Humanity hits a new low as the uncontrollable temper of a person took the life of a French waiter for slow service. According to him, the waiter was ‘too slow with the sandwich’. The incident happened on the outskirts of Paris.

The waiter’s colleagues called police after he was shot in the shoulder with a handgun in the Noisy-le-Grand suburb east of Paris on Friday night, the source said.

Attempts to revive the 28-year-old failed and he died at the scene. The gunman, who a witness said lost his temper “as his sandwich wasn’t prepared quickly enough”, fled the scene.

Police told AFP a murder investigation has been opened.

With the shooter still on the run Saturday, shocked residents gathered outside the pizza and sandwich eatery.

“He was killed for a sandwich?” one asked, unbelievingly.

The area is notorious for high crime rates. Most of them results from public drunkenness and drug dealing and trafficking.

Gesture of support from France as it freezes JeM founder Masood Azhar’s assets

In a bright gesture of support, France approves sanctions on JeM founder Masood Azhar. It also freezed his assets in on it’s soil. Few days ago, they pledged to designate Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist at the United Nations. JeM claimed the responsibility of Pulwama attack.

“France has decided to sanction Masood Azhar at the national level by freezing his assets in application of the Monetary and Financial Code. A joint decree of the Ministries of the Interior, and Economy and Finance was published today in the Official Gazette,” said a press statement from the Government of France that was also placed on social media by the French Ambassador to India.

Apart from creating hurdles for financial transactions, the sanction from France will also help in stopping travel by Azhar and his known followers.

Such a nice gesture by France. It would definitely put pressure on Pakistan to act against the terror groups based in its territory. Since Pulwama attack, India has sought tough actions on terrorist groups and individuals like Azhar. This move would also induce support from nations which are not openly supporting India through actions.
