And then there was the guy who brought a grand piano out in the streets of Paris and played John Lennon’s Imagine to ease people’s pain.

“The French designer Jean Jullien sketched it as soon as he heard the news of the atrocity. He called it “Peace for Paris” and it immediately became a sensation on social media.”

Oh, how sensational! The morons fall in love with this stuff at a time when they should all be focused on annihilating the enemy.

First thing these asswipes do is draw peace signs?! So ISIS us supposed to see this and say...” hey, maybe they’re right. Peace is better”!? Crank up “Give Peace a Chance” while you’re at it!

I hate giving props to Rich Lowry, but he earned them with this one. I’ve been feeling the same way...especially about that red white and blue filter people are using on FB. It just seems so trite to me. If you want to do something useful start emailing, mailing and calling your elected officials and demand that they stop all Syrian refugees from coming here.

“The French designer Jean Jullien sketched it as soon as he heard the news of the atrocity.”

Good grief... It almost seems like he saw this as a resume-building opportunity. Bet he will get invited to so many parties now, and that logo will make him lots of cash.

The one good thing about 9-11 was that we didn’t have any of these social media platforms, so we actually came together as a nation like was done in years past with other horrific events. and we did it in our own ways that were unique to where we lived, but wholly American. There was no damn logo for it. That is why we have never forgotten it. our outpouring actually came from ourselves not through cute drawings and retarded hashtags that compartmentalize things like this into just a cool thing to be into that you can use as digital decoration.

These days people are just competing as to who can out care each other. In one week this will be a memory just like “I am Charlie”.

It’s a feel good thing. Liberals are all about “feeling” never about “thinking”.
