President Macron Says He is “Opposed to Self-Defense” After Farmer Shoots One of Four Burglars Who Broke Into His Home

Tone deaf comments hurt presidential hopes just days away from first round.

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.

With the first round of the French election just days away and polls tightening in 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.

Is the other potential candidate any better?

I’m against people with dozens of bodyguards wielding submachine guns saying ordinary folk have no right to defend themselves and their property.

That elitist and those who think like him should lose all their protection and see what it feels like to be responsible for their own defense.

Proof: Another leftist idiot.

I was about to post something similar.

That an elitist national leader can casually dismiss a God given right, a natural right, because they have a well-trained well-armed security detail surrounding them and their family constantly for their protection, illustrates just how out of touch they are with the realities of the commoners they lead.

To deny a parent the ability to protect their home, their families, their children, and their possessions they work for is to deny their rights.

Just one more example of a world leader pushing for taking over citizens' right to defense and replacing it with dependence on inefficient unreliable big government protection.

I am certainly no authority on Marine Le Pen, but the media has been beating the drum that she is right up there next to Hitler, and all hell would break loose if she were in power.

I hope the people see through this propaganda. Anyone who disagrees with the media is ultranationalist/right wing/nazi.

I wish her luck.

“… criminal gangs of migrants youths….”

So the hundreds of thousands of African and Middle Eastern “youths” [code for adults allowed entry into Europe illegally] who you imported with little investigation as to the validity of their asylum claims are stealing the citizenry blind. And Macromoron is surprised and does not want folks defending yourselves.

I wonder if Putin attacked the correct country.

The burglars and the family of the one who was killed should sue President Macron for failing to protect them from the farmer, since that's what he apparently believes his job is.

Everything old is new again.

Exactly what I was thinking.... surely even the average French citizen can see how stupid this is.... perhaps they need another revolution.... and sharpen the blade on an old devise for 'King' Macron.....

Edit: dern it Para beat me to it....

It’s scary that people willingly vote these statists into power.

If the French use Dominion voting machines, LePen doesn't have a chance.

Viva la stupid

He’s a political coward.

I wonder if the mindset is that the bodyguards are defending him, as in like the police,
and if attacked etc, he would not be defending himself,

it's just that his police (personal police btw) are standing next to him,, vs miles away

What a sick and twisted thing to say/believe. What's next for them? Just open the jails and let everyone out? What deterrent is there? I know none, as the government wants only subjects. I am sure our "elites" want the same for us.

He actually said it. I thought the title was maybe paraphrasing or something, but no, that actually fell out of his mouth. Wow.

"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche'

Do the "migrant yoots" and other illegal invaders have voting rights in France, like they do in our own more progressive communities?

Be grateful fellers … He just sunk his own ship

I bet if they ran a poll in France, the majority would agree with Macron. I don't know why anyone would assume any other countries share our attitudes on self defense in general and guns in particular. Most countries want the government to have a monopoly on the use of force.
