January 7th 2015 Attack
I stand with ALL victims of terror and against the perpetrators; whoever they are. I have empathy with and sympathy for the dead and injured and for the bereaved families. This does not mean 'je suis Charlie' or that I believe this attack was an assault on free speech. Especially so given some of the hypocritical BS being flung around since the killings and the mounting wave of Moslems-in-general blaming that the murders have generated.
PS Be warned. Anyone making disparaging remarks about Moslems in general will have their comments deleted. As will posts supporting terror of ANY type: state, religious, political.
The freedom of speech is a precious thing and must be protected , Tony
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Tony.
DeleteI have often heard that 'one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter'. In this case these terrorists were not fighting for freedom; they killed to stop people from having freedom of expression. My sympathy goes out to the families of those who were killed.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Bob. It was an act of filthy mass murder and my sympathies are with the families of the dead and injured also.
DeleteUnfortunately, it seems that the Sword got one in over the Pen, this time.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Col, and all the more reason for them and courageous journalists like them to continue writing and drawing.
