- hk__2 2y agoThanks; before clicking I was confused because I thought about Agence France Press, the French press agency.
- wnissen 2y agoI was really turning this over in my head. "Okay, the French are generally humane but they completely lose their minds when it comes to certain forms of non-Frenchness, typically those associated with colonialism. And terrorism is a big deal there, most recently the Bataclan. So maybe there was a person who was, like, ethnically Algerian and autistic, but how in the world could a press agency spend that much money doing such an investigation?!?" Makes so much more sense now.
