Poor planning of the event, to say the least.

that soldier didnt fuck up,  his next immediate supervisor did.  well, he fucked up for taking live rounds from the range and keeping them with his gear for such a long time.  but his sergeant should have made sure all his shit was squared away.

I'll lol at that. Maybe.

But seriously, this is screwed up. Why, why, why?

Good thing it was a FAMAS though, as it uses 5.56 NATO "wounding" ammunition instead of heavier (7.62) "killing" ammo. But that's still inexcusable. I'm glad no one was killed--that's a miracle.

actually the french are rather efficient at these thing. Like this example. Then again they don't really care if the hostage taker lives ...

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

He should have never have been aiming the gun at the crowd. As samfink said, you should never point a gun at anything you don't want shot.
