    "I saw all these people shouting, and cars sounding their horns. So I crossed the road to go save him," said Mamoudou Gassama, a migrant from Mali, who scaled four balconies of a building in Paris to pull a child to safetyhttps://nyti.ms/2IU1Ph8

        Not a word on this story from the immigrant attackers and border worshipers. Breitbart "news" apparently doesn't like these kinds of anecdotes. Not a word from the great pumpkin either. Their selective memories have a bit of a bias to them.

        The flip side is that an African immigrant has to do something truly superhumanly heroic to be accorded basic dignity, respect and acceptance

        There was an adult next to the child that could’ve & should’ve pulled it up. It was a set up.

        No it was not. It happened 10' from my place in Paris and there were hundreds of eyewitnesses. The couple on the next balcony arrived when Gassama was already climbing and could not pull the chid to safety because of the wall between balconies.

        i) kid was farther from the couple on the adjoining balcony for most of the video ii) you can clearly see the partition between balconies on each floor at the exact same place iii) again, 100s of eyewitnesses, real child dangling ... if Ubelieve THAT was staged, I feel sorry 4U

        Why is he being labeled a migrant?

        Because he is. Arrived in Paris from Mali only a few months ago. With this heroic behavior, he certainly earned his French citizenship and was offered a job with the Paris fire brigade as well.

        Really people commenting are thanking God when they should be thanking the REAL Human being saved that child. I don't see God climbing up buildings to save children, i see a brave man acting sexless and heroic. Stop putting god in this.

        I know. Just in my feeling is it takes away from the true hero when people thank god. It's an amazing thing what he did and we should just celebrate is heroism without injecting God into everything good that happens.

        Yeah I know, but I used that same expression when I saw video. Just thankful for him to be in the right place at the right time. Which can't be said for the boy's selfish father.
