Je suis Charlie

[ShiftyNJ]

"Quand tu regarderas le ciel, la nuit, puisque j'habiterai dans l'une d'elles, puisque je rirai dans l'une d'elles, alors ce sera pour toi comme si riaient toutes les étoiles.
"In one of the stars, I will be living. In one of the stars, I will be laughing
And so it will be as if all the stars are laughing, when you look at the sky at night."

- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Je suis Charlie

[Viltans]

For an hour now, Eiffel Tower is off to honour the victims of the terrorist attack... That's the first time ever in our history that our good old iron lady is off to honour someone...

I went to the gathering with lots of others from my town this evening. We lit candles, we talked, we questioned, we were silent. The mayor came out, made a speech that was not audible because of the battering rain on our umbrellas and a rather sorry PA system. No matter : what his speech was saying was, it is time to stop fighting HATE with HATE, and to start using LOVE as a weapon... Wishful thinking? I hope not. In any case, we all felt united in the fact that our freedom of speech must not be removed. May you all go in PEACE!

Thoughts and prayers going out to the loved ones of those who were the victims of terrorism in France. And to the general public of France, I hope you are all able to rest easily soon, that the fear and madness will settle quickly.
