High-profile French prisoner escapes... Metal Gear-style.

[Serris]

No, I am not making this up.

Jean-Pierre Treiber, 45, broke out of jail using nothing but a cardboard box. Treiber has been in prison awaiting trial since 2004, charged with murdering French actor Roland Giraud's daughter Geraldine, and her friend Katia Lherbier.

If this isn't discussion-worthy news, I don't know what is.

 

[Snail]

Lol that's awesome and bad at the same time... I almost feel like he deserves his freedom just because he escaped in such a manly way xD

 

[POKE40]

That is terrible and ingenious.
The High Security Prison is not so high security.

He could be anywhere now (in France).
:O

 

[Fuelbi]

I nearly choked on my food when I read this. I vote for him escaping for being so epic in his complot.

/10epic

 

[M@v]

Once again, the French prove how much they suck.

Letting a DEADLY criminal, escape with a CARDBOARD BOX. wow.

 

[victra♥]

Once again, the French prove how much they suck.

lol.

Anyways, heh. That's pretty badass.

 

[Fuelbi]

If the french suck would that also include canadians?

 

[Scott!]

If the french suck would that also include canadians?

Only Quebec.

Also, while it's an awesome story, I hope they catch this guy and never let him escape again. Put him on trial. If he's found guilty, then lock him up forever. He killed two people, and no amount of manliness in his escape methods can make up for it or bring them back.

/no fun

 

[Flawless Fan]

Proof at how awesome and sexy boxes are.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

He's a bad person...
...But dear God that is an amazing escape.
He just wins life now.

 

[1048576]

I feel like an appropriate reward for his escapade is however much free time he gets before they catch him again.

He does need to be brought to justice at some point though.

 

[Denzi]

...seriously?

Where'd he get the box?

 

[L__]

He made it in the Prison Workshop

managed to elude detection in the box he had built himself at a workshop in the high security prison of Auxerre, Burgundy.

 

[Omnicron's Baklava Enterprises]

Once again, the French prove how much they suck.

Racist.

Back on Topic:
How extremely intelligent of an escape plan that was. Or an extremely dull-brained performance on the guards' side.
Awful, yet ingenious.
I am amazed.

 

[AlexoftheAura]

If he escaped in such a way, I think he may have earned his freedom.

 

[~Radiance~]

hahaha, great job snake. The guards must have been like this when they saw he was missing

 

[Pikaville]

I wonder if he had this in his head while he was escaping?

[~Radiance~]

meh, i think the enemy music wouldve been cooler.

 

[Pikaville]

^^^^^Agreed!

 

[~Radiance~]

hahaha, just imagine that.

or escaping to this would sound badass to

[Mota]

It's the real life Snake, this is awesome!

The guy even has wood and forest knowledge. MGS3 ^^

 

[Tom]

Awe some.

 

[choknater]

What a guy...

It's humorous to see that stories like this could happen in real life. I mean he is an evil murderer, but manly prison breaks just have to be admired.

Whether he gets caught again or not... won't change the fact that he did it.

 

[Teran]

It's because this guy wasn't guarding Snake's cell.

 

[choknater]

lol @ ddd as a prison guard cging real life escapees

 

[Fuelbi]

*Wonders what liquid ocelot had to do with this*

I wonder what box he was using. Manly people would use a fed ex box...... but girly people would use an xbox three sixty box(and yes I wrote 360 down in words)

 

[Elder Sister]

lol metal gear style.
fine line between genius and insanity

but we all have to admit, that deserves respect

 

[COHEED AND CAMBRIA]

This proves why snake is top tier

 

[Fuelbi]

I dont know why but the first thing thst pops up as being snakes/this french prisoners guard is meta knight..

 

[Anth0ny]

I lol'd. Hard.

 

[Shade613]

I amazed that a Frenchie pulled this of. I was expecting a Russian but, I guess Frenchie gaurds make up for the fact that a Frenchie could excape.

"Frenchie"?
Mon Dieu, you're racist... ;_;

I am half French, thank you very much.
On Topic:

It must have been quite cramped in the box.

 

[Junpappy]

I wonder if he said "It's showtime" as he escaped from the lorry.

 

[Kei_Takaro]

How oh-so bittersweet =D
SRSLY they should take him into the FBI or sumthin, he'll be awesome.

*inserts awesome face

 

[Proverbs]

This is ridiculous. Treiber for top tier.

 

[adumbrodeus]

What's with the French hate?


You guys realized we admired them, not until they lost in WWII (the Marquis were VERY courageous), up until relatively recently, the French foreign legion was where movie-makers went for action heroes and we generally had a good impression of the French in terms of courage and manliness.


That is until the French decided that they were gonna play nice with the Russians in the Cold War, in America that was unpopular, so we started portraying them as cowards, even though it made political sense. This view was expanded when they opposed us in Iraq.



This escape was maddd manly, and I don't think bad guards had anything to do with it, it was just too good.

 

[Kei_Takaro]

I'd be surprised if he carried some Dizepam (not too sure with the spelling XD)

No racists allowed in the thread

 

[Fuelbi]

I think we make french jokes considering canadians are part french and well.... all they got are the meese, hockey, and the eh?

 

[UberMario]

Erm, meese? as in the plural of moose? We have those too, and hockey.

 

[Kantō]

thats ****ing crazy, i wonder if thats how he got the idea haha
