shooters attack and kill journalists at French satirical newspaper

[Lynn49]

They were caught because they left I.D. in the getaway car they abandoned. Wonder if it was on purpose. Also wondering if the french want to reconsider the guillotine about now.

Lol...a pretty swift and relatively painless way to die I think, Patty..much too good for them I say tie them to a chair, invite the relatives of the deceased in with whatever weapons they care to bring with them, so the bottom-feeders can experience begging for their lives like that police officer did.

The guillotine was named after the French deputy who proposed the use of the device in 1789. It was tested on corpses at the Bicetre Hospital in Paris, and employed by the French Revolution in 1792. It was introduced as a swift and painless device — as Joseph-Ignace Guillotin believed — to extend to all citizens the advantages of a technique used only on noblemen. Although people believe that Guillotin invented the device, it had been used in Italy, Germany, France and Scotland in the 16th century. Guillotining was considered more humane because the blade was sharper and execution was more rapid than accomplished with an axe. Death occurs due to separation of the brain and spinal cord, after transection of the surrounding tissues. This must cause acute and possibly severe pain. Consciousness is probably lost within 2-3 seconds, due to a rapid fall of intracranial perfusion of blood.
There are accounts of the eyes looking around from the severed head, and animals may do this when they are guillotined for experiments in which their organs are to be excised or their brain biochemistry is to be examined rapidly.

From what I understand, they've been identified, but haven't been caught yet. Hopefully that changes soon.

NBC was reporting one of them had been killed. I have seen no other accounts of that.

He'll probably say he didn't fire a shot. Maybe he'll be shot while trying to escape and save the survivors years of dragging this through the courts. What a coward.

Darth....ewwwww. Okay, then they're welcome to an inexperienced guillotine operator with a rusty blade.

news comes out so quickly now with social media and other sources. i think that the news reporters don't always check their information as closely as they used to. it seems that everything happens so quickly and they're so eager to report the news before it gets out on twitter or some other format that more misinformation gets reported to avoid being 'scooped'.

According to the video on the CNN report, they aren't even sure about the 18 year old. His classmates were saying that he was in class today and has been falsely accused, so he may have turned himself in to clear things up.
I just hope they are all caught soon without any more violence.

see my previous post.
we have to take all the information with a grain of salt until there is real confirmation of anything.
