On 7 January 2015, two masked gunmen armed with Kalashnikov rifles, a shotgun, and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher stormed the headquarters of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris. They shot and killed 12 people, including nine Charlie Hebdo employees and two National Police officers, and wounded 11 others. The attack was an act of Islamic extremism and while that represents an extremely small portion of Islam, the attack was particularly violent and has me sick to my stomach (from a weird morbid curiosity to know the details, of all things).

The remaining staff of Charlie Hebdo have announced that publication will continue, with next week's edition of the newspaper to be released next week as usual. With eight pages it will be half its usual length and will have a print run of one million copies, compared to its usual 60,000.



I found this particular image to be especially moving, and is why I created this journal. Ideas are bulletproof.
