    Hilarious! 2 people are dead. They may have been the gunmen but two human beings are still dead.

    "Not immediately clear that the shootings were related to the event", are you kidding me?

    You think these two gunman care about human life?

    Whenever I hear of gunmen killed by shooting I think it's such a pity, why weren't they captured and fed through a cheese grater over a few days. Or tortured a lot in some other way. Anything but a quick death.

    Wow I never thought I'd see the day. There you have it folks - some people will defend absolutely anything to win the award of Board's most "right-on" liberal.

    I hope they died the slowest and most painful death possible.

    Yes. Because I think terrorists should be eliminated, I am just as bad as them training guns and bombs on innocent men, women and children.

    He's as bad as two crazed gunmen who opened fire on innocent civilians? What a strange comment.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,455 ✭✭✭tritium


    Those gunmen sound lovely but misunderstood. The folks holding the conference sound lovely too. Can we put them all on an island together, far away from normal society. Maybe give them guns there too...

    Just to be clear, not a fan of terrorists - the cops did good here. But also not a fan of wishing people a slow cheese graterry death.

    Seriously, are you for real? Two people rock up to a public event intent on killing as many people as possible and you're worried that they both got shot. You really need to live a day in the real world. Bleedingheartsville is booked out for the night.

    Security guard out of hospital, and no other casualties bar the gunmen? Sounds like a good outcome.

    Steer away from Texas and Russia, Islamic extremists. Stick to the soft underbelly of Western Europe.

    "They're human beings" has to be one of the lamest, empty, last resorts of an argument in this context. They're homosapiens like us. Well so fucking what ?

    Some things, very few people would even attempt to defend.
    Having said that, it would not have been the end of the world if the nutbags inside were thinned a bit. Maybe the cops should have held back for a few mins.






    Please don't hit me.

    Kind of pointlessly provocative event mind, lets all have an event to display the controversial cartoons that have caused mayhem in the past and while we are at it we'll try and draw some more. Its right up there with the Westborough Baptists for most stupid application of the first amendment. I'd say the attendees were a lovely bunch.

    Nonsense. No cartoon has ever caused mayhem. People rioting, burning, shooting & stabbing those they disagree with have caused mayhem. If you dislike a cartoon, novel, film etc & pick up a weapon in response then the responsibility for the consequences are with you, not the cartoonist, novelist or filmmaker. Regardless of what one may think of Geller et al the only doors at which blame should be left for this incident are those of the two gunmen & anyone who incited them to attack the event. Freedom of speech means nothing unless it includes the right to say things which others may choose to take offense at.

    So what do you do, uphold the amendment on the right to bear arms but not the one on free speech? How could America stand over censoring something like that and still call themselves the defenders of free speech. You can't have it both ways regardless of how distasteful a subject might be.

    Unless this is sarcasm the username is certainly apt.

    Some followers of Islam (and other religions too) are extremely sensitive about their beliefs !

    Its almost as if a little boy said the Emperor has no clothes and then their whole belief is in danger of collapsing.

    You would think that if you were truly confident in your beliefs then some lack of respect or insult would not have such over the top reactions.
