Shooting incident at Louvre in Paris

Was in France at the New Year and saw soldiers patrolling the cities (Poitiers and Lille though not Paris). Those boys looked like proper hard *******, not the sort of chaps you'd want to mess with. Seems like the soldier only suffered light wounds and everyone else is ok, which is the main thing.

This will be used by recruiting sergeants to further radicalize right-wing extremists and to demonstrate that Muslims hate the west. After decades of terrorism surely Islam must do more to stop this cycle of violence?

I tend to stay away from the whole muslim debate because of all the misinformation, bias and blatant lies but one thing that crossed my mind is how there have been so many terrorist attacks over the years and the muslim community has shown such little interest, yet now Trump is trying to block entry suddenly there are marches and protests everywhere.

This hasn't affected my opinions, merely just food for thought. I'm not educated enough on the matter (by choice) to make judgement calls but I do wonder some times.

There have always been protests and marches. Only advertised currently because it supports the current headlines of Trump's recent actions.

Weird incident. He had two rucksacks and a suitcase which is why he wasnt allowed to enter and stopped by the guard. That's when he drew a machete and went for the guard who then shot him.

No report of explosives found.

Looks like the guy just went nuts when his entry was blocked as he had too much luggage?

Because an entirely rational reaction to being legitimately refused access is to pull out your handy machete and attack an armed soldier?!
