Ludovic Boumbas, from France
Hailed as a hero of the Paris massacre, Ludovic (known as Ludo) died after throwing himself in front of a bullet, saving Chloe Clement who is recovering in hospital.
Ludo reportedly launched himself at the crazed fanatic gunman in a hail of bullets. He was one of 11 friends at a birthday celebration who died.
Today, his friends paid tribute to Ludo's selfless bravery and called him 'a hero'.
An unnamed friend told Le Parisien: 'Ludo threw himself forward to protect a girl and took the bullet. She was also shot, but she survived and is in hospital.

(70,581 posts)Helene lost her life at the Bataclan concert. Her husband ANtoine Leiris posted an incredibly moving message on Facebook telling the terrorists: "I will not grant you the gift of my hatred".
He said: "I saw her this morning. At last, after nights and days of waiting. She was as beautiful as when she left on Friday evening, as beautiful as when I fell head over heels in love with her more than 12 years ago.
"Of course I am devastated with grief, I grant you this small victory, but it will be short-lived.
"I know she will be with us every day and we will find each other in heaven with free souls which you will never have.
"Us two, my son and I, we will be stronger than every army in the world."

bush and Cheney just had to get into Iraq and "stir things up" which in turn
has now morphed into ISIS.
One of the reasons France gave for not getting involved in w & Cheney's iraq war
was that it might unsettle the mid east and "the blow back" might be deadly and
sadly they were right.
And now that unelected mother fucker is painting puppy pictures.

That is if you read DU.
Only three days after this horrible atrocity and liberal/Democratic social media is totally wrapped-up in what is effectively a side issue.
