View Full Version : Another Great Immigrant Hero!

This one happened in France, but considering he is from Haiti -a country our lovely President thinks is a shithole- it really shows how people everywhere benefit their new homes.


PARIS — The video footage is striking: In a matter of seconds, a young man scales four stories of a Paris apartment building to rescue a child dangling from a balcony.

The rescuer’s name is Mamoudou Gassama, an undocumented immigrant from Mali, and the 22-year-old is being feted as a national hero despite having been in France for less than six months. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo announced that the city would support his effort to stay in France, and President Emmanuel Macron welcomed him to the Élysée Palace on Monday.

At a moment when life is becoming increasingly difficult for immigrants in France, Gassama — christened “Spider-Man” on French social media — has become an overnight celebrity after his Saturday night heroics.

Macron’s government has cracked down on economic immigrants in particular and has doubled the amount of time that authorities can detain newly arrived undocumented immigrants. Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry has ordered the closure of makeshift migrant camps in Paris; a young male immigrant at one of the camps drowned this month.

But critics of the government’s hard line have seized on Gassama’s example. An online petition calling for him to be granted his residency papers began circulating Sunday night. At their meeting, Macron offered Gassama a job as a firefighter and said that his application for naturalization would be streamlined.

On Tuesday morning, Gassama received his residency permit, a process that typically takes months, and mountains of paperwork, to complete successfully.

“He explained to me that he arrived from Mali several months ago, dreaming of building his life here,” Hidalgo said via Twitter. “I told him that his heroic gesture is an example for all citizens.”

Gassama recounted the chain of events on Saturday night to France’s Le Parisien newspaper.

Around 8 p.m., he was with his girlfriend in Paris’s 18th arrondissement, or district. As he was walking down Marx-Dormoy street, he saw a crowd gathered below a building, with people screaming and pointing up.

Then he saw the boy, who authorities later said was 4.

“I climbed up to save him, voilà,” Gassama told Le Parisien. “I did it because it was a kid. I love children very much.”

“I didn’t think about the floors,” he said, referring to the building he scaled. “I didn’t think about the risk.”

For many, the question was how the 4-year-old boy had managed to climb over the balcony’s railing in the first place.

The child's mother was not in Paris at the time, and his father, who had apparently left the boy home alone, was questioned by authorities, a judicial source told Agence France-Presse.

When we post story after story of immigrant rapists and murders we are told it is irrelevant to point out individual cases but finding one or two "hero" immigrants proves we should have open borders?

The statistics prove that ILLEGAL immigrants and immigrants from certain cultures commit crimes at a much higher rate and that ALL immigrants vote to destroy liberty at much higher rates.

False dichotomy. Not hating immigrants means you want open borders with unlimited immigration? (and statistics fail to support your claims of higher crimes- fake news). The US was built and made what it is today with the help of immigrants.

On the other hand, find one immigrant committing a crime and you use it to call for to ban all immigrants- blaming an entire class of people for the actions of a very few.

The First Victims of the US State

Re. THE EROSION OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP by Henry Lamb

In this WorldNetDaily piece about the question of ‘allowing’ Indians to operate casinos on their land, he typed:

Should each of these groups be given a sovereign land within the United States and allowed to govern as they choose, free from taxes paid by others and free to engage in activities denied to others?

The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, enacted in 1988, discriminates on the basis of race, against all non-Indians. Neither Jews, the Irish, Poles, nor Mormons can open a gambling casino on their own land. Is this equal protection under the law?

Mr. Lamb, I am part Indian and have spent time among the Shoshone. Fortunately for you, they maintain a sense of humor or maybe you would wake up one night minus your toupee.

You cite equal protection, but Amerinds never volunteered to be U.S. citizens and are a conquered people. Your saying that they should be treated as "equal" losers as are Mormons, Jews, Poles and other unfortunates is a very poor joke.

But your article slides deeper into the realms of self-validation with,

"Americans are defined, not by color, religion or ethnicity, but by belief in, and dedication to, the principles of freedom, as defined in our founding documents. As a nation, we seem to have forgotten this fundamental principle."

And as a person, you seem to have forgotten the fundamental history lesson that Amerinds were here before the conquering Europeans. B-E-F-O-R-E. They preceded your “founding documents” by over a thousand years and never signed up to American hypocritical principles of freedom of the elite by the elite and for the elite who were white and owned property. This was a concept alien to most Amerinds back then and is alien to them now.

You opine that my brothers have no right to do anything they wish on what little land that white people with guns allowed them. Had you ever troubled yourself to visit reservation properties throughout this ‘free’ nation, you would have discovered that they are stuck in poverty on arid, useless tracts where no resources are located. In short, they are forced at gunpoint to live on land that white men don’t want.

Now Native People have found a way of raising their standard of living a little by opening “Indian Casinos.” How outrageous! Next thing you know, they might be able to afford a new car and drive alongside you as equals on the freeway, instead of being stuck in a broken chair on the reservation waiting for their next government handout. God forbid….this country is already teeming with minorities and letting them redskins control their own future is going ‘way too far, say the Henry Lambs of the world.

Instead of focusing on overregulation of all groups by government, you write that the government should equally oppress the Amerinds. It wouldn’t otherwise be fair. But fair to who?

“…belief in, and dedication to, the principles of freedom…,” does not define Native Americans. Pontificating, hypocritical elites love to spout about such concepts when the reality is far different to every Native American and to every thinking American.

This "Land of the Free" has more people in prison per capita than every other nation on earth, including third-world dictatorships. Ten times more than communist China.

Presidential Executive Orders (I call them PXO’s) have been quietly signed that give the Feds the power to grab up absolutely anybody, any business, and anything else when they deem it ‘necessary.’ PXO’s have been ruled valid by the USSC even though they suspend every human right and dignity without legislation or even the review of Congress. PXO’s treat us all just like Indians.

See: http://www.warroom.com/exec_orders.htm

http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/executive_orders/executive_orders.html

Since the government took over local schooling around 1940, black illiteracy has doubled and white illiteracy quadrupled, despite the fact that we spend three or four times as much relative money on schooling as we did before 1940. Today, 40 percent of blacks and 17 percent of whites can’t read at all. In 1940, 20 percent of blacks and 4 percent of whites were illiterate. This isn’t the Land of the Free, it’s the Land of the Ignorant.

In the false name of the “War on Drugs” more Constitutional rights have been eliminated than most people realize. Already we have tens of thousands of people in prison with their cars and homes confiscated for daring to put a substance in their bodies they so chose, even though the USSC declared a person could freely choose, without government interference, to have control over those same bodies for the right to have an abortion.

"Children" who cannot “legally” have sex under the age of eighteen years because they lack the mental and social capacity to give consent are tried every day as adults when the same hypocrites in legislatures decide that they do have the mental capacity to commit a crime.

Under the U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act, citizens no longer have rights against unreasonable search and seizure and are now subject to secret surveillance and searches of their property without due process, even for foreign governments. Police officers carrying out illegal searches are granted legal immunity if they were just carrying out orders, even though Nazis who “were just carrying out orders” were not allowed that defense and were sent to the gallows at Nuremberg.

It seems that many think government is the source of our rights and so government can take them away whenever it chooses. And people like you can’t get a clue why the Native Peoples don’t want any part of the crazy white man’s government and its useful-idiots who want to pontificate who does and who does not deserve to have a place under the sun.

That is exactly what Komrade Pierz wants. (and you too)


(and statistics fail to support your claims of higher crimes- fake news).
Thank you for including a disclaimer labeling what you wrote as fake news.



The US was built and made what it is today by immigrants.
Actually it was built and made what it is by invaders, we don't want to let new invaders build something new and worse.


Find one immigrant committing a crime and you use it to call for to ban all immigrants.
We find many illegal immigrants committing many crimes and we only call for an end to illegal immigration, we call for a reduction in legal immigration to protect liberty against the voting habits of foreign communists.

We shouldn't let invaders take our land from us or we might end up dead or on reservations like the Injuns.
What we have is bad but what the barbarians will impose on us will be much worse.

It is our land because our forefathers left it to us, they obtained it in the same way that almost every other square inch of land was obtained by the peoples who own them and the very same way that most of the Injuns obtained it before we came.

That is what your side says about whites, I say that conquest is how all of history determined what land was owned by what peoples, if we can rise above the past that would be good but we can't erase it, the best we can do is to not seize any more land through conquest while defending what we have.

Yes. (Although where I live, the land was all bought and paid for, fair and square)

Ever been there?

Ever worked there?

Ever had to get anything done there?

I have.

I've seen it up close and personal, and it is a shithole, where life is cheap and want and ignorance abounds.

I don't want to live like that, I don't want people around me that think like that, and I have a fucking right to say so and support policies that reflect that.
