JE SUIS CHARLIE · 1:36am Jan 8th, 2015
I am horrified and shocked by the attack on the offices of the Charlie Hebdo in Paris today that left 12 people dead, including 2 police officers. These acts were perpetrated by those who sought to destroy the concept of free speech and used religion as a poor excuse to kill 12 innocents.
To the police officers, rest easy, brothers. We'll take it from here. We'll catch the bastards who killed you and the people you protected with your lives. You represent the thin blue line that separates us from the monsters of society, such as those who committed this massacre. We will bring them to justice.
To the journalists, to keep going on with your newspaper after receiving numerous threats and even a firebombing in 2011 is true bravery. You refused to back down to terrorists, and even though you ended up paying for it with your lives, your spirit lives on in every journalist, in every kid who wants to seek the truth, in everyone who seeks freedom of speech across the world.
NOUS SOMMES CHARLIE!
