Gunman Amedy Coulibaly rushed the store, shot and killed four people, and took several others hostage. One employee rushed near-by people into the cold room including a three year old and one-month year old baby.
The group's representative, Patrick Klugman, singled out BFMTV after the station revealed the whereabouts while the hostage situation was still underway. Klugman said;
"The working methods of media in real time in this type of situation were tantamount to goading someone to commit a crime."The group argues that announcing their location on live TV during the shooting put their lives into greater danger, especially considering Coulibaly was watching his crime's coverage on multiple stations and was in constant contact with BFMTV reporters.
"The lawsuit charges media outlets with endangering the lives of others by deliberately ignoring security protocols, which carries a maximum penalty of a year in prison and 15,000-euro ($16,300) fine."It's a hard situation to take a position on considering that, while these people were in great fear of their lives, does that justify limiting what the press should or should not be allowed to publish in the way of information?
That's all I have to say today, but I'll be back tomorrow.

Hello, I know my comments have had an upscale amount of emotion lately. But now I realize I shouldn't display these emotions online or in the world. I should only display these emotions to you in person. So await my meeting with you. May you sleep well young intelligent prince.
