I'd make a joke but this is too tragic.

How the heck does anyone familiar with firearms load live rounds and think they're blank?  Why, even with blanks were people downrange (as in any possible bullet path)?

+1 Haz, Decorum prohibits me from saying something rude, in light of a clear tradgedy.

But, I can quote Archie Bunker, "aw jeez, Edith, its the French for cryin' out loud,...." ::)

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

No wonder they couldn't win a war...when you use your own citizens for target practice public support drops rapidly.  Then again since it was the french military...that says it all.

That is absolutely disgusting  and I would expect this from the French, I don't believe that this was a mistake.

My guess is that the soldiers who where doing the shooting did not load their own magazines. 

More likely that someone in the armory loaded a bunch of them to be handed out....and, probably deliberately, put the live magazine in the box.

The Sargent still should have checked, epically when  he knew he was going to be firing into a crowd...and whoever set up the demo calling for firing into the crowd should be tried on more than negligence.
