France prison escape: guards shot dead in ambush

At least two guards have been shot dead by armed men who ambushed a prison van taking a robber to court in northern France.
A third guard was said to have died, although this has not been confirmed by officials. Two other guards were seriously wounded.
The inmate, 30, who was said to have been jailed for robbery and was facing murder charges, escaped.

[@mikechiks983]

​@@soundscape26 Yep, he is by the law of the land. He's however, not ethnically French. Still very good when compared to cases where foreigners born in Saudi Arabia or Bahrain (as examples - there are more) aren't regarded as being from there. Case in point, a man close to his 30s had to leave Saudi where he was born and spent the first 25 yrs of his life because he wasn't allowed the passport and was described as Eritrean, same place his parents migrated from, even though all he has known for his entire life is Saudi Arabia. He found it difficult getting jobs because he was given same treatment as any other Eritrean immigrant. Sad wouldn't you say?

Banning guns will not work. Most countries in Europe have more illegal weapons than legally owned ones.

[@sonarbuge7958]

Hey, I know you have an 80IQ and struggle with critical thinking but these people are criminals, criminals don’t follow the law. They would get their guns even if all guns were illegal. Banning guns only takes them away from normal people and takes away citizens right to self defence.

Look at the crime rate of "people" from Muslim countries with any other religion in percentage, in any European country. This is not a debate, it's statistics. And the day ethnic studies are carried out like in the United States, we will know the extent of the problem.
