Breaking News: Gunman Kill 12 at Satirical Newspaper Office, Paris, France

(Image from:  Courrier International)

I never heard of Charlie Hebdo--until a few hours ago.

I came back from the gym to see the headline:  12 Killed in Shooting at Satirical Newspaper Office in Paris before I even started fixing breakfast.

While making their escape, the gunmen killed a police officer (Warning--Graphic Content).

There are several videos embedded in the RT News article.

Tragically, the years various French governments spent appeasing terrorist groups have availed them nothing.

And of course, some media outlets, in addition to the who said Charlie Hebdo was "...just being stupid...", are engaging in self-censorship.

Unlike Charlie Hebdo's late editor, Stephane Charbonnier, who said he'd "...rather die standing..." than live on his knees.

Well said, and rest in peace Stephane.

Speaking of quotable quotes, remember when Our Dear Leader said:  The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam?

Mark Steyn adds his two Francs.

Keep in mind the staff at Charlie Hebdo didn't just satirize Muslims.  Scrolling through this Google-search of images show Charlie Hebdo was an equal opportunity offender (Warning--some images are NSFW).
