I have no idea what the guidelines are in France, but any criminal attorney in the US would say anything you do after your attacker is down will go to go against you in court.

Excellent situational awareness- a quick word from m. White top, form single file, at the first laying on of hands, all attack, head shot after head shot. No phones to be seen- they were super alert from the start.
If you want me, I’ll be in my bunk.

Feeling like the latecomer who sees a rat tail at the crawfish boil here. I'd love for that video to be real, not just inspirational... and who knows, maybe it is -- I haven't checked the factcheck -- but...

[BBC] One of the UK's most senior generals was warned in writing in 2011 that SAS soldiers were claiming to have executed handcuffed detainees in Afghanistan.
BBC Panorama can reveal that Gen Gwyn Jenkins, who is now the second most senior officer in the British armed forces, received accounts of conversations in which members of the SAS described extrajudicial killings.
But instead of referring the evidence to military police, Gen Jenkins placed it in a classified dossier and locked it in a safe.
The failure to refer the evidence to military police has previously been disclosed in court, but the identities of the officers involved were withheld from the public by the Ministry of Defence.
Gen Jenkins - who was at the time a colonel in the senior ranks of special forces - created the classified dossier in April 2011 after first briefing his direct superior, then-head of special forces Gen Jonathan Page, on the nature of the evidence.
Under British law, commanding officers are legally obliged to inform the military police if they are made aware of any evidence that a war crime may have been committed.
But the dossier containing the testimony remained locked in the safe for four years, known only to a handful of officers, as Gen Jenkins rose through the ranks of the armed forces, until a separate special forces whistleblower informed the Royal Military Police of its existence.
The same month that Gen Jenkins created the classified dossier, he became head of all United Kingdom Special Forces in Afghanistan. He would go on to become the director of UK Special Forces and then vice chief of the defence staff, the second most senior position in the military - a promotion that saw him jump from a two-star to a four-star general.
Allegations of extrajudicial killings by British special forces in Afghanistan are currently the subject of a judge-led public inquiry at the Royal Courts of Justice, following reporting by the BBC and others into night raids conducted by the SAS.
Last year, Panorama revealed that one SAS squadron had killed 54 people in suspicious circumstances in one six-month tour that ended in May 2011.
In March 2011, Gen Jenkins was the commanding officer of the Special Boat Service (SBS), the naval equivalent of the SAS, making him one of the most senior officers in UK Special Forces.
That month, an officer under his command reported a conversation in which a member of the SAS had allegedly confessed to him that units from the elite army regiment were unlawfully killing unarmed people and detainees during aggressive, fast-moving night raids.
Gen Jenkins instructed the officer to write a formal statement. In it, the officer wrote that the SAS soldier had told him that SAS units were killing all fighting-age males during night raids, regardless of whether they posed a threat.
Fighting-age males were defined by the special forces teams as anyone believed to be 15 years or over.
"In one case it was mentioned a pillow was put over the head of an individual being killed with a pistol," the SBS officer wrote.
The officer also wrote that the SAS soldier implied that weapons were planted on or near the bodies of unarmed Afghans killed in the raids and then photographed in order to justify the killings - a tactic known in the military as using "drop weapons".
After reading the officer's statement, Gen Jenkins wrote directly to his superior, General Jonathan Page, then the director of UK Special Forces.
Under the subject line, "ALLEGATIONS OF EJK BY [UKSF]" - in which EJK stands for "extrajudicial killings" - Gen Jenkins wrote that he had been aware "for some time" of rumours that the SAS was "conducting summary executions of supposed Taliban affiliates".
"However, I have now been given more information of a nature which makes me seriously concerned for the reputation of [UK Special Forces]," he wrote.
Gen Jenkins warned Gen Page that there appeared to be "an unofficial policy" among SAS squadrons to kill any fighting-age Afghan male during a raid, "regardless of the immediate threat they pose to our troops".
He wrote: "In some instances this has involved the deliberate killing of individuals after they have been restrained by [the SAS] and the subsequent fabrication of evidence to suggest a lawful killing in self-defence."
Gen Jenkins concluded that he felt "most strongly that thorough investigation is warranted".
Two days later, Gen Page's assistant chief of staff sent Gen Page a classified memo that reiterated Gen Jenkins' concerns, writing that several whistleblowers within the SBS had reported hearing similar accounts from members of the SAS, and that Gen Jenkins thought the whistleblowers' testimony was credible.
"My instinct is that this merits deeper investigation, hopefully to put minds at rest… or at worst to put a stop to criminal behaviour," the assistant chief of staff wrote.
The day after he wrote to Gen Page detailing his concerns, Gen Jenkins set up what is known as a "controlled-access security compartment" - a classified file that limited access to the whistleblower testimony to a small number of officers within UK Special Forces.
The compartment was labelled: "Anecdotal evidence suggesting [extrajudicial killings] have been carried out by members of [the SAS] in Afghanistan".
Official UK Special Forces paperwork said the purpose of the compartment was to "provide an additional level of control over the handling and briefing of the more sensitive aspects of this matter".
It continued: "This is because dissemination of the information protected by this Compartment could cause severe damage to the reputation of [UKSF], could prejudice further investigation, and could disrupt current operations".
In evidence to the High Court in 2020, as part of a case brought by one of the Afghan families whose relatives were killed in a night raid, Col Robert Morris of the Royal Military Police said that the controlled access compartment created by Gen Jenkins had prevented the RMP from accessing the evidence for years.
Gen Page responded to Gen Jenkins' memo by commissioning a rare formal review of the tactics used by SAS units on night raids. A special forces officer was deployed to Afghanistan to interview personnel from the SAS squadron under scrutiny.
But the officer - an SAS major who had recently commanded a squadron in Afghanistan - appeared to take the squadron's version of events at face value. The BBC understands that the officer did not visit any of the sites of the raids or interview any witnesses outside of the military, and his review was conducted in less than a week. Court documents show that his report was signed off by the commanding officer of the SAS unit responsible for the suspicious killings.
Following the appointment of Gen Jenkins as head of UK Special Forces in Afghanistan, in April 2011, the suspected executions of unarmed Afghan people continued. Back in London, senior special forces officers had begun to keep a tally of suspicious incidents. But at no point did anyone in special forces leadership, including Gen Jenkins and Gen Page, refer the matter to military police.
Under the Armed Forces Act 2006, commanding officers are legally obliged to inform the military police if they have any reason to suspect a war crime may have been carried out by their troops and can be prosecuted for failing to make a referral.
Gen Jenkins served for a year as the head of UK Special Forces in Afghanistan, before returning to the UK to join the government as military assistant to Prime Minister David Cameron, a role he held until 2014.
That year, the Royal Military Police embarked on an investigation that examined dozens of suspected extrajudicial killings by the SAS squadron on tour in the first half of 2011. The investigation was later closed with no charges brought - a decision that caused consternation among some members of the government and senior levels of the civil service.

[KavkazUzel] The court in Grozny postponed the hearing in the case of the burning of the Koran by Volgograd resident Nikita Zhuravel due to the failure of the imams of Grozny mosques, acting as victims, to appear.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, on November 2, the court in Grozny, on the third attempt, began to consider the case of Volgograd resident Nikita Zhuravel, accused in the case of burning the Koran. On October 9 and October 24, court hearings were postponed due to the absence of imams of Grozny mosques acting as victims in the case.
The court in Grozny postponed the hearing in the case of Nikita Zhuravel due to the failure of the victims to appear. The next court hearing is scheduled for November 28, TASS reported today.
The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that on September 25, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, published a video showing his 15-year-old son Adam Kadyrov beating Zhuravel in a pre-trial detention center. The head of Chechnya praised his son for this act. The actions of Kadyrov’s son were also approved by State Duma deputy Adam Delimkhanov and Chechen Minister of National Policy Akhmed Dudayev. Human rights activists condemned the beating of Zhuravel in the pre-trial detention center.
A number of heads of the North Caucasus republics presented awards to Adam Kadyrov. Thus, on November 7, the head of Kabardino-Balkaria, Kazbek Kokov , announced that he had presented Adam Kadyrov with the highest award of the republic - the Order of Merit for the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. The head of Tatarstan awarded Adam Kadyrov with the Order of Duslyk, the head of Karachay-Cherkessia Rashid Temrezov with the Order of Merit for the Karachay-Cherkess Republic (the highest state award of the republic), and the Mufti of Karachay-Cherkessia awarded the son of the head of Chechnya with the Order of Merit for the Umma.
The presentation of the highest awards to Adam Kadyrov in Karachay-Cherkessia and Kabardino-Balkaria was dictated by the desire of the heads of the republics to show respect to his father, Akhmet Yarlykapov, a senior researcher at the Center for Caucasus Problems and Regional Security at MGIMO, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
The awards for Kadyrov Jr. were initiated by Moscow as a signal of support for Ramzan Kadyrov's possible successor, President of the Assembly of Peoples of the Caucasus Ruslan Kutaev noted to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
Let us remind you that on October 17, a video was published in Chechen public pages showing one schoolchild being beaten by another. Speaker of the Chechen Parliament Magomed Daudov reacted to the video. He threatened to punish the teenager's parents for his cruelty.
Later, another video was published on social networks. It shows two schoolchildren in Chechnya, one of whom beat a peer, and the other filmed it on video, while washing the floors at school as punishment. The ending of this story differed sharply from the story of the beating of Zhuravel by the son of the head of Chechnya, since Kadyrov’s son was not punished.
[Breitbart] Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray told Congressional lawmakers on Wednesday evening that federal law enforcement officials have opened various investigations into individuals “affiliated” with Hamas in the wake of the Palestinian terror organization’s unprecedented attack on Israel last month.
However, Wray noted that the bureau has not seen evidence of any specific threat it considers credible.

So, those being investigated now are "known wolves," meaning they will be left to their own devices until they complete their missions and probably even afterwards.

I thought the FBI and Homeland Sec. were already doing this
Too busy tracking and raiding uncooperative parents from school board meetings and people with MAGA signs in their yards. I'm sure our federal monitors can verify that.
They're scared about this message getting out. They just got the Guardian to censor it after it went viral. We must not let them memory hole this or "add context" by "fact-checkers". Read the words yourself, judge for yourself, and then spread it around. It's what they don't want you to do.

The Guardian deleted it from their page because it had gone viral on TikTok with a great many totally deranged TikTokkers expressing enthusiastic agreement with everything OBL stated, thus trying to drum up worldwide support for the old FinalSolution® along with abolition of western civilization.

I don't blame these pathetic TikTokers.
They've grown up in a Western Civilization whose political response to theocratic totalitarianism has been finlandized masochism epitomized in our highest representatives bleating "Islam is Peace" in the face of atrocious massacres.
There's another "Letter to America" that these TikTokers should react to:
"that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."
Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the Tripolitan ambassador to Britain to Thomas Jefferson, London 1786
Baby Bhutto's Mom was PM, his father was President Ten Percent, and his grandfather was PM until overthrown by Zia ul-Haq and subsequently hanged for not being Islamic enough or something.
[GEO.TV] As the country inches towards the general elections, Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Baby Bhutto Zardari ...Pak dynastic politician, son of Benazir Bhutto and grandon of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. As far as is known, Bilawal has no particular talents other than being pretty and being able to memorize political slogans, but he had the good luck to be born into the right family and he hasn't been assassinated yet... on Thursday underscored the need for new leadership and new politics, saying that the "old politicians will have to be sent home".
Addressing a workers' convention in Abbottabad ... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden.... , Bilawal said that other parties are into old politics but there should be a "doctrine and manifesto" that the PPP possesses.
He said that new leadership and new politics are needed to come out of the crises, hitting out at the Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N, which has presented its supremo, Nawaz Sharif ...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts... , as a possible candidate for the prime ministership.
Nawaz is in Pakistain after ending a four-year self-imposed exile in October, but his participation in the elections remains in doubt due to legal issues — as he had been disqualified from holding public office.
"Such a leadership which is not stuck in the past, which thinks about the future, doesn't get caught up in politics and division," Bilawal said.
He further stated that people's problems won't be resolved if the "personal enmities are to continue like this". "Pakistain won't progress unless the vote is not given respect".

In which the Biden administration has Israel’s back — just so they can plant a very sharp knife in it.
[IsraelTimes] United States Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield is pressed to explain why the US allowed a Security Council resolution that called for humanitarian pauses in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... and a release of all hostages to pass yesterday after vetoing a resolution a month ago that made those same two demands.
"Over 7,000 Paleostinians have died since Brazil put forward its resolution last month, does the United States regret not having abstained earlier?" Thomas-Greenfield is asked during a press stakeout at the UN.
"We made a decision on that resolution because that resolution did not provide for Israel’s rights of self-defense," Thomas-Greenfield responds.
A news hound pushes back, noting that the latest resolution makes no mention of Israel’s right to self-defense either, yet the US still abstained and allowed it to pass yesterday.
"This was a resolution that specifically addressed the humanitarian needs. The other resolutions did not," Thomas-Greenfield retorts.
Both yesterday’s and last month’s resolutions detailed the humanitarian needs in Gaza.
Jews are human, too, and some of them have been misbehaving.
What was the Hebrew word for "intifada" again?
[IsraelTimes] A focus on the Gaza war and blurred lines between the military and settler activists have led to increased aggression against Palestinians and depopulation of several villages.
Lots of verbiage snipped about how mean the settlers are to the poor, beleaguered Palestinians. Then we get an example:
The community in Zanutah ultimately decided to leave the village as a result, and packed up and removed all the property they could take with them by October 28.
The Times of Israel visited the depopulated village and saw the entire site abandoned. The corrugated metal sheets used to roof buildings in such villages due to the lack of building permits had been removed by the former residents, along with everything else that could be taken.
Oh. It was an illegal Palestinian village, as illegal as some of the Jewish quickie hilltop settlements. They had no right to be there, and left as quickly as they arrived.
A school in Zanutah built by the European Union’s Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid department had been vandalized, with trash and debris strewn across its small campus.
The EU had no business building without permission in a community that snuck in illegally, but they do enjoy defying the Jewish government, then preening themselves on nobly standing up to the hateful Jews, who’ve clearly learnt nothing from their genocide at the hands of the Nazis.

^A retired US Army forensic dentist gave me a detailed briefing on how this is done. Upside down in 'the chair' for a cleaning I learned all about how tooth enamel is tougher than bone and many metals and can preserve root tissue even after an explosion and fire decimates a corpse.
[The Week] Officials from both the Israel Defense Forces and the United States government recently confirmed an earlier report that Hamas militants were high on a counterfeit stimulant known as Captagon when they carried out the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Also known as the "jihadi drug," "Captain Courage" and the "poor man’s cocaine," Captagon reportedly helped fuel a violent mania on that day. Are these accusations a critical tool of Hamas' plans or an attempt to paint the group as drug-crazed violent zombies?
WHAT IS CAPTAGON?
Captagon is the brand name of the drug fenethylline hydrochloride, initially created in the 1960s in West Germany to treat conditions like attention deficit disorder, depression and narcolepsy, Insider reported. The drug was eventually banned in the 1980s due to its "highly addictive nature," the outlet added, but a "clandestine trade" of counterfeit Captagon has flourished in the Middle East ever since. The drug remains extremely common in the region and has "particularly blossomed" in Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
[IsraelTimes] In a confidential quarterly report distributed to member states, the IAEA estimated that, as of October 28, Iran’s total enriched uranium stockpile was at 4,486.8 kilograms, an increase of 691.3 kilograms since the last quarterly report in September 2023.
The limit in the 2015 deal was set at 202.8 kilograms.
The IAEA report also said that according to the agency’s assessment, as of October 28, Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... has an estimated 128.3 kilograms (282.9 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60% purity, which represents an increase of 6.7 kilograms since its September report.
Uranium enriched at 60% purity is just a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%.
In its report, the IAEA also decried Iran’s decision to bar several inspectors as "extreme and unjustified," saying it "directly and seriously affected" the agency’s work, marking a new low in relations. Iran in September withdrew the accreditation of several inspectors.
In a second confidential report distributed to member states, the watchdog said that no progress has been made on its request that Iran explain the origin and current location of manmade uranium particles found at two locations that Tehran has failed to declare as potential nuclear sites, which the IAEA named as Varamin and Turquzabad.
The report also said that there is no progress thus far in getting more monitoring equipment, including cameras, reinstalled that had been removed by Iran in June 2022.
