Wow! So why do they ask for visas that they regularly overstay? No, you mean that some Algerian-born people are French. That's true. But not our perp, heck no.
The police sources say that he had a brush with the French immigration laws. As in, not allowed to be in France. Translation, he was an illegal.
The French had major problems back in 56 because they were colonials and allowed to emigrate. True. However, that does not apply to Algerians born after Algeria was abandoned by De Gaulle in 1962. The perp was born in 1964.
Also, a point I should have added in the WTFs that this story is raising: How come this guy was a pensioned invalid, yet was valid enough to beat up and force a child? Must have been a miraculous remission. Hope that he doesn't use that to get a medical parole after he's jailed.
An invalid illegal pedophile on welfare. Nice.
I suppose we should give him credit for not prefering little boys.
