A Man Dies So Others May Be Saved

What an interesting article to find in a national newspaper. “The news from France, this time Trèbes, was depressingly familiar. A jihadist terror attack, again. A radicalized Muslim man known to police on a rampage, again. Civilians about their daily business under siege, again.”
