#biggest news this week
Exclusive Interview with ‘Charlie Hebdo’ Cartoonist Luz – “VICE News meets Luz, the surviving Charlie Hebdo cartoonist behind the magazine’s controversial Prophet Muhammad covers. Speaking with us in his sniper-proof Paris apartment, Luz describes the scene he witnessed after gunmen attacked the magazine’s offices, explains the ideas behind the magazine’s latest cover, and addresses the mixed reactions it has sparked. He also discusses how things can quickly spiral out of control when breaking taboos in the internet age, and offers his surreal sense of becoming an unwitting icon of free expression.” What a great guy, this interview made me cry so hard.

Quand les « terroristes » avaient de l’humour – “Le Mouvement du 2 juin, contemporain de la Rote Armee Fraktion, se distinguait essentiellement de celle-ci par son humour. N’hésitant pas à apporter des boîtes de chocolat aux vieilles dames témoins de leurs braquages de banques ou à s’échapper d’un tribunal au nez du juge et avec une barbe correctement taillée, ils refusaient absolument la militarisation de la lutte (qu’ils concevaient néanmoins armée).”
