A Mali immigrant who scaled a Paris apartment building to save a child dangling from a balcony will be awarded for his bravery with papers to legalise his stay and a job as a firefighter.

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that 22-year-old Mamoudou Gassama will be awarded for his “exceptional act” with legal papers, citizenship if he wants it and a job with the fire service.

"Bravo," Mr Macron said to Mr Gassama during a one-on-one meeting in a gilded room of the presidential Elysee Palace that ended with the awarding of a medal from the prefecture for "courage and devotion".

Good morning to the new class of the Paris Fire Dept.'s training academy*
this is Mr. Gassama and he will be teaching you about climbing, rigging,
and safety.

3. If he had done that in the United States,

he would have been charged with trespassing, attempted kidnapping, and then deported. Or murdered by cops at the scene.

At least France got it right.

7. If the same thing had happened here -

1- Dumpy would have made no mention of it
2- The hero immigrant would have been promptly deported by ICE

MAGA!

The Orange Dipshit made a brief call 20 days later. Wrong colour for a "hero".

8. He should consider

Cirque de Soleil. Although they’re Canadian, I’m sure the pay is better

12. Just curious why the kid wasn't pulled up by those on the balcony

Maybe its just some bad camera angle, but it sure looks like there are two people on the balcony, including another bigger male. I don't understand why he couldn't have reached down and pulled the child up himself. Its like they just watched spiderman climb up and do the job for them.
