So much suspense.  What will happen next?

[Thork]

All the terrorists will kill themselves and be granted 72 virgins each in the afterlife. Same as always.

[Thork]

"More than 80,000 personnels are now on the ground to tackle the two hostage situations in Dammartin and porte de Vincennes, according to the French interior ministry."

Yup, great day to rob a bank.

It's time for big daddy America to move in, occupy that place, and protect it with the iron fist of democracy. Obviously France cannot take care of themselves, and as the world becomes more and more violent due to sand people and crazies they are going to need all the protection they can get.

They probably should arm some small extremist faction to fight the IS too.

They already do that.

I feel like it has been awhile since they have done it though.  We need more of that.

You are aware sand people and crazies flew 2 aircraft into the twin towers and one into the pentagon in 'Big Daddy America' and America did absolutely nothing to prevent it? Maybe America needs looking after?

Why are you so sure that that attack was carried out by real sand people? There's a lot of evidence suggesting that 9/11 was an inside job.

"If America didn't want the WTC blown up, they should not have engaged in such aggressive foreign policy"

Classic victim-blaming. 

[Vindictus]

And then there's this asshole.

I like how the writer calls an MQ-4C a 'freedom machine'. Those things are surveillance drones, they don't carry weaponry.

Looks like it's all over, GIGN raided both buildings within minutes of one another and reported the death of the perpetrators shortly afterwards. Quite a few interesting details coming out (if they're true) like someone informing on the terrorists from inside the hostage situation by hiding in a box. It's disappointing they ended up getting the martyrdom they wanted, these scumbags should have received a trial and rotted in jail.

What? You'd rather they sit around wasting good money keeping them alive? Ew.

Yes. They didn't deserve martyrdom, even though they received it by being turned into swiss cheese. I'd happily pay to see them exist, and watch as Hebdo not only survives but thrives.

I, on the other hand, don't care what they did/didn't want. What they think about themselves is meaningless. This kind of thinking is why movie killings are always drawn out and annoying. "I want to make sure this guy knows I'm about to kill him and for what reasons!" Shit don't matter, yo, guys gonna be dead in the end anyway.

I would also not want them to have a chance of spreading sedition in prison.  They were put down, just like any dangerous animal should be.

I'm glad to see that there aren't any politicians or other public figures apologizing to the Muslim world for the cartoons themselves, as if their archaic rules about never depicting Mohammed or jeering at Islam have a shred of moral legitimacy to them, or are in any way compatible with a free society.  At least, I haven't heard of any apologies.

[Rushy]

Most orthodox religions should be reclassified as hate crimes/cults. Freedom of religion or speech doesn't (or shouldn't) cover the incitement of violence or laws which clash with the government. E.g. it should be a crime if you actively promote reading material which says you should stone your daughter to death or some other such nonsense.

Freedom of religion means you should not be bothered for what you believe in, it doesn't apply to physical things you're actually doing.

You're a dirty communist.

[Rushy]

It's a pipe dream, anyway. Any politician that suggests anything remotely like what I just said would best case never be voted in again and worse case murdered almost immediately after saying it.
