Le heros du jour - 090426 a 6h50

The discussion revolves around different kinds of heroes, particularly focusing on a very self-centered individual named James Scott. James, a 23-year-old from Quincy, Massachusetts, is the central figure in an unbelievable story. The town experienced heavy rainfall, leading to a dike breaking and severe flooding, submerging entire neighborhoods. The surprising twist is that James Scott was the cause of this disaster. He deliberately removed sandbags supporting the dike, intentionally weakening it. This act led to widespread inundation, devastating over 5,000 square meters of agricultural land, destroying several buildings, and causing the closure of a major road. His motivation for causing such destruction was astonishing: he wanted his wife to come home so he could continue partying with his friends undisturbed. As a result of his actions, James is now in prison. The speaker expresses disbelief at the extent some men go to avoid their wives, resorting to such extreme measures rather than simply communicating about their plans. The situation is described as "crazy," with the man ending up in prison just to evade his wife, labeling him a "coward."
