Organizers had asked for a silent vigil, but some protesters chanted "Justice for Ilan" or carried banners with slogans such as "No to a racist France" or "Ilan tortured, France wounded." Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old cellphone salesman, was abducted on Jan. 21 by members of a gang who held him hostage in a Paris suburb for three weeks while demanding ransoms from his family. He died en route to hospital on Feb. 13 after he was found lying beside some train tracks, naked, handcuffed and covered with burn marks. http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2006/02/26/france-jews-060226.html?ref=rss Never, hardly ever, once in a while, the new normal? Deny, rationalize, deny, denial, guiltless?
