Two masked men carrying AK47s entered the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical newspaper previously attacked for publishing the Mohammed cartoons. Atleast 12 people are reported dead.

2 of the dead are police officers, the remaining seems to be journalists and cartoonists. According to the Wikipedia page, citing BBC, the attackers shouted "We have avenged the prophet", but I can't find any mention of that on the linked BBC page. Hmmm.

Pretty loud gunshots in the video, but you don't need to speak French to know what to listen for.

Good thing France has strong gun laws, somebody might have been hurt.

The paper published Mohamed cartoons in 2009 ans 2012.  This is now 2015.

It is amazing how quickly the practitioners of the Religion of Peace can gear up and strike for revenge of insults to their Prophet.  Not.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

This Mohammed fellow is terribly thin-skinned, I fear.

I once siad, on this forum, that we should avoid frivolously offending Muslims, with Mohammed cartoons. It is not, however, frivolous for us to exercise our freedoms in protest, and show the sickos that we'll not be cowed.

I'm on my phone right now. Can someone with a real computer post some Mohammed-mocking cartoons for me?

Shot and killed one officer as he laid injured, begging for his life.  Guess the officer was somehow unarmed or wouldn't fight back.

Read elsewhere that according to one French newspaper, the terrorists are identified by the police.

Lightly answered the Colonel's son:--``Do good to bird and beast,
But count who come for the broken meats before thou makest a feast.
If there should follow a thousand swords to carry my bones away,
Belike the price of a jackal's meal were more than a thief could pay.
They will feed their horse on the standing crop, their men on the garnered grain,
The thatch of the byres will serve their fires when all the cattle are slain.
But if thou thinkest the price be fair,--thy brethren wait to sup,
The hound is kin to the jackal-spawn,--howl, dog, and call them up!

That was a bicycle cop.  Apparently, in Paris, the bike cops are set up similarly to the police in the UK.  I.E., not really armed.
They have to call for armed back up.  :facepalm:

I've seen claims that one of the suspects had previously been detained by US forces in Iraq, and was previously known by the French authorities for recruiting jihadis to fight in Iraq.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
