I will remember him as the man who rejected France. He knew how bad its people were. How racist and hateful they were to minorities. So he decided to stay inside an airport for nearly 20 years. What a legend. R.I.P.
RIP legend
Mira, cuadernista, justo había vuelto a vivir al aeropuerto.
Spooky
Rip 🙏
