French Newspaper Attack
QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jan 9, 2015 -> 02:57 PM) I'm still trying to figure out how the Charlie shooters managed to stay on the run until now. The office shooting portion of Wednesday's attack took about 10 minutes by itself. Prior to that, they managed to stumble into the wrong address. Afterwards, they calmly drove off, but not before going out of their way to shoot the injured police officer. I'm not an expert in dealing with people walking around shooting things with an AK-47, but wouldn't those 10-15 minutes be enough for police in a city like Paris to get into position to at least follow the car as it drove off? I mean, I guess the surprise of the attack and the getaway car being there and ready could explain that. But jebus Christmas, this girl was holding people hostage in a store surrounded by law enforcement and helicopters. How did she get out?!?!? My wife's cousin lives in Paris and they are forcing everyone to remain indoors. She said it is crazy

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 9, 2015 -> 12:52 PM) Worth asking a question...let's say the Bears trade Cutler and go all-in on "rebuilding". What would have more use to the Bears, Marshall or a ~4th round pick next year in that case? Clearing out that cap space and adding a future pick could be the right move if they dump their QB without a replacement that can help them compete now. I question that another team would give up a 4th round pick for Marshall at this point.

Im not sad these guys are dead, but I wish they would have spent the rest of their existence in tiny cells unable to see the sky. They got what they wanted, what they did will be celebrated among the extremists.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 9, 2015 -> 08:06 AM) We do not publish pictures of a beheading yet we cover the story. I don't believe every magazine, newspaper, etc has to include the cartoon while covering the news. Alpha's point was you can't cover the story without also reprinting the cartoon. I disagreed. A lot of different news companies run those beheading videos with disclaimers. Its a choice the company makes, but it shouldnt be made because of what terrorists want

French Newspaper Attack
QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 05:47 PM) And you have knowingly signed up for a dangerous job. If you are the reporter at Vogue covering the Paris fashion scene does Vogue have the right to put your life in danger by publishing those cartoons? I'm discussing if another news organization decided to republish the materials. Alpha said that CNN and others were wrong for not publishing the cartoons. So my point is more does Vogue have the right to publish those cartoons and put their fashion reporters live's in danger? Alpha believes that CNN, Fox, etc should all publish the cartoon if they are reporting on the story. I disagree. I think those other groups could report the story without the cartoons and the added life risking implications they may cause. I agree if you are working for certain publications, you must understand the risks. Where do you draw the line? Every time a terrorist tells you he is offended by something then you refuse to acknowledge it?

French Newspaper Attack
The employer isn't necessarily putting them in danger. These cartoonists are drawing their own cartoons, they aren't being mandated to draw them. The newspaper has an identity, everyone knows what that identity is. People who work for TMZ know that they are dealing with the seedy side of Hollywood, people that work at Vogue magazine know they are dealing with fashion, people that work at hustler know they are dealing with porn, and the people at CH know that they deal with satire, and a lot of it has to do with religion. And it isn't the first time they have been attacked, everyone in that building understood the risks.
