News Staff : Aug 24, 2015 : CBN News

"Do something. Hiding, or sitting back, is not going to accomplish anything. And the gunman would've been successful if my friend Spencer had not gotten up. So I just want that lesson to be learned going forward, in times of, like, terror like that, please do something. Don't just stand by and watch." -Anthony Sadler

"Here are four men who with the help of others acted not just to save their own lives but who also came to help others and saved the lives of others," NBC News quoted the French president.

"You risked your lives to defend an ideal, the ideal of liberty and freedom," Hollande said.

Anthony Sadler, Spencer Stone and Alek Skarlator, all members of the U.S. military, have been friends since childhood.

"Alek just hit me on the shoulder and said, 'Let's go' and ran down, tackled him," U.S. airman Spencer Stone recalled. "We hit the ground. Alek came up and grabbed the gun out of his hand. I put him in a chokehold. It seemed like he just kept pulling more weapons left and right."

British businessman Chris Norman, 62, jumped in and used his necktie to help subdue the attacker.

The gunman, Ayoub el-Khazzani, 26, is on a watch list for a possible visit to Syria earlier this year. A Moroccan citizen, he's suspected of ties to Islamic extremists. But the gunman's attorney says he's just a homeless man who was trying to rob the train because he was hungry.

Europe should braze themselves in anticipation of more of these kind of terrorist attacks with the influx of migrants from Islamic nations.

Is this the only comment you can make after reading about a failed terror attack by your fellow islamist? Obviously you are pained your cult is being exposed. Death to islam

Demmzy15:
This man acted alone, he's actions cannot be attributed to Islam. More than 4.5 million Muslims live in France without them being a threat, yet you attribute the actions on some few miscreants to Islam. That's not fair grandpa!

OLAADEGBU:


Did you hear that the terrorist's mobile phone was found on the train and that he had been watching a Jihad videoclip before he attempted to unleash terror on the train? Did you say Muslims are not a threat in France? You are either ignorant or you are deliberately denying the facts.
