In places without freedom such as making fun of a Muslim in the French comic——
Charlie Hebdo
On 7 January 2015, at about 11:30 a.m. CET local time, two French Muslim terrorists and brothers, Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, forced their way into the offices of the French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Armed with rifles and other weapons, they killed 12 people and injured 11 others.
In the US we have freedom of speech. (That’s a punchline, so laugh.)😡 🤬
Some time later, a world support effort was organized to protest these murders and for freedom of expression by light shows of the French Tri Color. Almost every national capitol did it EXCEPT Washington! This was after the Obamas had upgraded the White House exterior lighting for colors. They showed that off with the 'rainbow' when the Supremes nixed the Marriage Act but for this terrorist attack, the Obamas could not be bothered! So simple, so easy but not interested.
There was also an invitation by Paris and the French Government for world leaders to walk by that building in solidarity against terrorism. The US Rep was the Ambassador to France. Most other countries sent their leaders or significant substitutes. Could it have been that Barrack was worried that Joe might take a wrong turn even then?
