Italy, the snow is coming in “And it will not be enough for the whole world!”
The famous French humor magazine “Charlie Hebdo” has just published this cartoon. Well, and what’s the matter? The matter is the big, heavy snowfall (2/3 meters -6.5/10 ft-) in the central regions of Italy, already afftected by several earthquakes in 2016, going haywire with the electrical power, the supplies and the rescue operations in the area.
Several hamlets are still isolated, while the snow is still falling. Well, in this chaotic situation, on last Thursday 18, a huge snow slide come down and buried a hotel in the Apennine mountains, with about 35 missing people. Unbelievably, 11 survivors were rescued in the following days, 7 victims, while the others are still missing.

Other people are died in the close regions, both from the cold or collapse of buildings. And all the while the earth tremors continue to happen (since last August 2016, many earthquakes have devastated large areas of Central Italy (see HERE a post of mine about these facts).
Well, at this point, can anyone explain me the meaning of the above cartoon, because I have no idea what it means. Is it perhaps a French figure of speech, that means anything else of its first meaning? Or what? Because it’s very hard for me to laugh at death of innocent persons, that they are both Italians or foreigners.
Any delay and disorganization in rescuing? Maybe, I don’t know, but that’s neither here not there with the not guilty dead and missing.
“Charlie Hebdo” magazine has every right to take the piss the whole world, and we all know very well what happened on January 7, 2015, when some coward Islamic terrorists killed 12 people, cartoonists and employees, just guilty for expressing their opinions, irreverent and caustic, but just opinions. Millions of people were on its side, of course including myself, but this cartoon is just a miserable trash.
I just wish to show my dissent, of corse only in words: Who is with me on this? Come on, send me your frank opinion.
