I Am Charlie
That is the message of solidarity that has gone out among French citizens and across the world. The UK and France has spent many years in this game at war with one another trying to ensure the other remains wiped, or weakened.
Yet when faced with a tragedy such as what happened today at the Charlie Hebdo office we choose to stand in solidarity with our friends across the Channel. The eUK expresses its condolences, sympathies and deepest regrets to the people of France. Having been victims of tragedy in the past, we can share in your pain.
As many of you will know, 3 gunmen shot dead 12 French people, including 10 civilians and 2 Police Officers - 8 of whom were Journalists, cartoonists and magazine editors. This tragedy occurred in that great city, Paris.
While we may be enemies in this game, while we may mock, troll and fight with each other I hope that this does not prevent us from coming together in the face of such tragedy. To standing in solidarity with the people of France. To putting behind us petty hatred.
France, the UK stands with you in this time of grief and sadness.
Je Suis Charlie

Oh, that's what this is all about, I saw that on the news yesterday.
Je suis Charlie!
you saw it on the news before it happened?
I could've sworn it happened sometime the other night...
Oh well, I s'pose it doesn't really matter WHEN it happened.
You should lay off of the gali, gali.

"I am not afraid of retaliation. I have no kids, no wife, no car, no credit. It surely is a bit pompous but I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees"
Thx for your kind words in these hard moments.

Religion is poison 🙁
now, thats an intolerant view...this had nothing to do with religion and everything to do with people filled with hate. Communism, an atheist regime and society has done more to destroy people than most religious groups. Does that make atheism poison?
Not to whale on you, bro, but this isn't about religion. Its about a group of individuals and their actions. Actions they may have taken had they not been Muslims. Or even having a faith.
Well this has everything to do with religion, or to be precise, an idiotic and sick interpretation of religion by the attackers.
And atheism (BTW I'm not atheist), the crimes of the Communist regimes were not made in "the name of atheism", but you have religious leaders that call to violence in the name of their religion.
check our their book it promotes hate, we need LOVE in this world.
Religion is their excuse, power is their motivator.
True, but sadly they brainwash young people like these attackers.

"Freedom of speech" shouldn't be equal to blasphemy and provocation.

The whole thing was a show. Terrorists used blank rounds and there was no blood in some scenes. Sorry if that upsets some of you.
Je suis Charlie
Merci à vous. Je Suis Charlie.
