What should they have done with a guy who they found sneaking out of the building where there's an ACTIVE SHOOTING AND HOSTAGE SITUATION? Drop everything to verify the man's story as quickly as possible, just to make sure he's not handcuffed for too long? Give him a nice cup of tea and instantly believe every word…

Oh sorry, GIGN and FIPN must have missed the giant blinking sign above this guy's head that read "Not the Terrorist." They didn't do anything wrong. This was a chaotic active shooter situation with unknown involved subjects. There's no easy way for them to differentiate between who's involved and who's an escaping…

HAHA you guys are so funny. Please more shitty jokes about the French. Like, really, what a great timing. I'll come here and make xenophobic jokes at Americans the next time there's a shooting in the US, deal? Which will be quite soon because Americans and their guns, am I right? haha isn't that hilarious?

Why the fuck wouldn't they?

In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don't baptise the children of single mothers because they weren't conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today's hypocrites. Those who clericalise the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation."

Agreed. But even knowing where they are I don't imagine the protocol is to storm the location and free the hostages asap. After all, they hadn't done it in either location where they knew people were being kept.

Hate to tell you, but after an incident like this, they don't just turn people loose willy nilly. Are you serious???

I find this French directed snark to be very poor form and premature. And hypocritical in the light of Ferguson and countless other issues about blacklivesmatter#. We have racism in the EU surprise surprise (who the fuck would say otherwise?). We also have people of colour who are in the police - two of whom were…

I would argue that it seems extreme only in hindsight, and because we know he was telling the truth. In the aftermath of two days of terror, but before the climax it likely seemed "just right".

I read somewhere else that he'd dealt with that possibility by turning the freezer off. He'd thought of everything!

ikr people are like YOU ARE A FUCKING GENIUS HERO and he is like w/e let me wave this away with true french whateverness

The more I hear about this man, the more my admiration grows.

To be fair, in an active shooting situation prudence and caution are important. I don't think I would wantonly send my officers into a situation that seems implausible: "Hey, I escaped from the store where people are being killed, but I've saved others in the basement. Come and rescue them right now" likely requires…

I hope Mari-kun will notice m... Oh...

As someone with asthma, I'd like to be among the first to invite this woman to go fuck herself.
