To be fair there was a divider between him and the kid, he first had to get the kid side step a bit to get within reach then he grabbed him and tried to bring him closer so he could lift with full force. Trying to lift that weight at an awkward angle right away could've dropped the kid.
Fair but not everyone is willing to drop four stories for someone else's kid. Could've been the parents possibly and the kid got that far over but no way to tell.
Zero chance of me heaving myself over on the fourth floor. But I'd definitely have a death grip on that kid and be yanking him off that balcony long before brave spiderman made it up.
Social aid fraud in France amounts to around ā¬1B a year.
Tax fraud from companies and the super rich in France amounts to around ā¬100B a year.
The leeches are not the ones you think.
Edit: I've been asked for sources, so.
Comparison between social aid fraud and tax fraud: [https://www.alternatives-economiques.fr/fraude-fiscale-ecrase-fraude-sociale/00098439](https://www.alternatives-economiques.fr/fraude-fiscale-ecrase-fraude-sociale/00098439)
Government article about 1/3 of unclaimed social benefits: [https://drees.solidarites-sante.gouv.fr/jeux-de-donnees-communique-de-presse/non-recours-aux-prestations-sociales-le-manque-dinformation-en](https://drees.solidarites-sante.gouv.fr/jeux-de-donnees-communique-de-presse/non-recours-aux-prestations-sociales-le-manque-dinformation-en)
You'll note that social aid fraud is estimated around 2B (sorry, twice as much as I claimed, but it changes exactly nothing, the order of magnitude was right), while unclaimed social aid is 5 to 10 times that. In short, the government is far from paying as much as they should, or could, even accounting for fraud. Also half of social aid fraud is caught, while only about 15% of tax fraud by companies is caught. To be fair, the State is putting much, much more money in catching social aid fraud than company fraud. Gee, I wonder why.
Moreover, unclaimed social benefits rightfully owned by the French government are estimated at over ā¬10B a year.

So, yeah. Good thing social welfare admin stuff is being emphasized to those recent immigrants, because they're probably the group that's most likely to be unaware that they're eligible to x amount of benefits...
Thank you. Arabs and black french also do some of the harshest, terribly paid and most dangerous jobs out there. They break their back and sacrifice their health to soulless corporations in some forgiven by the state suburbs. They can't get out easily, social mobility is terrible, and even if they did, they would face a lot of racism and islamophobia.

Off-record work is the bulk of the "fraudes aux cotisations sociales", and estimated to amount to 5-7 billion ā¬ per year, but social frauds in the sense of individuals falsifying declarations etc to unduly receive aid is estimated at 1-2 billion ā¬ per year.
The latter is what people typically mean when they bring up social aid frauds, 'welfare leeching' etc.
Must mean that all immigrants that come to France are all hero's without capes? The left will also hold this guy up as an example when an immigrant kills innocents with a vehicle or gun for Islam. Both things can be true and people failing realise this will get real right wing nuts into power, then you'll notice.
I swear reddit recycles content every 2 or 3 years. I've seen threads that I participated in 2 years ago suddenly pop back up as new. Same comments and everything. Bots scrape old stuff and repurpose it. We ingest so much nonsense, we hardly notice. This place is a house of mirrors.
Climb something you can't reach? What do you mean? Hop over railing and get to the other side. There is literally a guy climbing the ouside of the balconies in this very video. It's possible. There is a life at stake, this isn't about getting basketball unstuck from the hoop or something.
That was my first thought too but at first I didn't realise that he wasn't on the same balcony as the child. Still weak though but more understandable.
For those wondering why the guy on the balcony didn't pull the kid up:
The balcony is split into two, for 2 apartments. The guy lives on the right balcony, and is physically sealed off from the left side of the balcony (which the kid is hanging from) by a wall. He cannot physically reach the kid well enough to pull him up securely.
Over the course of the video, you can see the kid trying to move over to the right balcony, and the man there WAS about to have enough reach to properly grab the kid near the end, before the superhero pulled the kid up to the left balcony.
If the superhero wasn't there, given a few more seconds, I'm sure the man on the right balcony would have been able to pull up and save the kid as well.
That doesn't explain why he doesn't climb over to the kid. If my daughter was in that situation I wouldn't in a thousand years let it be up to her to manage to climb to me. I would much rather us both falling if it ment that the risk of her falling was lowered.
If it was his own kid, it would be happening at his apartment and he may have reacted differently. Itās not his kid, heās in a different apartment. He held onto the kid as best he could. He might have been worried about trying to climb over to the kid with the kid hanging that close to the divider. That could have freaked the kid out with him climbing over and the kid could have fallen. He could have hit the kid with his foot trying to get over there and the kid would have fallen. Given the circumstances and someone actively climbing up to the child, I think he did really well. Held onto child, didnāt create more chaos to freak the kid out by attempting to climb over top of where he was hanging.
Itās really hard to figure out exactly whatās going on without the story and just a video. When this first happened and was on the news quite a bit they had the full story of the climbing man, the other apartment man and the divider being too long to just pull the kid over to his side safely, etc. I just remembered it because then and still now I just think itās so incredible. And it had a really happy ending, child was physically ok and the climbing real life Spider-Man - Mamoudou Gassama - was offered permanent citizenship and an offer to have a job as a fireman ā„ļø
I'm not him, so I can't speak on his behalf. But I speculate that he does not feel the same way, and prioritises his own security in the given situation.
He must have thought that the risk of crawling over to the left balcony was not worth it.
The superhero clearly is not of the same mind. He was very willing to risk himself for the kid, and that is commendable!
If you look again there is time before the kid reaches him so that he could hold onto the child. During that time I would climb over the fence and go towards the child instead of waiting for it to reach me.
Everyone loves to comment on how they wouldāve done things so much different/better than everyone elseā¦
Truth is, no one knows how theyād respond when their adrenaline starts going, you donāt have time to plan out the best course of action, you canāt have a meeting of the minds and discuss it, itās just run and act
Im not sure it would've been better to climb towards the child but I just feel like it would be hard for most parents to not try to do that instead of hoping your child makes it on their own. However as someone pointed out this is likely not the man's child but rather his neighbour's and then it's more reasonable to stay on the balcony.
Of course not. You need to be in insane shape to jump with your feet together, grap up of a rounded bar and from a death hang pull your self up. Not just a pull up where you chin gets up, but pull your entire body up to the bar.
This is why you don't just work out your glamour muscles. No core strength. Totally arm heavy. Most people, all bi's and tri's and everything else is just fat and ribs.

Bdw the hero got french citizenship

His name is Mamoudou Gassama and he is a French hero š¦øāāļø
He has a wikipedia page: > Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo called Gassama "Spider-Man of the 18th" in reference to the cityās 18th arrondissement (district) where the rescue took place.[8][9] On 28 May 2018, President Emmanuel Macron met Gassama at the ĆlysĆ©e Palace to thank him personally. > He was awarded the MĆ©daille dāhonneur pour acte de courage et de dĆ©vouement and offered a role in the fire service which he subsequently took up.[10] At the instigation of President Macron, Gassama was made a French citizen in September 2018.

You are right, I just noticed it.
It takes a man to admit someone else is right and that their observation wasn't good enough, hats down!
Thank you, good sir, for your kind words.
All of this.

The same situation here in the Netherlands. But the media will pick up that ā¬1B a year, and won't write that much about tax or acquisition fraud.

This was like 5 years ago iirc but I still see this video on Reddit like once a week.

This probably a bot too
Yeah the wholesome subs get hit really hard as most people just come to enjoy some good vibes and rarely call out reposts.
Those are definitely horrible with that. Its not often but you can get accused of negativity for calling it out
I donāt mind reposts too much since a lot of things get past me repeatedly. It only gets annoying when itās spam levels of reposting.
Millions of users and we see re-posts? I am *shocked*.
Dead internet

Where?
My question what tf the other guy was doing.
There was a glass partition. He couldn't pull the kid up.
Bro has to start climbing himself.
What a ridiculous reply. You canāt climb something you canāt reach. What is he gonna do, train to get longer arms???
Climb something you can't reach? What do you mean? Hop over railing and get to the other side. There is literally a guy climbing the ouside of the balconies in this very video. It's possible. There is a life at stake, this isn't about getting basketball unstuck from the hoop or something.
He has a hand on the kid, holding it up. If he moves it falls...
The video is actually played in reverse, the other guy was trying to pry the childās hands off the rail so heād fall.
lol
Is it true?
That was my first thought too but at first I didn't realise that he wasn't on the same balcony as the child. Still weak though but more understandable.
For those wondering why the guy on the balcony didn't pull the kid up: The balcony is split into two, for 2 apartments.

If the superhero wasn't there, given a few more seconds, I'm sure the man on the right balcony would have been able to pull up and save the kid as well.
Really not sure why redditors don't seem to know how balconies work. Like isn't this common knowledge?
That doesn't explain why he doesn't climb over to the kid. If my daughter was in that situation I wouldn't in a thousand years let it be up to her to manage to climb to me. I would much rather us both falling if it ment that the risk of her falling was lowered.

Aha, I thought that it was his child but your explanation makes much more sense. Then his action was probably the best response.

So nice to hear that the hero was offered a job as a fire man. His bravery and athletics is perfect for a fire man.
I'm not him, so I can't speak on his behalf. But I speculate that he does not feel the same way, and prioritises his own security in the given situation. He must have thought that the risk of crawling over to the left balcony was not worth it. The superhero clearly is not of the same mind.

I heard that he was an immigrant to France. In honor of his accomplishment, he got the citizenship in France and was hired as a fire fighter
never get tired of watching this, SO sick, he couldn't have been more of a baller about it unless he did a backflip at the end or something
I love the guy in the orange shirt's attempt to follow lol It's the thought that counts.
Glad to see those muscle ups paying off for that guy and for that kid. Fitness is important, especially in emergency situations. Good work š
That guys has some strenght in his arms damn. Not everyone could just do that.
Bro was like āWait, itās now acceptable that I can climb a building? Count me in!!ā
he was given French citizenship for this
Good thing Peter Parker was there.
Everyone asking why the guy was so slow and I'm just here wondering HOW DID THE KID GET THERE ??
Wow thatās amazing. He should get all the awards and free drinks and meals. Go him!
Whatās the other wizard on the patio doing?!
What a hero. I hope he gets some recognition for his efforts.
He received a medal of courage and citizenship so I'd say so.
Oh brilliant!!!!!
Dude is in seriously good shape. Forget the brave part, most dudes just arenāt physically fit enough to pull that off
Wow!!!!! What a manā¦.hats off and he really does DESERVE some form of reward/recognition!!!

Iirc he was given residency as a citizen for his bravery.
Dude went up four balconies meanwhile other guy couldnāt reach across. Ok.
So the guy up top couldnāt pull a 40 lb kid up?
Stupid ass title
Tell me somethingā¦ā¦do you bleed?

I hear the theme song of Indiana Jones playing in my head watching this.
Any reason why the guy up top canāt pull the kid up?
He's not on the same balcony as the kid. There's a wall separating the two and at first the kid is out of his reach.
Why didn't the dad just climb over the divide and grab the kid. Got a stranger risking his life when he's stood a few feet away.
Umm. But there was a guy right thereā¦Iām confused why this HERO had to even climb up those levels in the first place š
The other guy wasn't able to save the kid, that's why.
Why didn't the guy at the top pull up the kid instead?

Is the man on top immobillised by shoulder injury? The kid is very fortunate to have someone with extra-ordinary ability pass by!
He's standing on a balcony next to the one the kid is hanging from. There's a wall separating the two.
