2. Charlie Hebdo
Although we mentioned this particular name a few pages back, Charlie Hebdo is something we need to talk about again since it made it to the second place of this year’s top Google searches.
First of all, this is a name associated with a French satirical weekly magazine that features cartoons, reports, polemics, and jokes. They’re anti-racists, they’re atheists, support secular topics and the far left political wing. At the same time, free speech is, or it should be, a universal right, especially when it comes to the press.
That didn’t seem to matter on January 7, when two extremists entered the headquarters of the magazine, opened fire and killed members of the staff only to flee the scene and cause havoc in other areas as well.
