Free speech is very strong in Europe and deep rooted in the culture. You can say whatever you want, much more than in the US (we do not loose our mind when someone says tits or black - this is also free speech, not only amendments in the context of gov related speech). Charlie Hebdo paid a heavy price for this freedom (and while I do not like their style at all, I am deeply thankful to them). As for the property this is a disaster. A squatter breaks in your house, stays 48 hours and it is basically theirs. This is the case where I am really pro gun because this is delayed robbery. I think that some blood will be poured and only then our useless politicians may get off their ivory tower to do something then (in France we are close)
