I’ve never heard of someone getting convicted within 2 days of committing a crime, no matter what evidence there is against him.

RT:

A French court has sentenced Damien Tarel, the man who slapped the country’s President Emmanuel Macron, for 18 months, with 14 of them suspended. The man also faced other penalties.

The 28-year-old suspect appeared before court on Thursday. The hearings are heavily fast-tracked, coming only two days after the slapping incident. Tarel stands accused of an assault on a public official, with the offence carrying a maximum of three years in jail and a hefty fine of up to €45,000.

The fearless slapper is a BASED historical cosplayer

The prosecutors, however, have asked the court to slap Tarel with a real 18-month jail term rather than impose a fine on him, as well as to hit him with other penalties.

“I am not asking for a fine, but I am asking you to consider imposing on him a permanent ban on holding public office,” a prosecutor told the court as quoted by BFM TV.

The court was also asked to ban the man from voting for five years, as well as to bar him from owning firearms during the same period.

Earlier in the day, the defendant explained his actions were politically motivated, telling the court that Macron, in his opinion, embodied the “decay” of France, and that the sneaky attack was the only way to get to the president.

“I think that Macron represents very neatly the decay of our country,” he told the court. “If I had challenged Macron to a duel at sunrise, I doubt he would have responded.”

Is that really an “opinion”?

Or just an objective fact of reality?

Would Macron himself even argue that he isn’t causing the decay of France, or just say that this is good, because it will end racism?

The slapping incident occurred on Tuesday, when Macron was visiting the department of Drome in southeastern France. The president approached a crowd of onlookers in the village of Tain-l’Hermitage, apparently seeking to shake hands with the people – as he came straight up to the suspect.

Tarel was holding Macron by one hand as he slapped him with another one, footage of the incident that immediately went viral shows. The suspect also shouted the royalist slogan “Montjoie Saint Denis” and “Down with Macron-ism” as he slapped the president.

It was a light slap.

It was not an assault, but simply an attempt to humiliate, and to send a message.

One of the problems with democracy is that people have things forced on them against their will by a totally unaccountable government and they have no ability to voice any opposition to what is being forced on them. Never before in all of history has there been a system of government where the population had no options at all for stating disagreement with dictates being forced on them.

No one supports slapping, but you have to ask: in a system that doesn’t allow citizens to petition the government at all, and where the government has carte blanche ability to force the population to do egregious things against their will, how do you expect people to respond?

Of course, the answer is they expect people to just lie there and take it, as that is the values of democracy.

At some point, we are going to ask if a system this oppressive, where the masses of people have no input at all on the way the government functions, is sustainable long-term. At some point, the masses will become fed-up with the lack of freedom and brutal oppression of democracy, and instead of one angry slapper, you will have millions of angry slappers, demanding that they have some say in the way the country is run.

The above is an old picture of JK Rowling with her ex-husband Jorge Arantes.

This is JK Rowling now:

Presently, trannies are angry over her claims that trans women are not women. In an attempt to defend herself from the angry mob, Rowling has claimed that she was sexually assaulted, and her ex-husband Jorge Arantes is now denying those claims.

This is a recent picture of Jorge Arantes:

If I had to believe one of the two, I’d believe the one that doesn’t look like a demon that just crawled out of a cave to suck the blood of infants.

Daily Mail:

JK Rowling’s first husband broke his silence last night to deny any domestic or sexual violence – but bizarrely admitted slapping her.

Jorge Arantes rejected the Harry Potter author’s description of their ‘violent marriage’, complaining: ‘She shouldn’t have involved me.’

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Mr Arantes insisted he had not yet read his former wife’s bombshell essay, in which she spoke of the scars of her past.

He declared: ‘There was no domestic violence, nor sexual violence.’ Extraordinarily, he added: ‘I slapped her, but I didn’t abuse her.’

Mr Arantes also told The Sun: ‘There was not sustained abuse. I’m not sorry for slapping her.’

…

Yesterday, speaking at his home in Porto, northern Portugal, Mr Arantes told the Daily Mail: ‘I’m not exactly aware of what she said but I have nothing to add.

‘There was no domestic violence, nor sexual violence. I don’t know exactly what she said, I still have to read it, but I’m not interested in commenting or refuting.

‘I don’t know why she involved me, if she involved me and if she was really referring to me. Apparently it has to do with transsexuals and transphobia. I have nothing to do with that and she shouldn’t involve me.’

Mr Arantes, 52, was quoted in the past as saying he and Miss Rowling had split up after an argument when their daughter Jessica, now 26, was a baby, saying: ‘I admit I slapped her very hard in the street.’

Yesterday he insisted: ‘I slapped her, but I didn’t abuse her.’

He sounds like an honest man who just wants to be left alone, but admitting that he slapped her is not a smart move. You know what happens these days when women start accusing men of things, and even if we all know that women deserve to be slapped, admitting to it is just adding fuel to the fire.

Besides showing that women will play the “but I was raped tho!” card when cornered, this story also provides an interesting portrayal of the effect of time on men and women.

It really is night and day.
