News this week of a mass murder incident in the city of Paris stunned the world. The targets were staff members of a satirical magazine which published cartoons offensive to a religious group of fanatical muslims. After the killings, the three killers escaped into the city. This morning, they were found, and killed as they resisted French police.
The media of all types has gorged on the events, dominating their reporting as escalating events unfolded. Sadly, these innocent victims, although protected with limited resources, were not able to defend themselves from the attack by the killers who may have trained in Yemen by Al Queda fanatics.
This tragedy will have a long term impact on immigration in Europe, security measures, and public opinion as to national laws. Politicians will have much to answer for, especially when it becomes common knowledge that "no go" zones within France are a reality.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
