That's when Spencer Stone jumped him with Alek Skarlatos, the student Anthony and that British guy helped restrain him.
If you read the story coming out and you'd been in a Eurostar/Thalys/TGV you'd know he probably didn't make it more than a few feet from the toilet.
Heroes. No need to try and put anyone down.

I'm not 'putting anyone down', what's with you. What about the train staff that locked itself in the bathroom to hide. My compliment was also intended for the first French guy as well, I did read the article:
--
A French passenger who happened to be there tried to disarm Khazzani -- described as "small, slim, not very strong" -- but he got away and fired at least one shot, wounding a Franco-American traveller in his 50s.
But the attack was quickly stopped when two off-duty US servicemen and their friend charged the gunman and restrained him.

That to me comes off that this guy reacted upon a face to face chance encounter with the gunman, not to take away from his heroism, it's a bit different than these boys that actually charged towards the gunman from distance.
What's with people on this board, have something negative to say even in situations. These guys are heroes, period.
