5. I’d like to mention briefly the fact that a woman let the gunmen into the building, knowing exactly who and what they were and what they were going to do. Apparently she was scared, and the gunmen told her they were not going to kill her – and they didn’t.
I think that level of cowardice she displayed in that situation is criminal and should be prosecutable as involuntary manslaughter. Here are the criteria for Involuntary Manslaughter:
a. Someone was killed as a result of act by the defendant. Check.
b. The act either was inherently dangerous to others or done with reckless disregard for human life. Check.
c. The defendant knew or should have known his or her conduct was a threat to the lives of others. Check.
But then, are we surprised that a person associated with this magazine was lacking in the moral virtue of courage? Again, be very careful about enthusiastically attaching yourself to these magazine people as heroes or role models. See the big picture without being pulled down into the weeds.

Either Ann is lying, making things up or ignorant of the facts.Why no mention of the baby? Why no mention the muzzies said they would kill her child if she didn't let them in?

As usual, Ann is making great points. But also as usual, she is also a little nutz.

Because they are not relevant.

I know - that's what makes her so irresistable.

Charlie Hebdo cartoonist reveals terrorists threatened to murder her toddler unless she let them in – and how she cowered with child under desk as massacre took place
"A young mother and cartoonist who survived the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris today said she had let the suspected Al Qaeda killers into the magazine office.

Corrine Rey said she had returned from picking up her young daughter from a kindergarten when she was confronted by two heavily armed men wearing balaclavas.

‘I had gone to pick up my daughter at day care, arriving in front of the magazine building, where two masked and armed men brutally threatened us,’ said Ms Rey, who draws under the name ‘Coco’.
