These journalists and the police were targeted victims, killed in an assassination mode. Does that make it any "better" or excusable? No, of course not.

It brings people up short, makes them think. As you say, you don't have to read these magazines to be aware of them, to have seen the cartoons and to appreciate them. I must say I am somewhat peeved that the only person likely to benefit from this ghastly business is Michel Houellebecq, who I suspect of being a self-agrandising creep -- certainly fairly unlikeable as a person anyway and his books don't hold any appeal for me. He reminds me curiously of Dan Brown.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-88457190426092257772015-01-08T08:33:48.291+01:002015-01-08T08:33:48.291+01:00The cartoonists are dead.... long live the cartoon...The cartoonists are dead.... long live the cartoonists.<br />The reaction to this disgusting act of cowardice has been quite incredible and spontaneous...<br />Charlie Hebdo MUST continue... for the memory of the dead, if nothing else.<br />There will be cartoonists and satirists who will step forward...<br />but our thoughts need to be with the families of the twelve [<i>so far</i>] victims...<br />and the injured and their families...<br />and the colleagues and inhabitants of other offices in the building...<br />like the London Tube bombings...<br />none of those people will be the same...<br />feel the same...<br />think the same!<br />My Father used to say... <br />"There are fascists to the right of us...<br />and fascists to the left!!"<br />But nowadays they hide...<br />become even more extreme...<br />and carry guns with which to EXECUTE their will...<br />that wounded policeman is a case in point...<br />he wouldn't have been able to give chase...<br />As you say above...<br />cowards, bloody cowards!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-14401930621801747452015-01-08T08:19:42.240+01:002015-01-08T08:19:42.240+01:00Balles tragiques à Charlie Hebdo, 12 morts .
