The Lesson of Charlie Hebdo [View all]

So two morons think that murdering the staff of a magazine they disagree with is the way to stop something that offends them.

45,000 - Charlie Hebdo average weekly circulation in 2013
7,000,000 - Charlie Hebdo circulation in a recent week after the killings

How's that strategy of stopping the free press working?
