‘I am opposed to self-defense’ – Macron

Post by Bruenor »

Glad I don't live in a country where the criminals have more rights than the law abiding citizens (at least not yet)

According to the initial investigation, the farmer fired twice with a large caliber rifle at a group of four burglars, killing one of them. The self-defense shooting took place last Friday, between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., and the man was alone with his 3-year-old daughter at the time.
“But I am opposed to self-defense. It’s very clear and undisputable because otherwise the country becomes the Wild West. And I don’t want a country where weapons proliferate and where we consider that it’s up to the citizens to defend themselves,” said Macron.

The president said he wants the French to rely on the police and the gendarmerie to ensure their safety, however, critics have pointed to France’s deteriorating security situation, increase in murders, and sexual assaults. The existence of no-go zones in majority migrant neighborhoods where police fear to go has only fueled fears that France is unable to police a significant portion of its population.
After being indicted for “murder,” the farmer was released by police but placed under judicial supervision.

Not that I'd ever take advice from a sandwich cookie, but--- if they tell you who they are, believe them.

We all know for a fact that if someone was coming for him, that statement would be seen for the complete BS that it is.

Could not believe that crap when I read it earlier today. I hope the story is getting a lot of press in France and costs the joker this election.

No no, he is being totally 100% honest. he would not use self defense. He has zero need for self defense because he has an armed personal security force.

With most votes counted Sunday night, Macron had 27% and Le Pen had just over 24%. Hard-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon was third, missing out on the two-candidate runoff, with close to 21%.
28% could be your next leader?
Is that a mandate from the people?
