On the flip side, the normal white dudes that used to shoot up schools and their workplaces seemed to have stopped, because most of them are insanely racist and I think they're honestly scared of "looking like an Islamic terrorist" in their mass murder. So good job, Jihadists, you've ruined mass shootings for white guys.

This incident is a pretty good object lesson in the silliness of treating "terrorism" like it's one thing with one meaning. The guy was a homeless lunatic who posted a bunch of rambling nonsense about white devils on Facebook. The imam of the Fresno mosque had no idea who the guy was and it was obvious that he wasn't a Muslim in any strict sense of the word, though he clearly seems to have identified as one to some degree. But some of his FB posts were rambling mishmash about African religions and miscellaneous vaguely African occult stuff. There was one picture where he had some kind of Egyptian amulet strapped to his forehead because of course why not.

Point being, to talk about this incident in the same breath as attacks by a coordinated global well-organized jihadist group (or the trainees thereof) is... flawed. The Fresno incident is the kind of "terrorism" that just can't be stopped. This was just a total lunatic and a gun. Even gun control laws (which I'm a believer in) wouldn't do much here, because the guy was a convicted felon and under CA law didn't have the right to buy or own a gun in the first place. Sad truth is this kinda poo poo is just going to keep happening and there's nothing we can really do. Pre-9/11 we just called it "going postal," now guys who would have gone postal in 1996 yell ALLAHU AKBAR when they go off the deep end and, viola, terrorism.

The best way to think about Fresno is to imagine that it is Texas. It is certainly the Texasiest part of California. Also, Downtown is a bad area, so it's virtually assured that plenty of armed people were nearby.

Guys guys. It's not racism if you don't think your race is superior. General hatred of other races doesn't fall into this strict definition. You have to have a superiority complex. Thus, not racism :smuggo:

hmm.

quote:

A man opened fire on police on Thursday night on the Champs-Élysées and was killed by return fire, a police source told Reuters.

Pierre-Henry Brandet of the French interior ministry said the attacker had driven up to the site of the attack by car. He got out of the car and used an automatic weapon to fire on a police van.

The attacker killed one police officer and seriously wounded two other officers, said Brandet. He tried to fire at others as he ran off before being shot dead by police.

The Paris anti-terrorist police are investigating the incident.

Authorities closed the boulevard and the surrounding streets and called on the public to avoid the area.

BBC: Policeman and suspected gunman shot dead in Paris 'terror attack'

quote:

One policeman has been shot dead and two others wounded in central Paris, French police say, with their suspected attacker killed by security forces.

A lone gunman opened fire before being killed as he fled the scene, police say. The Champs-Elysees was sealed off.

President Francois Hollande said that he was convinced the attack was "terrorist-related".

So-called Islamic State (IS) said that one of its "fighters" had carried out the attack.

Islamist militancy is a major issue in the polls after recent mass attacks claimed by IS, with 238 people killed in jihadist attacks in France since 2015, according to data from AFP news agency.

Several candidates in Sunday's presidential election have ended their campaigns early as a mark of respect, with the centre-right's François Fillon calling on others to halt theirs too.

"On the face of it, the officers were deliberately targeted," Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said.

Mr Hollande said after crisis talks with his prime minister and interior minister that the security forces had the full support of the nation and a national tribute would be paid to the fallen policeman.

He said he would hold a meeting of his security cabinet on Friday morning.

Because of its worldwide renown and its large number of visitors, the Champs-Elysees has long been seen as a potential target, the BBC's Hugh Schofield reports from the French capital.

Attacker identified

A car pulled up alongside a police bus just before 21:00 (19:00 GMT) and a man got out, opening fire with an automatic weapon at the bus, Mr Brandet said.

After killing an officer, he attempted to run away while shooting at other officers, two of whom he injured, the spokesman added.
He was then shot dead by security forces.

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins later said that "the attacker's identity is known and has been verified".

"I won't reveal it, because investigations and raids are already under way, in particular to establish whether there is any evidence or not of complicity (in this attack)."

Meanwhile, IS identified the attacker as Abu-Yusuf al-Baljiki, in a statement carried by its Amaq news outlet.

The whole of the Champs-Elysees was evacuated and police vehicles were lined up near a point half way up the avenue around the George V metro station, our correspondent says.

Shots were heard near the Marks & Spencer store, provoking a panicked rush away from the scene by tourists and passers-by.
Witnesses interviewed by AFP recounted scenes of panic as people ran for cover and sought shelter.

"We had to hide our customers in the basement," said Choukri Chouanine, manager of a restaurant near the site of the shooting.
Thousands of troops and police guard tourist areas of the French capital. In February, a man armed with a machete in each hand was wounded after attacking soldiers on patrol at the Louvre Museum.

The following month, a 39-year-old man was killed at Orly airport after attacking a soldier.

Campaigns called off


The 11 candidates standing in Sunday's closely fought election were engaged in a final joint TV appearance to make their pitches as the attack happened.

Marine Le Pen, of the far-right national Front, tweeted:"I feel for and stand by our security forces, who have been targeted again."
Mr Fillon went on Twitter to pay "tribute to the security forces who give their lives to protect ours".

Both Ms Le Pen and Mr Fillon later announced they were cancelling campaign events scheduled for Friday, the last day of canvassing for votes.

Independent centrist Emmanuel Macron said during his TV appearance that it was a president's "first duty to protect" and he expressed his "solidarity" with the police.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, standing for the far left, tweeted: "I strongly feel for the policemen killed and wounded and their families. Terrorist attacks will never go unpunished, accomplices never forgotten."

At the White House, US President Donald Trump said people had to be strong and vigilant.

"Our condolences from our country to the people of France," he said. "It looks like another terrorist attack and... what can you say? It just never ends."
