Legbiter, Barrister and Valmy = everyone? ;)

There are reports of a Frenchman who tried to "tackle" the gunman first, failed but this would have attracted the attention of the US servicemen.

So, the French guy got overpowered, ran away, and needed Americans and Brits to come to the rescue?  Well, that just broke a nice meme we had going.  :(

He didn't run away, he just retreated in an orderly manner.

He actually surrendered, then half felt like joining in with the attacker.

He was an American living in France, and he's the one that got the AK-47 away from the attacker. He got shot in the back of the neck while moving away from the guy.

Still all American heroes... oh, and the Brit. :)

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

You know, when you're receiving a nation's highest honour from the head of state, it's probably respectful to wear a suit and tie.

Americans :rolleyes:

Presumably those who were on vacation didn't pack suits just for the off side chance they would receive the Legion d'Honneur. :P

If one of them is the guy who lives in France, he is an asshole though. :P

Anyway, I was going to ask whether perhaps the medal is not too high an honour, given that it is the highest order of the French Republic that a foreigner could get - but then I saw they gave it to Bono...
