Terror in Paris: Soldier fires at man attacking with machete, Louvre on lockdown!

[Deleted]

Still developing.

• Louvre evacuated after soldier 'fires at attacker'
• Man 'armed with machete shouted Allahu Akbar'
• Solider 'slightly wounded' in attack
• Interior ministry says incident 'serious'

Edit: apparently tried to rush the museum with a suitcase while doing so.

Muslim terrorist attacks soldier hoping to kill him before going on defenceless civilians, but gets shot.

Yeah, just like that Canadian mosque was attacked by a Moroccan shouting "Allah Akbar"

As long as no Christians died.

This. I mean they are completely different species apart from us good christians. Christians.

[Blobfish]

As long as the Mona Lisa is still smiling, everything is OK

German news reports the suitcases were empty, no explosives. It seems at this point that the dude really only had a knife-like weapon and attacked a soldier, which was the reason why he was shot. I don't think this was a proper terrorist attack. Just a madman.

Homosexual transsexual Muslim feminist Islamist you mean.

[ParanoiD84]

Nice clean kill.

nvm seem the attacker didnt die.

[Slant]

Um no, I meant madman.

I saw people getting infractions for jokes and mockery during the Canada attack thread.

But here it must be ok because ...a soldier was the target?

[Astalnar]

It's the religion of peace at work again.

It is OK because there are no innocent victims.

[DrMcNinja]

I wonder if he's from one of the countries which Trump put on lockdown.

[Elim Garak]

I have an unrelated but somewhat important question

Why is Louvre protected by SOLDIERS? What's up in France?

[TrumpIsPresident]

It is OK because there are no innocent victims.

Its SOP here.

When the attacker is Muslim or suspected to be Muslim the jokes fly because the goal is to break up the conversation a much as possible.

But if it turns out to be anything but those same people mocking the situation will be back to /angryfist it up.

Soldier seems like an innocent victim to me. He wasn't doing anything that would make him an aggressor.

Didnt you ear about charlie ebdo and bataclan killings by warguns, like 1 year ago? There is soldiers (and a lot of police) in the streets of Paris since those events.

I dunno, don't you have la police nationale for that? Soldiers are a bit too much, especially considering that they are not trained to do the job.
