Was he really under police protection ?
That's sad.
Back in history extremists started to burn books and ended up hanging the writers. Now it looks like people censor movies and then kill the movie makers.

This is a sad event indeed... besides, it supports all anti-immigrant opinions and benefits absolutely no one.
However, they may censor movies, burn books or even shoot poets, singers, movie makers, intellectuals and whatever - but they cannot kill the ideals behind these persons and their work.

He was not under police protection, because he refused that. Simply of the fact that this country WAS one where you could say what you think without one throwing a rock at you. These days it seems to become common to shoot somebody when somebody says something you do not like.
They caught the guy who did it, and i was not suprised..
