Free Speech

In light of the recent massacre at Charlie Hebdo magazine, I am republishing the Jyllands-Posten Mohammed cartoons. Apparently one of the twelve - the one most often shown, with Mohammed's turban really a bomb with a lit fuse - has violated Photobucket's terms of use. The other 11 are still present on my Photobucket account. More than 100 people were murdered in rioting over these cartoons, which makes them newsworthy and in the wake of Charlie Hebdo, politically relevant. Shame on Photobucket for removing the most recognizable of the cartoons (and thanks to Instapundit for keeping a copy online).

Don't like it? Offended? Then write a comment. Or Tweet something. Or write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Make a speech. Or call me an asshole to my face. That is all free speech, and that's how we do it in civilized society.

But fair warning: Wanna get violent? Wanna get medieval? Bring it, because I am not Charlie Hebdo - if you come after me with violence, I turn into the Angel of Death.
