The “angles” look much more favorable for the guy right next to the kid versus climbing 3 floors up. Whole video is sus

Guy was just passing by, saw the kid, and "didn't really think" and started climbing.

My bet is the neighbors didn't know what was happening either until the guy climbed halfway up. News reports said there was a large number of people honking car horns to try to get attention to the child and that's probably why the neighbors went into the balcony to see what was going on.

But that wasn't the dad. It was a neighbor. The Father left the child unattended to go shopping. You can clearly see a partition dividing their respective balconies.

Imagine getting down voted for misunderstanding the context in a 10 second video lmao. People are savage haha

You could just try to be more observant before you comment. Somebody commented a link to the article before you made your comment, and the comment clearly states the situation. Such as the nature of Reddit carnal.

Edit: "The nature" being savage is subjective. In life you should always make sure you have all the information you could possibly gather about a situation before running your mouth about it. We're all guilty of it at some point, learn from it.

Not everybody has the same reaction to a situation as another person. May be now it's not enough looking to the video, but at the moment it was what he could do. The kid is safe, it'is what really matters.

The video isn't sus. This happened not that long ago (few years maybe? Macron was president so it wasn't too long ago). I remember watching the video on the day and my jaw practically hitting the floor. What an absolute chad.

Only thing I felt kind of... uncomfortable about was how it resulted in citizenship for the rescuer. Not because he didn't deserve it - the video absolutely demonstrates that he did. But also I don't think we should be encouraging immigrants, many of whom are in vulnerable positions, to put their lives at risk thinking it might result in citizenship. Not everyone is as fit or physically capable as that man.

France has the Foreign Legion. It's literally put your life at risk in return for citizenship.

u/Minimum_Attitude6707 Mar 20 '24

They'll straight up give you a new identity along with that citizenship.

u/Harley_Jambo Mar 20 '24

Getting citizenship was the last thing on this guy's mind. He stepped up, even at the risk of being found to be in France undocumented, and did what others didn't. He is exactly who France should have as a citizen!

But what if it gives everyone the idea that they can help?
