If only the governments wouldn't use this "attack on free speech" to umm...restrict free speech. If the terrorists change your way of life, they've won. I thought the whole point of the march was to say that "We are not afraid! And we'll continue to be just as free as ever! Your violence will not scare us!" - and so on.
But nope. Apparently what it meant is that we need more censorship and self-censorship caused by increased and more intrusive mass surveillance:

If the alternative to once in a while terrorist attacks is turning every democracy into Russia or China, then I'd rather stick with the risk of terrorism.
