Foreign Policy: On-Line Calls For Cartoonists To Be Assassinated

It's a pretty self-explanatory article: here. It's also fairly terrifying, as lone wolf, freelance operatives doing this kind of thing seems a more plausible scenario for the US than the kind of operation that took place in Paris in January. I hope police and all affected officials take each one seriously. The moment we cross into murder and threats of murder I wonder if it might help us to treat these squarely as their own thing rather than an admittedly dire extension of free speech and political arguments across a spectrum of ideas. Mostly, I hope no one dies.
