Using a dead kid to make a point is a bit over he top, even for Charlie Hebdo.

With freedom of speech you take the good with the bad. Je suis Charlie. I stand behind their right to offend regardless of their stance.

Agreed, speak away fellow countrymen and citizens of the world. If I don't like what you are saying, I am free to say so, and to free to turn my attention elsewhere.

That doesn't mean they are immune from criticism. I'll tolerate it, but Charlie Hebdo is second-rate shock humor, imo.

It's just what Chralie Hebdo has been doing for years; they piss off everyone, left, right, atheist, religious, doesn't matter (as they should do. Freedom of speech and all, you know). So no, for Charlie Hebdo this is not over the top. This is rather mild.

Kill yourself. If you're so cowardly and weak that a comic about a dead kid you don't know somehow offends your fragile little paper skin glass bone feelings, then the world will be hard for you and I recommend you just off yourself before you get blinded by how bright the outside world is.
A kid died then, just like they do all the time; nobody but propaganda sensitive idiots gives two shits about it just because they actually saw it this time. You don't have to find it funny, but if you're so emotionally immature that a grid of pixels can hurt you, you won't be able to handle the real world, and you'll either force yourself to hide in your room all the time to escape it, or it will destroy you.
Btw, about 5 children probably died while you were reading this. But it's no big deal because no cameras were pointed at them. Now it's 6.

I don't mind reading your opinion but getting personal about it is trollish.

Indeed, there is enough to mock in the current situation in Europe without stooping to this level.
