We are, along with the rest of the world, shocked and disgusted at the brutal, senseless attacks against Charlie Hebdo in France today. There are wonderful commentaries that say things much more eloquently than I ever could, so we’ve instead decided to feature the photos, thoughts and reactions from around the world that exemplify the outrage and, ultimately, the hope from those in the world who value free speech.

A Former Editor Of “The Onion” Responds
Joe Randazzo, former editor of The Onion, wrote on MSNBC.com, that writers and satirists must resist censoring themselves out of fear.
“This is radical ideology taken to an abhorrent new low. The footage and photographs that have so far emerged depict several armed men, dressed in tactical black. It looks like a highly organized attack, but an attack, ultimately, on what? An idea? You cannot kill an idea by murdering innocent people — though you can nudge it toward suicide.
That is the real threat: that we’ll allow our fear, or our anger, to kill ourselves.”
