Or their "inner life" Vs. REALITY or whatever, regarding the atrocity in Paris.
I watched the interview with one of the murdered satirists - cartoonist? - on Sky News ; he seemed like a pleasant bloke...so...the satirists go to their work, much like office workers, and they do their stuff. Their business is to mock "important" figures and world events in a clever way.
With the fire bombing a few years ago, surely they must have questioned the sheer peril of their "work" as they sat at their desks or drawing boards...? Or NOT...? Could they not quite accept the reality of their dreadful situation? It's like the Wild West or Mafia wars or something. Did the police have two guards on the building?
Hence, if you were in a similar situation, under such a terrible threat, would you take a gun to work?

It will be the usual PC BS.
Even if the cartoonists did have guns (in this fantasy world) the Islamic attackers were obviously well trained in the use of firearms and basic military tactics. What chance do the residents of Sleepyville have? |
