ThoughtCrime in France: French Vegan Given Suspended Jail Sentence for Saying She Had ‘No Sympathy’ for Butcher Killed in Terror Attack
30th March 2018
The woman, named locally as Myriam, an animal rights activist, received a seven-month sentence after she posted on Facebook there was “some justice” in the murder of Christian Medves by Radouane Lakdim last Friday.
Moroccan-born Lakdim killed four people, including Mr Medves and gendarme Arnaud Beltrame, during a rampage centred on a supermarket in the town of Trebes.
Myriam, who lives in the nearby village of Saint Gaudens, subsequently posted: “So then, you are shocked that a murderer is killed by a terrorist. Not me. I’ve got zero compassion for him, there’s some justice in it.”
This is why we have a First Amendment.
