Je suis Charlie

On January 7th, 2015, 12 people were killed in a satirical publications office name Charlie Hebdo. Terrorists attacked the building and the writers because there were drawings of their prophet Muhhamand, which the terrorists saw as offensive. One of the biggest issues of this is the suppression of the freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is one of the biggest freedoms that humans have, and these terrorists are the ones who took it away, along with the lives of the writers. #JeSuisCharlie is the saying that is exiting the mouths of many many people. It stands for "I am Charlie". Everyone saying these words stands for freedom of speech, and remembers the writers and police officers who were killed in this event. They live on through the people who say and write these words.
