Bloody world has got to pot

Sounds like they are on the run across Paris. Crazy.

[Steven Toast]

Absolutely mental. Sounds like they've managed to get away as well.

[Shuto Makino]

Totally crazy. Frightening.

[Ray Winstone]

Mental.

[Walter Sobchak]

I always buy Charlie Hebdo when I'm in France.

This is an absolute outrage, an attack on free speech. What more can we say other than to condemn and stand beside those who speak up for freedom of expression? Killed for ripping the pish out of medieval cretins. Unreal.

Photos emerging of a them shooting at police.

[Chrambo]

2 policemen dead.

Also, 3 police men on push-bikes arrived first to the scene but left when they saw how heavily armed they were..

[Zizou]

It's only a matter of time before something like this happens in Britain.

They seem to have these lone ranger types all over the place ready to sacrifice themselves.

they were wearing bulletproof vests. dicks.

How do you even counter this sort of thing? It's just getting worse. Can't understand how these people believe they have the right to censor the globe.

[Walter Sobchak]

Sharia Hebdo. 100 lashes if you don't die laughing.

Saw a video earlier, like something out of a film

I have to say that I don't find that funny. The big nose is unnecessary too.

Would probably have gone completely unnoticed if it wasnt on the front cover.

Is this what the attack was apparently over? Mental.

Obviously it's a waste of time reasoning with fanatics, but Charlie Hebdo satirises pretty much all political sides. Even in that picture there's a wee dig at fundamentalist Catholics too.

[PHOODLE-OUt]

Hope every paper runs that cartoon on their front page tomorrow

[Zizou]

Sure that was a few years back and the place got firebombed for it.

French government saying they've thwarted numerous terrorist attacks in the last few weeks.

Terrible.

[CritchSmile]

it says "mahomet" in the top right hand corner. I assume they are depicting the prophet?

Surely after the Danish incident they would have alerted the police about what they were running on their front cover?

The nose is part of their style, rather than a racist dig, and this was the cover in response to the coming to power of an islamist in Tunisia, a country with very close links to France.

This was in 2011. They were firebombed and have faced numerous threats.
