    I don't get it, is he holding hostages? why isn't the police storming him and getting it over? by this point i believe that they are sieging him for 8 hours already.

    Why not? He is clearly not going anywhere and getting him alive would be better as he could reveal his contacts and associates.

    Well he shot three police officers already, perhaps they are betting on him surrendering this afternoon instead of more action, more possible casualties. I don't think that makes sense, though.

    He doesn't hold hostages. He has surrendered one of his weapons (which may be the .45 he used for the shootings), but the police knows he has more. He has also indicated where to find his car with the weapons it contained.

    I suppose the police prefers not to have to storm if they can arrest him otherwise - and since the guy proves more talkative than is usually the case in such situations, they keep talking with him. Their goal is to get him alive, not to riddle him with bullets.

    No problem, but 9 hours is too long. Just my opinion. And I want him alive and all.

    To be fair, I've noticed in the past 48 hours the Left shamelessly using the tragedy to blame the situation on Sarko's "too many foreigners" speech. As much as M. Le Pen may be breathing a sigh of relief that it wasn't a right-wing extremist.....I surely imagine the many on the Left being secretly upset it is not as well.

    Point being...the political opportunism some have taken in regards to the ongoing killing spree is nothing short of despicable.

    Even the Muslim cult representative said yesterday in front of the Elysee "Please stop saying this is because of the latest mention of Halal and such by politics"

    Why? He is a small disturbed fish who likely doesn't have any intel worth knowing. I say burn his apartment down with him and his brother in it, let him get a nice warm up for the flames of hell.

    Not sure, bee, he's been to Astan twice and eventually has a "network". I want to agree with you but he might deliver some serious informations.

    Even if he is just a disturbed little fish.... he might know others just like him.
