    RIP. Another needless victim of radical Islam. Hopefully the journal won’t censor my condolences this time around.

    @Brendan

    Was he ethnic French? Or was he some other ethnicity? With a different ethnic and cultural view and thus different outlook regarding the territory of France and westerners in general?

    So we can comment on this story even though someone has been arrested and charged. The Journal policies are fickle at best.
