You know why people are not giving a single s%#t about slaughters in, let's say, Africa? Because we do not have power there. We live in European Union, and we are connected - politically and also territorally.
What can we do? Send troops there?

P.S. We do care about those massacres, but we can't fix their problems. We can try to fix those problems in Europe.

Hi Yzreel. This is my honest opinion on it, so please do not judge.

Context : 18 year old Romanian lad senior year high school.


Charlie Hebdo made fun of everything and everyone, their caricatures in the early days were quite good but they got to new heights when they first started mocking religion. And now they play the victim, what a sharade. Muslims have a hard time living everywhere unless we are talking muslim majoritary countries.


The fact that other countries already mocked muslims was not cool either. Why should we mock their belief when we know how aggresive they can get thanks to their Holy Book's teachings (Coran). Funny thing is the French did not learn anything from the previous encounters the other countries had : We all know 19/11 and the 7/7 bombers. Since, everyone started calming down on this matter, but true to Charlie Hebdo's nature, they had to make fun of it.


So here it goes. As I said, funny thing is that everyone looks at Charlie Hebdo as being the victim, and many people are going outside the streets, mourning the 4 dead and the poiliceman, but when you come to think of it, why did nobody do the same at the happenings of the Nigerian massacre? They are considered as a francophone country as well... but oh wait, they are black.


Right, racial integrity one might say, but this has racism written all over it. Thousands of men, women and children butchered sadisticaly, and almost nobody knows, while 4 people shot in France become a headline everywhere around the world. Racism, pure and simple. Why would people care about the ones that were slaves throughout the history.


Charlie Hebdo stroke a match... inside a propane mine. They had it coming, but it feels mostly like a big trick here. Why you might ask? Who on God's earth goes out with the intent to slaughter people but LEAVES THEIR ID CARDS IN THE CAR THEY DROVE THERE? And when they found the first guy praying, one cop ran in, shot him, then 3 flashbangs came in just to make sure he's dead... the mediatisation, this seems like cheap propaganda.


There's more to this one, more than we can understand. Could be some political interests. I heard about some voting in France going on that got heavily influenced by the events because people were stilled and frightened.

unless you mean it it the way of, they could have kind of expected it.
