It looks like this Good Samaritan is Jewish. If his name doesn't give it away, the picture of him with his family should be more obvious. The short video was informative, glad to see the POS who shot him has been apprehended.

CAN be heroes but are NOT heroes when they do what they are paid to do.
Hero is for something that they do beyond their call and risk themselves to save others.
Spraying water on fire is not a hero nor treating patients.

But not all people being paid to do things are equal. A firefighter/cop might go above and beyond what is normally done to help and this could be considered heroic.

Of course, above and beyond.
Even soldiers who put their life at risk are not considered hero otherwise we won't have very few receiving medals.
Yes, their job is heroic due to nature but just because of that doesn't make each a hero.

You have to do above and beyond what you signed up for to be considered something more up to being a hero.

"Oh my god, you are a hero" definitely comes out if a doctor fixes a broken leg but that is not a hero.

To set the record straight, the man who risked his life to save the young woman who was being kidnapped was Jewish.

HATERS ARE GOING TO HATE! No matter the logic RIGHT in their faces.

These Dr. had homes destroyed as well and worked nearly 24/7 right along with "WHITE people" while having Their Church(MOSQUE) burnt down AND GETTING TREATED LIKE 2ND CLASS CITIZENS AT THE SAME TIME.

THAT MAKES THEM HEROES!

Yes, what he did was very brave and worthy to call a hero.

I see the NICE MAN FROM PAKISTAN from the midwest made his inciteful post and hit the road when the finger is pointed at him.

HATERS ARE GOING TO HATE! No matter the logic RIGHT in their faces. Regardless of Race or Nationality

We can argue all non whites are treated as 2nd class if you read news from blacks to Asians to others.
You can call them whatever but they are not going to get any medals not presidential awards for a hero.
