11 dead in French satirical magazine shooting

[mongers]

I skipped the last several pages.  Did Martinus go all lone gunman on religion and heterosexuals or something?

Exec.Sum - Canadian lawyers defended the indefensible, Garbon was doing his thing with fine distinctions, Marty was the sole of reason and Viking Vikinged for all a raiding party was worth; Languish at it's best.

Heard on CNN that the terrorists read out the names of the CH staff before they were killed.  So pretty personal.

Well informed and well organised, I'd say. CH staff is pretty famous in France.

Seriously though.  What indefensible position have Malthus, BB or I taken?

What's been defended that's indefensible?

According to NBC 1 suspect is shot dead and 2 are arrested.

Good news.

Wow, you are really stupid.

hes not comparing boycotting to murder, he's questioning the sincerity of your belief in what you quoted.

Not really. Again, first of all Voltaire's words were aimed at protecting someone from state prosecution. So that's that.

I do think however that it is sensible to expand this principle to protecting someone from violence - and other illegal actions - by persons who are not associated with the state.

I do not think that it is sensible to expand this principle so far as to argue that this should grant someone effective immunity of all negative social consequences of saying disagreeable things.

Unless those disagressable things are said by a gay, about gayness.

A joke exec.sum for Money, hence stuff like Marty being the sole of reason.

The fucked up way they finished off the cop was one way to ensure you won't be taken alive by the gendarmes, even if you wanted.

I've had a lunatic hold a knife to my throat and threaten to kill me.

This should have its own thread.

I'm sure I mentioned this back when it happened, about 10 years ago
