys could be eligible for Purple Hearts.

What is still glaringly lacking is the involvement of the Commander in Chief.

stay safe.

He found an abandoned suitcase. In it was an AK-47. So he decided he wanted to be a 21st century Jessie James and rob the train. Nothing to see here folks, move along.
Now I am off to buy a bridge.
