    Read my comment on previous articles of attack the day before I write this will happen again soon. There you go France! I assume this guy also was a lone wolf depressed individual who only yelled alah akbar “to give himself encouragement” ?

    The basic issue is how France and the rest of Europe deals with this without sinking into fascism.

    Notice how widespread these “lone wolf” attacks are. This is part of a new strategy which is manifest widely in numerous countries, including the US now. Of course, the media and politicians will continue their brain-numbed mantra of “Islam means piece”. How stupid do they think we are? Attention media that read these posts: We don’t believe you. You lie.

    To the terrorist: Please refer to the “terrorist manual”. It says after attack, and while yelling Allah Akhbar; jump out & stab the “infidels”, not yourself! Were you chewing gum at the same time? Was yelling AKHBAR confusing you? Did you practice?
