Gunmen have shot dead 12 people at the Paris office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in an apparent militant Islamist attack.
Four of the magazine's well-known cartoonists, including its editor, were among those killed, as well as two police officers.
A major police operation is under way to find three gunmen who fled by car.

One report I saw said the gunmen acted like professionals in the way they carried out the attack. Has anyone claimed responsibility yet? I know they were Muslim but most terror groups prefer to blow shit up.

I see that many in the gutless press snapped right into line and have started to censor the so called offensive images.
Cowards and hypocrites.

Saw a petition on change.org to have all major newspapers print the cartoons. I'm hoping that the images become mainstream.

From this period, a famous English phrase came about: Keep calm and carry on. Death is only as scary as you make it. Horrible acts like this can only control you as much as you let them. Feel the emotions, express the emotions, but don’t indulge them.

Some of the discussion on social media and in the blogosphere is headache inducing.

When the second airplane hit the WTC I realized that we would be dealing with these scumbags for a very long time.
I have no idea why everyone else in the U.S. did not feel the same way.

The West is full of pussies. Their cowardice is writing checks the rest of us are going to have to cash.
