8

A man armed with a knife and barbecue fork – and claiming to be from Afghanistan – randomly attacked people at a metro station in Villeurbanne, a suburb of Lyon.

A knife rampage at a metro station in France has left a 19-year-old man dead and at least nine people injured.

Witnesses said a man armed with a knife and barbecue fork attacked several people at a bus stop in Villeurbanne, a suburb of Lyon.

Footage posted online shows hero witnesses detaining the knifeman at an outdoor lift at Laurent-Bonnevay station after he was chased.

One video shows the man tossing the knife and fork to the floor as he is confronted, while a second clip shows a passer-by attempting to restrain the man who is armed with a spit.

Gérard Collomb, the city mayor, went to the site and said:

“For the moment, we don’t know anything about his motivations. What is certain is that it was not a brawl, since he attacked passengers who were waiting for a bus in an undifferentiated way.»

Once again, a Jihadi lashes out killing and maiming non-Muslim citizens of the French/Vichy Republic. There is no question, this murderer of innocents will be deemed mentally unsound, suffering from culture-shock or merely a bona fide nutter. Macron and his partner, in murder and mayhem of non-Muslims, Merkel continue to aid and abet this Jihadi terrorism. They are choosing to ignore the security of the non-Muslim citizenry. They continue enabling, facilitating this bigoted, nihilistic cult feigning religiosity.

Knives illegal, forks too. Pretty soon we’ll all be eating with our fingers, which will suck when it’s time for soup or ice cream.

One major difference between God and Satan is that God believes in love and free will and Satan believes in control and evil!
