The mayor of Paris has been deluged with checks for just a few cents each after complaining about damage that protesters opposed to a law legalizing same-sex marriage did to one of the French capital’s most exclusive parks. Demonstrators opposed to “marriage for all” legislation must have guessed the chaos they would cause when they sent donations of just 10 cents to help settle the $132,000 bill for repairs to the lawns of the Champ-de-Mars near the Eiffel Tower.
In fact, their petty cash protest looks set to cost Parisian taxpayers even more money, after Mayor Bertrand Delanoe revealed it could cost more to issue receipts for the money than the amount of cash he had received. Opponents of the gay marriage bill passed by the lower House of Parliament on Feb. 2 had gathered on the Champ-de-Mars on Jan. 13 in a demonstration that saw about 350,000 protesters trample lawns that were closed off to the public and “resting” for the winter.
I don’t know what they were trying to achieve but engaging in a series of actions so idiotic and so irredeemably stupid is a sign that the anti-gay movement is on its last breath. The childish tantrum with the small checks proves that homophobes have no idea how to make anybody interested in their barbaric worldview except by these stupid stunts.
It is really great to observe the agony of a hateful movement.

“Pig” and “idiot” are synonymous with one another. I feel that it’s pretty redundant to describe any type of moron, period.

What have you got against pigs to compare them to homophobes?

Yes, I have realized my mistake the moment I wrote the title. I hate these losers passionately.

This is not an accurate account of the story.
The demonstrators (who were totally within their rights to demonstrate) didn’t actually make a mess of the lawns, the municipal vehicles driven by the municipal team sent in to take down the stage did. Oops…
The Paris mayor got what he deserved by making an issue out of an assumption without checking the accuracy of his claims, and in any case, he’s not legally obliged to send out receipts for cheques, only cash, so the whole story is a load of bollocks.
Here’s the actual story (in French):
12 janvier 2013
Le pôle sécurité signe un papier au nom de lamanifpourtous dans lequel il s’engage à protéger les pelouses du Champs de Mars. En effet, suite à un précédent dramatique, la Mairie de Parie fait retirer la veille des manifestations les grillages de protection des pelouses, à charge aux organisateurs de mettre des rubalises de démarcation.
L’état de la pelouse est constaté officiellement par huissier.
13 janvier 2013
Les premiers manifestants arrivant sur le Champs contournent bien les pelouses, mais ensuite la foule nombreuse finit par occuper toutes les surfaces disponibles.
14 janvier 2013
Le même huissier vient constater l’état de la pelous, et l’organisateur voit avec effroi sur le devant, au pied de l’ancienne scène, des traces profonces de pneus ayant visiblement pâtiné. Il peste interieurement contre l’équipe de démontage de la scène…
Le Maire de Paris lance sa fameuse facture de 100 000 € dans la presse. Sauf que, après vérification, en recoupant les écarts de pneus, l’huissier est obligé de reconnaitre.. que ceux sont les véhicules de la Voierie de Paris qui ont fait ces traces. Avec , pour corroborer cette hallucinante explication, une plainte déposée par un manifestant, revenu à 23h le soir de la manif pour chercher ses clés perdues, et témoin de la scène de massacre de la pelouse. Ce monsieur, que nous remercions, a eu l’idée géniale d’aller déposer plainte au commissariat d’arrondissement !!!
Etrangement, la communication fracassante de la Mairie de Paris s’est éteinte … et vous êtes en droit, pour ceux qui avaient envoyé un chèque de participation à la rénovation de la pelouse, de demander à être remboursés; et pour les autres, de demander des excuses publiques pour diffamation à Monsieur Delanoe.
