    This is a great argument for gun control.

    Two hands are important not only for target acquisition but reacquisition as well.

    Congratulations on your marksmanship.

    TWIMC...

    Here El Think... writing from his Christmas Ligurian coastal hideout somewhere between Genova and La Spezia...

    MercoPress article says...:
    ”It was also reported that when he pulled his gun on the Italian police Amri yelled “ALLAHU AKBAR” (God is greatest).“

    My Italian National News Pusher reports...:
    ”Quando l'hanno fermato ha urlato “POLIZIOTTI BASTARDI” (Law enforcement officers..., sons of unmarried women ;-)

    He got off lightly.

    24 years old, and his life dedicated to hate and waste. No future anyway.

    there is not an adrenaline high that can be matched to killing your enemy, nothing. However, I sure would have liked to know why that drone ran to Italy. A nest in Italy? Are there next? He got there relatively fast. Then again, maybe he is just another lone wolf nut......who knows.

    If indeed he was responsible Pops...
    It was rather convenient that papers were left in the cab belonging to him...
    Who would do that...steal a truck, commit an atrocity, then leave papers incriminating yourself...?

    A valid point as well, both going to the question......“why kill him, and bury potential answers to important questions”?

    There's a time to kill and a time to wound. However, that's easy to Monday morning QB. Once bullets start flying, the heart rate, adrenaline, everything in the body goes into overdrive. Still, he was needed alive. If he was the trigger, all they did was martyr him. If you really want to kill a radical, you need to desecrate his body, otherwise these nut jobs believe he is going t heaven. Of course, the leaders know better which is they recruit the ignorant and why leaders almost never martyr themselves.
