Paris Police HQ knife attack

[Gormwood]

French broadcaster BFM TV said the attacker had converted to Islam 18 months ago.

Six pages in this topic, yet this little fact seems to have escaped people? Somehow I doubt this is a knife problem.

More calls to expel all Muslims in 3... 2... 1...

And I doubt that this is due to Islam since aside from that there is nothing else suggesting that is the case. It is a possibility but unless new facts come out it is just as likely the man was just mentally ill or was politically motivated. The point is we have no proof on the motivation of this man did this and it seems pretty dumb to be saying that it was this or that.

Tbh I'm waiting for English-language news sources (BBC) to make an update on the motive part, since it hasn't. That's why I'm refraining from posting in this thread before - to see what kind of motive that inspire this attack.

Anyway, condolences to the victims.

The man was deaf.

Guess it's time for knife control. You'll need a permit for a box cutter

France unlike the Authoritarian Isles isn’t going to ban knives. Also guns aren’t banned in France anyway. All this is going to do is increase the amount of police wearing body armor and carrying FAMAS

Quick reminder that the FAMAS is being replaced in the Armed Forces.

France has basically the same knife laws that the UK does...

The issue isn't really a lack of equipment, since it was a surprise attack from someone working there. So, maybe more security checks at the entrance?...

A blade doesn't have to be metal. Of course I forget the other material I have seen.

A full pat down doesn't make for a happy work environment.

Neither does an office turning into a crime scene.

It happens. Not always common but it happens.

Still I think you will see people get tired of full pat downs faster then the fear of a possible crime. Especially in a police department.

People control is a better solution.

I've worked in offices that were crime scenes.

Which frees up plenty of available FAMAS for the police.

Police Nationale isn’t the armed forces last time I checked

[Drongonia]

Funny that a criminal didn't abide by the law on two counts:

- You can't carry a knife like that
- And you certainly can't stab people!

Anyone generally calling for knife control as a result of this attack only has to look towards "Great" Britian to see what comes out of it... Two parts of frick all.

What we really need is restrictions on death. If you're legally not allowed to die, then hell, attacks like this won't be so successful.

France is about to have another state of emergency

Worn out and nigh irreplaceable.

[Ifreann]

I have to admit that being an American, my first thought is "how the fuck does a knife-wielding assailant even get off one stab without having 249 holes put in them in the next half-second?"

This applies in France too, have you seen the firepower they provide their cops?

What firepower do they provide their cops?

I work in a liquor store that's been a crime scene. Several times.

Break out the ye old M93s.

Well none of this would have happened if we banned people from killing each other.

The person ought to have been fired 18 months ago when he converted to Islam for being a security risk. France has fallen far in my view, since the days of Charles Martel. What happened to when the French under the Frankish kingdom knew what to do about invaders and traitors?

How exactly does one converting to Islam make them less fit for working as officer?

Also implying that all Muslims even ones born in France to legal immigrants are “traitors and invaders” is just a whole lot of yikes.

I'm sure that once a man converts to Islam, Allah sends down sticks of dynamite and tells them to blow themselves up.

There's a lot of yikes between that really dumb statement and whatever you said about France not being the Frankish Kingdom or whatever.

Imagine being so against one middle eastern religion, you reminisce over the good old days when Europeans worshipped another foreign religion from the near east.

If you really wanna be a white nationalist, be an odinist or pagan or something. Be authentically European in culture. Christianity is not european. It's as foreign to Europe as islam. And besides that point, why should being Muslim make one a security risk? Most Muslims are not terrorists and do not intend to be terrorists. This is not my opinion, this is a fact.
