I’m all for self-defense.
I don’t carry but I’m changing my mind...

You're Roman Catholic, right? Check out what your "Catechism of the Catholic Church" says about "legitimate defense". Then quit dithering.
Maybe we “crossed input in the ether”?
The statement I copied [I’m no fan of satirical writers or cartoonists who pursue ridicule and meanness for their own sake] appeared to be rather weak attack at “mean journalists” who ply their trade in a political world of jihad. The inclusion of “who pursue ridicule and meanness for their own sake” seems to whisper of an anti-first amendment consideration according to the US playground standard of “bullying”.
Yes, I know it is France but, even if a journalist champions communism, we are bound to, at a minimum, suffer such ignorance (not a slight to Teofilo but rather a slight to certain US journalists)
If Teofilo finds that an improper assessment, s/he has opportunity to defend [outside of the adhominem “troll” commen]. I just saw the included words to point to certain foreign journalists as “mean” which in today’s culture provides the first step to silencing opinion - - - even if that opinion is incorrect.
