I wonder if this miscreant received a little push to help him in his fight?

[Madame Dufarge]

He tripped.

[mewzilla]

Well, isn't this convenient.

[What Is Ain't]

Ah ha! So this is the French version of the death penalty. Nice and neat. Well, not so neat.

[wretchard]

Let's see: the French cops have a mass murder suspect yelling that he wants to die and they leave him unrestrained near an open fourth floor window.

Perhaps they wish to withhold further cooperation with American authorities who want the death penalty for the WTC hijacker on the grounds that we are too stupid if we need it.

Simplisme.

[fnord]

I like their death penalty better than ours

[alisasny]

How convenient!! Guess this helps the French not have to debate the death penalty over this case. Strange to say the least.

[Semper Paratus]

Looks like the french suicide watch is as effective as the Maginot Line.

[Prodigal Son]

They could have at least done it from the top of the Eiffel Tower- gotta keep those tourists entertained don't you know. Or maybe from one of the towers of Notre Dame would also have made a good show. You could bet on how high he would bounce.

[sneakypete]

I think we can all understand him wanting to kill several judges,but shooting the 19 innocent people was inexcuseable.

If this was in the US one would expect a "wrongful death suit" against the police that were supposed to be watching the miscreant. If he had been black, Sharpton, Jackson, et al would be on the scene.
