Man, this guy was amazing. He's an illegal immigrant. He wasn't deported, he was made a citizen and given a job. Hmmmmmm??

"Spiderman" who saved child dangling from Paris balcony offered French citizenship by Macron

It seems way easyier to break that "wall" often made of glass or plastic that separates balconies than climb that building. A man can brake it with one kick and grab the baby. Secondly how did that baby found himself in that position. Unless the neighbour arrived at the split second at wich he was falling it seems a little unlikely.

Don't know feels a little strange, we'll see though. Regardless it was very brave to climb like that.

Don't know the circumstances. Your explanation leaves me with, HUH?

It's when I heard in the news that the dad was out playing Pokemon Go that I knew something was wrong.

But seriously I've been disappointed with cool stories like this before, and I can't help but think it seems a little fishy.

So being disappointed with cool stories before is your reason for "feels a little strange" "seems a little fishy?" oooootay.

Seems your concerns were founded. Trump just tweeted that it was all Fake News. Apparently the FBI sent a spy to work with a foreign government just to embarass the administration for it's immigration policies. He's demanded that the DOJ provide him with the real name of Spiderman. Looks like that guy is an agent with the FBI's secret elite Barnum & Bailey division headed up by, yep - Obama.

France is very liberal for giving that guy instant citizenship. Wouldn't happen in the U.S.

What kind of father would leave a 4 year old child in an apartment alone to go shopping? Where was the mother?

The mother was visiting her family at La Réunion a french island in the Indian ocean.

It was definately a mistake to leave a 4 years old alone, especially with the windows open.

So it appears the baby actually fell from the balcony one storie above (i'am not sure this is correct english but you will understand) and found a way to grip himself back where we see him in the video. Pretty miraculous if you ask me. The neighbour holding the baby didn't want to take any chance to try and bring him back on the balcony. He said he had him in a safe position and was talking to him and calming him.

The story appears to be legit so it's cool.

Off topic but very curious how much you pay for it and how big it is if you don't mind telling me.

$73 per night for a ridiculously cramped studio with a sofa bed instead of a real one. There is barely space to move around and the apartment is run down and gross. The area is bad and I've been told not to walk around late at night.

It had a perfect five stars on Airbnb.

Thanks for the info and very sorry to hear that man. Did they have fake pictures of the studio on the website ?

And yeah it's definately not the best area to stay in Paris. How long do you stay ? Woudn't it be worth it to find another one ?

The pictures aren't exactly fake, but they're taken at certain angles and in ways which misrepresent how the apartment actually looks. I've had this problem multiple times.

I wouldn't get a refund, so I'll just stick it out. I'm really only there to sleep anyway.
