Thoughts and prayers to the victim but it seems ridiculous that this deserves big bold red letters on his page.

Because 2017. That's why.

Make no mistake...ISIS *wants* people like Le Pen in power because it makes their job of recruiting much easier.
We're seeing it now.

Because it's on the eve of their big election night and they have super strict gun control. If the perpetrator is a Muslim, this could be just the type of event that pushes Le Pen over the top to victory. Le Pen winning means France likely deports millions of Muslims and pulls out of the EU, which could mean the end of the European Union itself. It's a big big big deal.

Because it is at the hands of yet another slimy GD, excuse me Associated Press, Allahdamned a-hole Islamist...these vermin need all the exposure they can be given so I say good for Drudge!

Drudge is clickbait. it's time to stop giving him way more credit than he deserves.

Off the top of my head:
-Early reports say shooter(s) may have been Belgian (calls into question free movement mandated by EU
-ISIS involvement at a time when France is still in a state of emergency. They have had a heightened security posture for years now.
-If there is a shooter at large the situation could draw parallels to the manhunt which ended at the marais Jewish grocery store
-killing with an ak 47 on the champs elysees is equivalent to killing someone on Pennsylvania ave with a class 3 weapon. Even then, class 3 can be bought in the us by some, but ak 47's are not allowed in France.
-Tourism in France and particularly Paris has taken a large hit due to security concerns (specifically among Asian tourists).
-cops getting gunned down in Western Europe are exceedingly rare events relative to the US.
-Marine Le Pen had been in a twitter fight with the eu recently, this action fits right into her warnings.
-the London bridge incident didn't kill many either, but it was certainly news worthy, and was far more covered by big media
-the other two rivals in the election with a shot at the runoff will be seriously challenged to answer this news in a strong manner relative to Le pen.
-this election may have one of the lowest participation rates in modern French history. The shooting will only energize Le pen's base and may encourage apathy on the part of the middle of the electorate (not willing to vote for NF, but can't stomach the left's business as usual attitude towards terrorism).
When did body counts become the key measure? Does the location (most famous street in the world), method (ak), or perpetrator (possible foreign citoyen) not carry weight?

The better question would be why NYT or Wapo or some other jackass leftwing media outlet admonished Trump for calling it exactly what it was.
And the the idiots with the "don't fight them because it helps their recruiting" WTF did we do before 9/11? Clinton bent over for them repeatedly and did nothing as they bombed embassies, the Cole, didn't get Bin Laden, etc, etc.
All that shite got us 9/11. The fricking intel agencies couldn't even coordinate with each other bac then.
