Truly, this is a question of philosophy.
A far-right mayor in France has denied mocking the murder of a woman on a train track in a poster campaign calling for a high-speed rail network extension.
Robert Menard, mayor of Beziers, tweeted out posters showing a woman tied to train tracks and screaming under the caption “With High-Speed Trains she would have suffered less!”
The images caused outrage among politicians and members of the public who said they made a “despicable” reference to a recent murder case.
A 34-year-old woman named only as Emilie died in the northern town of Beauvilliers in June when her husband, named as Guillaume, tied her to railway tracks before taking his own life.
Marlene Schiappa, minister for equality, said she had told the local authorities to “examine and take all possible recourses” to deal with the “hateful campaign”.
The youth branch of left-wing party France Insoumise labelled the campaign as “apologism for violence against women and femicide”.
Laurence Rossignol, a senator and former minister for women said, “I have filed a complaint with the public prosecutor demanding the removal of the posters as well as legal action against their authors.”
I’m so sick of this sappy feelings “outrage” nonsense.
This situation here clearly shows that it has peaked and is no longer even attempting to be coherent.
Surely, we can all move on with our lives and make decisions based on something other than feelings.
