134. You just couldn't resist could you? Would your post mean less to you without the word "three"?

Your ONLY rationale (as far as I can see) for adding the word three was to make absolutely clear to all here at DU that you believe those who worked at the magazine were not innocents.

You could even believe that vileness and just left the word 'three' out and everything would be fine.

But you did that SOLELY to provoke a response. Sounds kind of like what the magazine did - publish something solely to get a response, no?

Add them to the three innocents who died on Wednesday: NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #1

The three innocents? wtf were the other nine? melman Jan 2015 #8

That person saved ALL of his outrage for the cartoons, and has expressed geek tragedy Jan 2015 #13

Bingo. trotsky Jan 2015 #61

So you're back to saying that the Charlie Hemdo victims deserved to be shot. (12 killed, but only 3 geek tragedy Jan 2015 #12

Oh Hell no, none of them deserved to die. This was unjustified brutality. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #16

then why the "three innocent victims" comment about Wednesday. 12 people were murdered. geek tragedy Jan 2015 #18

This was a horrible murderous act, none of the 12 victims deserved to be killed, much less harmed. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #20

Kind of interesting how you didn't answer the question. Act_of_Reparation Jan 2015 #51

Cartoons are not acts of war. n/t Yo_Mama Jan 2015 #70

You admittedly don't consider the other 9 people innocent, so phil89 Jan 2015 #154

Ah, I see what you mean; those three weren't involved in the cartooning itself arcane1 Jan 2015 #31

Right, thank you! NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #42

Were all 12 innocent? trumad Jan 2015 #43

Innocent of what? NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #152

Are rape victims who dress too sexy innocent or just victims? joeglow3 Jan 2015 #79

All rape victims are innocent regardless of their attire, or lack of it. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #98

Not gonna happen... SidDithers Jan 2015 #60

Who is 'they', and could you post something to back up that claim, which appears to be sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #74

The poster is attempting to see just how vile Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #77

Yup. And he's got his little defenders trying to tell us what he really meant... SidDithers Jan 2015 #83

"little defenders"? NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #147

That is the same poster that posted about how much they seemed to like Jamastiene Jan 2015 #105

I deleted a few and left the original ones that express my view, to keep it simple for you all. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #157

Or you were worried about getting voted off the island. Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #158

Several good DUer have been sending me PMs of support and warning. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #159

So you were in fact worried about getting voted off the island by those Bad DU'ers. Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #160

Why? I got the point, I'm sure others did also. Nine were directly targeted, three sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #84

The way I see it, three were murdered, nine were assassinated, ALL were innocent. n/t cherokeeprogressive Jan 2015 #47

I understand that. n/t cherokeeprogressive Jan 2015 #56

I guess then that three will be buried, and nine will have elementary schools named after them. nt Dreamer Tatum Jan 2015 #59

I have no idea what the conventions are for naming French elementary schools. cherokeeprogressive Jan 2015 #97

Well, there are lots of those around 'Terrorist Act or Mass Murder' eg. sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #73

But that's not what the poster actually said...nt SidDithers Jan 2015 #57

Then you didn't get the meaning of the post. Nine of the people murdered were the direct targets sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #75

Why isn't that clear? Curmudgeoness Jan 2015 #85

Nope- sounds like you missed all his victim blaming self deletes yesterday. bettyellen Jan 2015 #92

I'm addressing the comment in this thread. Not the only time I've seen people lamenting on sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #96

Well, then you are giving the poster the benefit of the doubt- but those who have full context.... bettyellen Jan 2015 #104

Yes, it's obvious that you're not affected by all this. BeanMusical Jan 2015 #153

LOL, no crime- but you're so ashamed of your words you need to backtrack and hide them? bettyellen Jan 2015 #155

Wow. I guess you haven't been reading many replies, bettyellen. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #156

the replies you self- deleted because you can't "stand with" them either? Funny little game.... bettyellen Jan 2015 #161

I don't get you, I don't get your apparent need to challenge me. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #165

Alert stalking? AgingAmerican Jan 2015 #114

Could be, and judging by the 'sources' it wouldn't surprise anyone. sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #117

It's pretty ironic, alerting because you disagree with another's POV.... NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #136

I don't think it even rises to the level of 'disagreeing' AgingAmerican Jan 2015 #142

Only those were innocent? Really? MineralMan Jan 2015 #40

That's why I asked. I would like some clarification. trotsky Jan 2015 #93
