‘I am opposed to self-defense’ – Macron says farmer had no right to kill a burglar who broke into his home - Despite France seeing a drastic increase in crime and murder, Emmanuel Macron said he believes that people do not have the right to defend themselves

Original, archive​

After a farmer shot a man who broke into his home, French President Emmanuel Macron said the French people do not have the right to self-defense, and the man should have instead let the police handle the incident.

Macron made his controversial remarks on Europe 1 news channel while broadcasting in Fourras, France, after learning of the news that a 35-year-old man from Longré, in the north of Charente, was indicted for murder after fatally shooting a 40-year-old man who broke into his home last Friday.

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.

When commenting on the matter, Macron said that he considers himself to be living in the “state of law.”

“Everyone must be safe, and the public authorities have to ensure it,” he declared while speaking on 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.

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.

With an eye on the upcoming election, Macron has attempted to paper over his flimsy record on security and crime, with the leader highly unpopular with police officers.

“This is also why I decided to create 200 gendarmerie brigades to be more present on the ground in rural areas,” Macron said during his appearance on Europe 1.

Macron, despite essentially saying the farmer was wrong to defend himself, also said he did not want to fully comment on the details of the case.

“I’m not going to judge this news. I convey the rules,” Macron said.

After being indicted for “murder,” the farmer was released by police but placed under judicial supervision.

I don't speak French so I cannot get the French stats on the response time for their police force but I am going to use the Metropolitan Police in London.

The average response time to the highest priority police call is about 10 minutes.

Does his protective detail have a 10 minute response time?

If it's rural France I imagine it's probably way longer than that.

There was a case a few years ago in rural Canada where a farmer killed some injun home invader but the response times out there were measured in hours because it was like one officer every couple hundred square miles

Thanks to coddling, too many these days not only don't see it as a hazard, they don't even see it as possible. What with people like Macron giving them a literal license to offend against productive citizens for "social justice".

This was literally my problem arguing with these people. They interpret any sort of threat like that as so impossible, it is in the realm of Bigfoot, and you are a conspiritarded for even considering that not all humans are good and can be trusted.

What a sniveling little faggot. It's the right of every human being on this Earth to be able to defend themselves from aggressors. Especially from criminals. Don't give me that "is your property worth more than someones life?" bullshit eurocucks love to pull. How do you magically know the men that broke into your home is just there for your TV, and not there to murder you and rape your wife? Going to stand there and ask them? How is the state going to protect you once the crowbar impacts your skull? Got that 30 second GTA response time? I sure as hell don't.

Regardless, yes I do think my property is worth more than a thief's life. Someone's property is apart of someones life. They worked hours, days, and years to buy what they want and live comfortably. We only have one life, and we only have so much time. If you steal someone's shit you might as well be stealing away apart of their very life in my eyes. I'm not going to cry because some criminal wanted to take the easy way in their life and gets blasted by someone who actually contributes to society.

Hey Marcon get rid of your armed bodyguards if you don't have the right to defend yourself. They have no right to protect you if the common man doesn't either.

 

[Ow The Edge]

He's pissed off the unvaccined and now pissing on farmers and other people for wanting to defend themselves, can he really be reelected?

Never underestimate the will of the French people to surrender.

It's ironic, because I truly believe the inability for the left to get any kind of momentum for an assault weapons ban II (no pew-pew boogaloo!) or tighter gun control off the ground, even when a lib "success" is desperately needed to save cratering popularity, is that their "best" argument for gun control: That the average person can just rely on police for protection and there's absolutely NO realistic scenario where you'd be descended upon in public by 30 hostile actors wanting you dead, requiring you to have 30 rounds on-tap and be able to dispense them as fast as you can pull a trigger....... were utterly wrecked by the left's own support for defunding the police and encouraging BLM mobs to tear the first white kid they found while out rioting in Kenosha limb-from-limb.

They literally enabled the two things they said would NEVER happen when they pooh-pooh'd the concerns of armed citizens as fantasy and conspiracy... that an average Joe just minding his own business could in fact be targeted by a mob and no cops would come to his aid.... and don't even seen to be cognizant they did it even though it happened in front of all our eyes. .

It was cognitive dissonance during the riots. While Seattle was being overrun by armed ANTIFA fags, the reason it never left Seattle was because everyone else was heavily armed and ready to shoot falls on completely deaf ears to people.

It's in more countries than France. "You didn't know what their intentions were when they were chopping down your door screaming they will kill you!" - actual case from a prosecutor in Europe. The old man got two years in prison for shooting them with his shotgun.

If someone violently invades your home and gets fucked up by whatever is around by the occupant that is self defense. Doesn't matter if a head is caved in by a frying pan or if a bird round hit someone in the skull.

@Oppressed By Corn Flakes There's also the odd leftist belief that to envision something is to desire it.... much like how they think to show bad behaviors in fiction is to somehow endorse them.

If you have a gun for self-defense, you don't hope it never comes down to having to use it, they think you lust for the chance to kill another person, so badly that you become a threat yourself.

There are no innocent motives among wrongthinkers after all...

I'd like to ask them if their homes have smoke alarms - "Why? You WANT it to burn down?!"

Of if they have collision coverage on your car - "Why? You WANT to get in a traffic accident?!"

Or have a box of Band-Aids in the medicine chest - "Why? you WANT to cut yourself?!"

It makes no sense, but, that's a galaxy-brain for you.

Out in the middle of rural farmland adds at least another hour to that response time. This is the problem with silver spoon faggot politicians that have never lived more than a 10-minute drive from a CBD, they think that "just call the police, the station is only a few blocks away" is some universal truth for everyone living in their country.

This is part of the plan to make it impossible for regular people to live rurally

 

[LaxerBRO]

That the average person can just rely on police for protection and there's absolutely NO realistic scenario where you'd be descended upon in public by 30 hostile actors wanting you dead, requiring you to have 30 rounds on-tap and be able to dispense them as fast as you can pull a trigger

My response to this was much simpler?

Why do cops that are trained with guns need 30 rounds?

 

[Toolbox]

France will blow over like a deck of cards if any actual war comes their way.

Eventually, people are just gonna start burying the bodies and not calling the cops.

"What? I didn't get burgled. I would've called someone if I had, just like I'm supposed to."

 

[Getwhatyou]

This isn't America you raging mongoloids. You can't blow away people because they questioned whether your lifted truck was a direct reflection of how small your dick is.

Exactly, we Americans need to get used to getting anally violated by packs of feral muslims like our Eurocuck superiors have to. That's the only really civilized option.

 

[Fomo Hoire]

He's pissed off the unvaccined and now pissing on farmers and other people for wanting to defend themselves, can he really be reelected?

Letting the farmers die is all part of the plan. He can go full Venezuela and buy votes with tendies extra rations.

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

This just means if someone breaks into a French home, the owners don't report the break-in to the police & just dispose of the body in trash bags.

Good job, idiot, you've just taught people to act like serial killers.

Just to add an aside to this,

Most (metro) agencies have priority levels for calls. Some of them have as many as twelve. Here at least, anything P4 or under can take 4-12 hours to respond to and that's within city limits. Now imagine you have this faggot telling you to sit tight for 4-12 hours while other faggots strip you of your hard earned possessions because it may not be a "violent burglary" and therefore not a high enough priority to immediately dispatch an Officer.

"What? I didn't get burgled. I would've called someone if I had, just like I'm supposed to."

sounds good in theory but in practice there are cartels. you're the body they're burying cause the cops aren't around.

France: Where feral Muslims break into your house, eat your food, and rape your toddler and your response is, "Well, at least I drive an economy car and my dick is within one standard deviation of normal!"
