Unfortunately, not funny around here - a female hiker from a neighbouring village was shot and killed a few months back. I’ve just bought a bright red jacket for autumn walking in the forest- but it’s not bullet-proof…
I’d hoped the picture might have worked for you, but I’m sorry to hear about her death.
Have you heard that Mark Knopfler and Chris Rea have formed a new band? It’s going to be called Dire Rea.
Thanks, Heard some shooting while walking in the woods this morning. In fact one doesn’t even need to go out - two years ago an English guy a few kilometres west of us was killed while pruning a tree in his garden.
Hunting’s necessary around here, but a couple of hunt free days a week would be very welcome;
What is the French system reaction to this?
Imprisonment?
Fine?
Civil damages paid to family or person’s estate?
Withdrawal of gun licence, and lifetime ban on handling or possessing any weapon?
Shooter is now ostracised socially?
Liability paid up by any mandatory huntsman’s or sportsmen’s insurance?
Or… le shrug?
I find the clown or whatever that horror is infinitely more disturbing than Judith with the head of Holofernes.
I would not disagree one bit.
Somehow, this cartoon seems extrmely appropriate to this forum.
I’ve always loved Calvin and Hobbes!
