Dramatic video captures French police shooting dead terrorist who killed officer and wounded two others just days before French election – as it’s revealed he was released EARLY from 20 year sentence for trying to kill cops (By Abe Hawken and Amie Gordon For Mailonline and Peter Allen In Paris for MailOnline, 20 April 2017) A policeman was shot dead while two other officers were seriously injured by a Kalashnikov-wielding gunman on the Champs Elysees in central Paris – just three days before the French presidential election. The alleged ISIS gunman, identified as 39-year-old Karim C – who was jailed for 20 years for trying to kill officers in 2001 – parked his Audi and opened fire after police stopped at a red light on the world famous avenue. French police said the attack was probably a ‘terrorist act’ and dramatic video footage captured the moment police shot at the assailant, who later died. Police have now launched a desperate manhunt for a second suspect after heavily armed officers flooded the area in the heart of the French capital. Officers have been searching the home of the alleged shooter – who was known to security services and had been flagged as an ‘extremist’ – in east Paris and he had previously said that he ‘wanted to kill police’. The fatal incident unfolded as presidential candidates, including National Front party leader Marine Le Pen, debated on a TV show nearby before Sunday’s election. French presidential election candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon took part in the TV show as the nearby attack happenedFrench newspaper Le Parisien named the attacker as Karim C, who used the alias ‘Abu Yousuf the Belgian’, and reportedly made threats to kill police using the social media app Telegram, an instant messaging service. Karim was born in France and lived in Chelles, a commuter town close to Paris and was jailed for the 2001 attack – but is believed to have been released early in 2016. The gunman has been identified by police but they will not officially reveal his name until investigators determine whether he had accomplices, according to the Paris prosecutor. Francois Molins said: ‘The identity of the attacker is known and has been checked. I will not give it because investigations with raids are ongoing. ‘The investigators want to be sure whether he had or did not have accomplices.’ The Interior Ministry spokesman said the officers were deliberately targeted and the police union added that the policeman was killed while sat in a car at a red light. US President Donald Trump said: ‘It looks like another terrorist attack. What can you say? It never ends.’ ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack and dramatic video footage showed the immediate aftermath of the incident which left one policeman dead. In the video, posted on Twitter, several figures can be seen moving around next to a police van on the Champs Elysees. One of the figures then appeared to fall to the ground and a silver car – believed to have been used by the suspects – can be seen parked next to the van. Police have issued an arrest warrant for a second suspect – a man understood to have arrived in France by train from Belgium. French President Francois Hollande said the attack was ‘terrorist related’ and scheduled an emergency meeting following the shootings on Thursday evening. French prosecutors have opened a terrorism investigation. Mr Hollande said a national tribute will be paid to the policeman and added that a ‘passerby was hit’ before the ‘assailant was neutralised’. Poster Comment: Heinous butchery like this will insure Marine LePen's victory which will be a victory for the French people and another death knell for Merkel's EU. US and Europe's Muslim murderers are 'under surveillance' or known to 'security services' who do nothing until the vile piece of Muslim filth murders people. By now it should be evident that at some point they will murder someone, so why not find a pretext to lock him up or get them out of the country? What a pity rogue elements don't arise within police ranks, who quietly 'take out' a Muslim on police radar. By now if even the most bleeding of hearts doesn't see what a danger ALL Muslims are to a society then we are, indeed, lost. Moderate Muslims? No such thing. They all read the same damned book that instructs them to kill us. While the terrorist is sawing off our heads with a scimitar, the 'moderate' is holding down our feet so we don't wiggle around and spoil the cut.

You would think so. I think the fear of a Le Pen win will drive up voter turnout to vote for one of the two "moderate" candidates. Without France, the EU falls apart. And the Euro too. And without the EU and the Euro, the French are just a powerless unimportant little tourist stop. Le Pen's only hope is that the commie candidate (recently surging) can end up in the runoff with her. Faced with an impractical loon communist in the final round, she would win. Otherwise, it will be the usual Lucy-grabbing-the-football outcome for Le Pen. After Trump's big win, never say never. But a Le Pen win would be a bigger surprise to me than the Brexit outcome.
Without the EU and the Euro, GERMANY collapses utterly - their economy is literally BUILT on exports. France's is not. Le Pen will not simply tear up the European Union. She will SUBORDINATE the EU to the democracies that compose it. The current "European Union" is a Lincolnian model. Le Pen's model is a "European Confederacy", not a return to 1913.
Maybe. But I don't see the French voters giving her a chance to. French voters almost never turn to the Right in the last century. They never had a Thatcher and even Sarkozy was no Thatcher type. Le Pen is bigger now than her dad ever was but I don't see anything here to help her over the top. And FN has underperformed in regional elections, leaving a Le Pen presidency very weak, perhaps helpless, in the French parliament. A big massacre, like the truck attack in Nice, just before the second-round election might put her over the top though.
Article 16. Terror attack - respond with Article 16. Then the President becomes the King, with absolute power.
But are French voters ready for that? The record of French elections doesn't support it. I would argue it supports an opposite view. Even after 9/11 and passing the Patriot Act, Americans weren't willing to go that far. You'd have to have something like 9/11, like an attack that destroyed the Louvre and killed thousands, for the French to go for it.

On the other hand, are they ready for LE PEN? That's hard for them. It's like asking Americans to embrace...Al Gore again, or Romney, or Hillary Clinton. Once the public has well and truly REJECTED somebody as a shit sandwich, it's really, really hard to get them to accept having that person shoved down their throat later. That's the problem so many had with Trump. They so virulently opposed him that they cannot accept him now that he won. Everybody else moves on.
