Hummm.

Another "Lone Wolf" attack?

Sure are a lot of lone wolves out there.......

But were are they all coming from?

And, as Brian Williams of the weak-stream media oft wonders, what could their motivation possibly be?

The world wonders.

Honestly, I can't think of the last time Christians or Jews or Buddhists or Hindus murdered a dozen people because of cartoons belittling their respective religion. Can you imagine the outcry, the writhing and screeching from some segments of society if some Baptists murdered twelve people because of a cartoon in a magazine that poked fun at the Baptist Church?

This same magazine was fire bombed in 2011 and it didn't stop them, I hope they recover from this and continue on with their work.

This has nothing to do with political correctness and Islam is not going away, this was a few extremists once again hijacking a religion as an excuse to murder.

France will classify this not as a terrorist attack but rather that of a deranged cartoon critic that hated their font type.

(I do see that they are calling it a terror attack and that there are 4 gunmen, it's just that they have a history of trying not to offend the local muslim population over past actions)

The President of France has already said it was a Terrorist Attack.

Will the French tweet "Illridewithyou", like the Aussies?

Yeah, because the 300 million or so guns in circulation have done wonders preventing mass shootings in this country.

Check France's homicide rate--it's a fraction of ours.

I guess this tragedy is just too serious to do the same.

May the dead rest in peace and the affected recover soon. This is so terrible.

I mean....what are the gun laws over there?
They had a rocket launcher. Do their gun laws cover rocket launchers ?

Totally unarmed population... The police pull up on bicycles...

No way possible to defend themselves against those with guns.
Thank god we have a 2nd amendment. Now if they would quit attacking it, and trying to make us like France.
