PARIS (AP) — As if to prove that pens are mightier than swords, cartoonists around the world reacted to the cold-bloodied assassination of their colleagues at French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo as only they can: with powerful drawings worth thousands of words.

Defiant, angry, poignant, irreverent and sobering, their drawings united cartoonists in grief, tried to make sense of the nonsensical, and sent a shared message: We must not, will not and should not be silenced. Some drawings touched such a nerve they made one want to both laugh and cry..........

Pretty soon, they’ll be calling them heroes...

[Gritty]

I don't see any more cartoons of a cartoonish Muhammad.

So, where is all the "not being silenced" being demonstrated...?

[deadrock]

When they dump political correctness, multiculturalism and allow citizens to purchase firearms for protection, be sure to start a thread.

Don't worry, no need.

There has been hugh sales of guns and ammo the last couple of years, even with the “PC” nonsense still around.

[deadrock]

The police don't even carry over there.

Where are you getting your info that Europeans are even allowed to buy guns and ammo? Certainly nothing for self defence.

[Biggirl]

The police over in France are not allowed to carry guns, you are right on that one.

I should have said “Americans” in the previous posts buying guns and ammo.

Sorry, fingers faster then a brain that is work to get rid of a bad cold.

[deadrock]

Unfortunately, Americans buying huge amounts of guns and ammo is not going to help disarmed Europeans.

So there is no evidence that there is a retreat from their determined slow march suicide.

Sorry to hear about your bad cold. I hate them. Have a good day.

[Biggirl]

Unlike over in Europe, when the jihadis come to cause trouble here in the USA, and they will, look for more armed Americans to take them out.

Take Cold-Eze now.
Works best if you can catch it
when it just starts.

Thank-you for the helpful information. God Bless.
