In attack on Charlie Hebdo.

What is Charlie Hebdo? They're a satirical news agency, much like the Onion.

Hope they find these animals and give them what they deserve.

This was not some lone-wolf, random attack, or a few malcontents that just decided to go shoot the place up out of anger, either. This attack was conducted by personnel who had trained with their weapons and tactics, operated as a team, and did what they did quickly, calmly, and efficiently. It appeared the assault was well-planned and they had good recon of their target. Most likely they had killed before, and they shot accurately, not "spray and pray". Those videos you sometimes see of terrorists exercising in their training camps? These are those guys.

Except for the part where they went to the wrong building.. two doors down, and had to ask directions to their actual target location...

12 seems like an awfully low number.

Where did you see that? That wasn't in any report I read.

In any case, I was referring more to the fact that they timed it to coincide with an editorial meeting of some sort.

I'm starting to believe that I was wrong, and that Talya actually has the proper assessment of this. I'll take it a step further:

Blockade their countries, and commit genocide.

The two masked men brandishing automatic weapons had the wrong door. They were looking for the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical weekly.

After learning from a pair of maintenance workers that their target was two doors over, the gunmen killed one of the unfortunate duo.

It's going to take more idiocy like this before the world smartens up and takes this religion as the serious threat that it is.

This kind of thing really puts our immigration problems in perspective, though. Sure, we have a lot of illegals, but at least they get jobs and keep the ultra violence south of the border. Can you imagine if the Mexican drug lords started sending trained killers up here to massacre newspapers that dared to report on drug smuggling?

Nobody is coming here to start stuff. They are smart enough to leave crazy alone. :mrgreen:
If we shoot our own on a regular basis, what you think we would do to them?

France ended the death penalty in 1977, after lopping the head off a Tunisian pimp, torturer and murderer. At this point it is constitutionally illegal to impose or carry out the death penalty in France.

They may come to regret that.

Makes sense why the kid surrendered. Some folks still believe life in prison still beats a sudden death by cops or mobs.

The violence stays mostly south of the border because this is where the money comes from. This is where people are paying the cartels to smuggle them to, and where the cartels sell their dope. Basically, you don't **** where you eat.

There's also the fact that the cartels understand very well that there's a level of violence we can tolerate and a level we can't. There is a certain threshold of violence (a theoretical threshold; we are not actually likely to approach this situation any time soon) where the government would basically have to say to the Mexican government "look, you get this under control or we are coming to do it for you, whether you like it or not."

So yes, we're quite lucky that we have economic immigrants and common criminals coming across our border.

There should be an award for outstanding displays of oblivious irony. Here's the meat of an op-ed in the Washington Post:

WaPo wrote:
In the aftermath of the deadly assault on the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical newspaper, much of the world has rallied in solidarity with the publication, its irreverent cartoonists and their right to free speech. But not everyone is so supportive. Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, a U.S. organization that "defends the rights of Catholics," issued a statement titled "Muslims are right to be angry." In it, Donohue criticized the publication's history of offending the world's religiously devout, including non-Muslims. The murdered Charlie Hebdo editor Stephane Charbonnier "didn’t understand the role he played in his [own] tragic death," the statement reads. "Had [Charbonnier] not been so narcissistic, he may still be alive," Donohue says, in what must be one of the more offensive and insensitive comments made on this tragic day.

...[Donohue] clings to a defense of religious sensitivities bound to infuriate free-speech advocates and secularists and pins the fault of a terror attack on its victims.

And here's the disclaimer at the end:

WaPo wrote:
Editor's note: An earlier version of this article included images offensive to various religious groups that did not meet the Post's standards, and should not have been published. They have been removed.

There is something of an irony here. This incident has brought freedom of speech to the forefront. Public opinion has, predictably, come down strongly sympathetic to the victims. They have, in essence, made the staff of Charlie Hebdo into free speech martyrs. Give them each their 72 virgins 2 lusty whores.

Yeah, but why does it have to drop to 2 just because they're whores? Cheapskates.

Why do you need 72? You planning to raid Plane of Time or something?

I'll go up to 5 lusty whores. But no more.
