ISIS attack in France

| June 26, 2015

air products attack

Offices of the American company Air Products were attacked by two ISIS supporters. They beheaded one victim and placed the head on a fence post with graffiti written on it. From Sky News;

Two other people were hurt in explosions at the factory, French President Francois Hollande said.

The blasts were triggered when two attackers deliberately crashed a car into gas canisters, according to police.

A 30-year-old man had been arrested. He was known to foreign intelligence services since 2008, officials said.

From Fox News;

[A] man walked into the company’s offices saying he was a member of ISIS and carrying one of the terror group’s flags. After beheading a man at the company’s entrance, he went into the building and set off several gas canisters.

One of the attackers was arrested, and local media reported that the man was known to authorities. The status of the second attacker was not known, though Le Parisien newspaper reported that person was killed.

This “known to police” thing is starting to be a little too common.

“This “known to police” thing is starting to be a little too common.”

Kinda reminds you of a certain DMF in Texas a little while back; eh?

‘known to police’ – I think it’s time the Froggies learned a bit of home and self defense.

Sticking a head on a pike outside the gate of a city or a business is so medieval. Was that to warn the US or La France?

I’m concerned that we’re so laid back here that it could happen… oh, wait, it has. Just no heads on pikes.

Self-defense has been bred out of the Europeans, and their laws reinforce it.

No one is so blind as a man who will not see. If a head on a spike doesn’t wake them up, nothing will. They might as well lay down and start composting, because they’re DONE.

If France hade gun control this could have been prevented.

Whoever killed the second attacker will probably be charged with murder, “hate crimes,” etc…by the French, the EU, and the UN.

These attacks won’t stop here, once they start happening on US soil on a regular basis we will see just how resolved those who think it’s okay to keep letting all muslims cross the border really feel.

How soon will the White House issue a strongly worded letter condemning this incident of workplace violence?

“A 30-year-old man had been arrested. He was known to foreign intelligence services since 2008, officials said.”

I’m sure that’s comforting to know, especially for the headless guy and his family.

No worries.

Inspector Clouseau is on the case.

Which flag do we need to ban in order to put an end to this shit?

This article says that someone was caught.

Of course, since it comes from MSN, I don’t know how accurate it is.

Aux armes, les citoyens!

Did you guys see that IS blew themselves up at a Shiite Mosque in Kuwait City? http://tinyurl.com/o7cgsdq

I never felt the love from the Kuwaiti’s, or the Qatari’s for that matter. I wonder if they will become our best friends again.

But he should have been with the ISIS encounter group with his socialism workers singing songs and eating cookies, cupcakes and donuts.

Maybe this was a protest over a lack of jobs for ISIS compatriots or whatever .

And in other news, Obama’s statement of, “It doesn’t happen in other civilized countries” is blown to shit yet again:

But this is not the same thing AT ALL! When ideologically disgruntled sickos open fire on people who in some marginal way disagree with their biased world view, it is ENTIRELY different in France, Sweden, Iraq, Libya, China, or wherever, than it is here. ENTIRELY different. Our guy was white!

Pinto Nag

Wait, what?! You mean the terrorists don’t listen to our President? Color me shocked!

And CNN and all the other media outlets are clogging their front pages with the new Supreme Court rulings and not even MENTIONING an attack on an American company overseas resulting in beheadings. That got me worked up and I’m supposed to be a tranquil tender little flower this week for health reasons (yeah, as you might have guessed from the name I use here, that doesn’t come naturally at the best of times).

Goshdarnit, people, why do they all have to be so stupid…

According to the 0bamites, all it would take is for him to get a nice $15 an hour job and this wouldn’t have happened, it would all be one huge song of ‘Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy” and “Kum-ba-yah” with plenty of Kool-Aid and group hugs. Yeah, and I was the thirteenth POTUS! /sarc

Perhaps the head came from the second terrorist. When a suicide vest is detonated the first thing that happens is the head of the wearer is popped off the body like a champagne cork. The torso is destroyed but the head and limbs are often recovered. Perhaps the ISIS writing cited was the jihadis headband. We can only hope.

It turns out that the head in question belonged to the owner of the trucking company one of the attackers worked for. It sounds like he killed his boss so as to steal the truck used in the attack. The trucking company had a contract with the plant to make deliveries and pickups there. So the jihadi had a job and used it facilitate a terror attack. I think this might be a good time for France to rethink its policies on Islamic immigration.
