Protestors pelted French President Emmanuel Macron with tomatoes during his visit to a market in a Paris suburb only one day after his re-election.

Because that would be un-chivalrous. Boys get to be rough and tumble with each other. Girls, however, are different.

I would hang Hillary with glee, but throw a tomato at her? What would my mother say?

Cherry tomatoes grow faster than the bigger ones. I.e. that is all they had this early in the growing season in the northern hemisphere.

The French need to ban high-capacity fruit baskets ASAP... and ghost peppers.

They just punished him by fenestration. Now they get to abuse him for the length of his term.
