The shocking act of terrorism is aggravated by the idiocy of masses appearing to equate the commendable value "freedom of expression" with the arrogance to advertise someone else's most holy relic as "SHIT":
Really, what did they expect? A pat on the back? Wake up: the people you have so gleefully offended are not young facebook-warrior liberals, but war-hardened fanatics. Is it surely the best idea to insolently insult them where it hurts the most?
You can, but it is possible that they will come back to you on that. And just like you did not ask them how they agree with your selected methods of insult, they may not be much interested on how you agree with theirs.
And who said that killing is the prerogative of some people, and not of others? Just a single example, what the US-led allies did in Kuwait, bombing a convoy ESCAPING from the warzone:

And this particular destruction is a hardly noticeable fraction of all the casualties from recent western interventions around the globe, e.g. over 1 million CIVILIAN deaths in the second Iraqi war only. Or the attacks on Libya, where France assumed it has full licence to fire at will. Or the ongoing brutal civil war in Syria, incited and sustained by west-sponsored terror armies, for three years and counting.
The people who survive these brutal interventions (e.g. the children of those killed) may remain "unconvinced" of the greatness of the western civilization. And may remain prepared to demonstrate their discontent. May even have nothing to lose. And may be inclined to spread the word.
Are you really surprised now to face some consequences? Especially after further relentless, insulting provocation?
What goes around comes around. Politicians have to be genuinely irresponsible to disregard that. Or genuinely stupid, not to understand it. And instead babble on about the irrelevant topic of "freedom of expression".
And all those "Je suis Charlies" out there. It is nice that you are trying to support victims. But instead, what you are in fact doing is claiming exclusive right for yourself to insult and to massacre. This is not at all nice.
By advertising "Je suis Charlie", you are not only testifying your support for extreme stupidity and arrogance of western civilization, but also demonstrating its hopelessness to understand what is wrong with such behaviour.
Condolences to the victims and their families, who had to learn all this the hard way.
As for the rest of us, let us learn from their mistakes.
One good start is removing your "Charlie" identity.
