Let's try this again.
The amount of vitriol, half-truths and outright nonsense being spewed in the last thread won't be happening here. It's closed and administration will be going through each and every post with a fine tooth comb. Some accounts are going into the ether. Don't bother PMing to "explain" your position. That shit was shameful.
This cowardly killing was a horrific act of terror. People are angry, hurt, scared. That's fine. What's not fine is using it as an opportunity to spew racist, jingoistic, prejudicial crap under the cover of "this is what these people do".
There will be an adult discussion in here. The events deserve nothing less.

* Two masked gunmen dressed in black and armed with Kalashnikovs entered the offices, in the 11th arrondissement, at 11.30am on Wednesday and opened fire on an editorial meeting. Twelve people were killed in the attack, including eight journalists and two police officers.
* French authorities are hunting for the suspects, who fled the scene in one car before hijacking another. There are reports of a raid in Reims.
* Charlie Hebdo had come under attack before. Its offices were firebombed in November 2011, after which it published an issue it billed as being guest edited by the prophet Muhammad.
* Gunmen who attacked the magazine could be heard on video captured at the scene saying “Allahu akbar,” “we’ve killed Charlie Hebdo” and “we’ve avenged the prophet.”
* Those killed in the attack included the magazine’s editor, Stéphane Charbonnier, Bernard Maris, an economist and writer on the board of Charlie Hebdo; and three more cartoonists: Jean Cabu, Georges Wolinski and Bernard Verlhac, known as Tignous.
Carry on.
