IMO, they cross the line between being non-conformist free speech activists to being bigots often.
We see violent incidents like this all the often. People feel like society is somehow destroying them and they lash out. For example, a few years ago, there was a shooting in Montreal where a man who believed that feminists were holding him back, went to an all woman college and murdered a bunch of women. There are numerous other examples throughout history.
Unless the people responsible issued some type of statement to the contrary, I think it's too early to assume anything about the intent. If they went into Playboy magazine or something and shot the place up, I would be more inclined to think that it was just an anti-west type of attack, but in this case I think it is just as likely that the 2 guys went "postal" (hate answered with hate).
Obviously nothing justifies murder, but I am surprised that so many people are being supportive of the repugnant cartoons that this magazine makes.

This isn't about bullying, this isn't about some youths that are feeling that society is somehow destroying them.
This was far too well planned and coldly executed for that.
and the cartoons are irrelevant in terms of their content in a modern society where free speech and liberty trump everything.
I hate it when people make excuses for monsters like these people, or try to somehow justify their actions. There is no justification, no matter what the situation for mowing down a bunch of people with AK's that you've never met in your life.
No wait let me redact that, there is no excuse for the actions of these scumbags.
The world will be better off when they and their like minded buddies are removed from it. whether through a bullet between the eyes, or a permanent jail sentence.
Their back story is entirely irrelevant to me.
Being bullied is never justified for these kind of violent actions.
Its their poisoned ideology that leaves them outside of society, and being outside of society doesn't justify the actions.
Nor does following a extreme and poisoned version of a religion.
Sorry, no insult intended, but I really really got bristled by your post.
