Blaming the Victims

80-year-old co-founder of Charlie Hebdo, Henri Roussel, blamed editor Stéphane Charbonnier for the terrorist attacks: "What made him feel the need to drag the team into overdoing it."

Overdoing it. Going too far. Her skirt was too short so she deserved to be raped. This kind of thinking is despicable.

But, then, sounds like even the Pope thinks that way: “One cannot offend, make war, kill in the name of one’s own religion, that is, in the name of God. … if Dr. (Alberto) Gasbarri, a great friend, says a swear word against my mother, then he is going to get a punch. But it’s normal, it’s normal. One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people’s faith, one cannot make fun of faith.” (Via Nice Deb)

The future does not belong to people with big chips on their shoulders.
