After a farmer was charged with murder for shooting a man after four burglars broke into his home, French President Emmanuel Macron said people should not have the right to self-defense.
Yes, really.
“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,” reports Remix News.
However, Macron responded to the story by asserting that the 35-year-old farmer had no right to defend himself or his daughter in such a manner.
“Everyone must be safe, and the public authorities have to ensure it,” Macron told Europe 1.
“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.
Presumably, the farmer should have just allowed the four burglars to ransack his home and potentially harm his young daughter without doing anything to intervene.
Macron insisted that the farmer should have called the police, who in many areas of France are already stretched to the limit thanks to criminal gangs of migrants youths being in a perpetual state of war with them.
“I’m not going to judge this news. I convey the rules,” said Macron, whose weak record on security and crime is under scrutiny.
... the race between Macron and his likely final round challenger Marine Le Pen, the comments will do his chances little good.
After being charged with murder, the farmer was released but will remain under judicial supervision.

The Bee?
Marine Le Penn just won the up coming election!
Très bien!
It is all about government control. Macron wants this poor farmer to depend on “the gov” for all his needs. He would outlaw pitchforks if the farmer decided to “fork” the intruders, because that would mean that the farmer had freedom to defend himself and would not have to ‘depend’ on macron. It is a simple principle.
This freaking POS, really is a POS.
Yep
Guns for me but not for thee.
incroyable
This guy, and his cronies in France, are America’s deep-state allies.
You should have nothing but contempt for both.
Sadly, no.
—”Marine Le Penn just won the up coming election!”
NB: this is usually a two-step election, almost always a runoff.
The old cliche is the french vote their heart in the first round and wallet in the second.
That said, not many are elected to a second term.
And yet he’ll win easily over Le Pen because like the U.S., France is corrupt and broken.
Imagine a boxing match where one boxer has his hands tied behind his back?
He’s way beyond a simple POS.
And, this is the approach that the London mayor has perfected — to the point of outlawing knives.
These are elites that have private security and couldn’t care less about the peasants.
As the US constitution says, your right to life is inborn — not something granted by any state or package of laws. That right includes killing others to protect your own. Yes, “taking life” to protect it. It’s reality. Ought to check it out occasionally.
Well, he is French, after all.
This stupidity could cost Macron his job on April 24th
Macron must have distributed Dominion voting systems throughout France.
That’s exactly what those A holes think. I wonder how much money is spent on his security? The rat 🐀 bastards.
