Washington (CNN)Secretary of State John Kerry drew a distinction Tuesday between the two terror attacks in Paris this year, saying the terrorists who attacked the Charlie Hebdo office in January had a "rationale" as opposed to Friday's events which Kerry described as "indiscriminate" violence.
"There's something different about what happened from Charlie Hebdo, and I think everybody would feel that. There was a sort of particularized focus and perhaps even a legitimacy in terms of -- not a legitimacy, but a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, 'OK, they're really angry because of this and that,'" Kerry said during remarks at the U.S. Embassy in Paris.
"This Friday was absolutely indiscriminate. It wasn't to aggrieve one particular sense of wrong. It was to terrorize people. It was to attack everything that we do stand for. That's not an exaggeration," Kerry added.

Can John MFing Kerry really be that MFing stupid? I knew he was punching under his weight class, but this is educational for the retarded.
What was “Jenjus” John’s “rationale” for stabbing fellow soldiers in the back?
He’s so nuanced we just aren’t worthy - I can’t believe we passed on the opportunity to have his intellect in the Oval Office....
Same rationale Nixon had for sending Hanoi Johnny into Cambodia that Christmas that is seared, seared into his memory.
Hey Kerry. One day there will be a trial for you. Your odds are not looking good.
This story has got to go viral. It is the most amazing thing he’s said in 50 years of stupid and mendacious statements. Did the people listening to him stand up and walk out of the room???
Actually, and sadly, what Kerry says explains the reaction to the latest attack. I do think most French figured that Hebdo had it coming to them, for daring to make fun of Islam.
In this case the French are literally mad, and will stay mad for another 5 days or so...and then, as politicians in Europe and the US say, they will calm down and things will get back to normal, and the re-population effort can again pick up momentum.
Yep.
Commies hate the freedom of speech.
2017 can’t come quick enough.
What a maroon!
He meant legitimacy, but he realized how it sounds so he changed it. Just like Hillary said “unfortunately” we have a 1st amendment that allowed someone to make a movie about Mohammed.
If he says stuff like this in public can you just imagine what they say among themselves in private? God save the Republic!
Yet we are supposed to take this clown serious.
Yes, I can and it’s horrible.
Is there a White House petition to ask for his resignation, yet.
The rationale was Kerry had invoked the Right to Be Stupid and it became a green light for terrorists to strike with impunity.
