EXCLUSIVE: The Oregon Army National Guard veteran who helped thwart a terror attack on a train from Amsterdam to Paris in 2015 is warning that New York Marine veteran Daniel Penny’s manslaughter trial is concerning to anyone who thinks of themselves as “someone who would step up.”
Oregon House Rep.-elect Alek Skarlatos, who along with two friends and another good Samaritan disarmed and subdued the Moroccan terrorist Ayoub El Khazzani when he opened fire on a packed Thalys train, said he believes French self-defense law is more accommodating than in the Empire State.
“Do you want people to step up and try to do the right thing or not? I mean, if he, God forbid, is convicted, it’s going to frighten a lot of people and blue states into inaction,” he said.
The problem with blue states, he warned, is an apparent double standard where politicized prosecutors pick and choose winners and losers.
