I was deeply affected by this attack, how scary is it to be a journalist nowaydays? How scary is it to defend rights, and freedom? It shouldn’t have to be that dangerous. Those people died, they will forever be missed, it is now our turn as the younger generation to keep fighting for this freedom and show these guys we don’t need guns to be stronger than them.
When is this going to stop ? I have been terribly affected by what happened in France in the past couples of days. I’m scared, I’m scared for my family, for my friends, for everyone. More than 10 journalists killed for drawing satiristical cartoons, policemen killed for defending their country and civilians killed for no reason. I am not going to express and write my opinions on this blog because that is not necessarily what it is for but FU*K!
There is thing group on Facebook «Melbourne French Team» which I am apart of, and they decided to create an event in Federation Square on Thursday night at 6pm to pay tribute. I was really pleased to see that more than 1000 people attended (according to «THE AGE» more than 5000 people came).
The next day, the newspapers application «Le Monde» pops up on my phone -again- saying people are being held hostage in Paris. Twice, at two different places in Paris, at the same time.
4:00am : I can’t sleep, I have another look at my phone and read that the terrorists have been shot dead.
