A five-year-old boy was discovered hidden under his mother's lifeless body inside the Bataclan Theatre after she sacrificed herself to save him. Elsa Delplace, 35, used her body as a human shield to protect her son Louis when ISIS gunmen opened fire on the crowd at an Eagles of Death Metal concert in the theatre. Her mother, 61-year-old Patricia San Martin, also died during the massacre, one of a series of coordinated attacks on the French capital on Friday night.

Selfless: Elsa Delplace, 35, died after she used her body as a human shield to save her five-year-old son Louis, when ISIS gunmen burst into the Bataclan Theatre as part of Friday night's attacks
 
Conservatives would insist that she should have been armed, but because of French gun laws she was a helpless target.
 
Took a 5 yr old to a metal concert ? Eagles of Death ? And dragged grannies along to pay ? Was the kid stoned too ?

She obviously deserved to die, since she took her child to a concert and wasn't carrying a gun like a brave conservative would have. :rolleyes:
