Yes, the reaction is very telling when you compare it to Norway's reaction after the Utøya massacre last summer. Perhaps the difference is that Norway's terrorist attack was by a local - but it seems to me that there is a cultural difference here in how we react to these events. Just look at the knee-jerk reaction blaming everything from rap music to computer games whenever there is a school shooting in the US. These knee-jerk laws are a huge problem for democracy.

Please, don't mix up the "French" with their (our) president ...
Many French people disagree with the "always-in-the-moment" laws of the president. So please, don't try to see a cultural thing where it is not.
