God, I feel another deadly chill again . . .

Murder, terror, horror . . . what else is news.  Ugly attacks on free press again today in Paris, France.  Terror-horror. This time it is a massacre of a satirical magazine's finest talent.  One would say someone (?) has no sense of humor, nor do they have any tolerance for the non-religious among us. 

To me, religious fanaticism is in need of some medication.  Seriously.  Either throw them in a rubber room or shut them up for good.  This is insane.  From The Guardian:

A huge manhunt is under way in Paris for three masked and hooded men armed with a Kalashnikov and a shotgun who stormed the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people – including two policemen – before escaping in a car.

Visiting the scene of the country’s worst atrocity in decades, the French president, François Hollande, described it as “a terrorist attack, without a doubt”. Hollande said the assault, which happened at about 11.30am on Wednesday after the magazine’s staff had gathered for their weekly editorial meeting, was “an act of exceptional barbarism”.

Warning that several other attacks had been foiled in recent weeks, the president called for national unity and convened an emergency cabinet meeting. The French government raised the terror alert level in the greater Paris region to the highest level possible.

Five of the victims have been named, including four Charlie Hebdo journalists: editor Stéphane Charbonnier and cartoonists Jean Cabut, Georges Wolinski and Bernard Verlhac. AFP reported that Bernard Maris, an economist and writer who contributed to the magazine, was also killed.

Needless to say, in solidarity with all freedom of speech around the world and back again. #JeSuisCharlie
