He was clearly raised right, unlike the losers who would deride his heroic actions.


As an FYI, many of us believe in God and heaven, and hopefully this young man is up there now. !

Well im far from a liberal, but I dont like to get too much into the God/Heaven thing. You could say I'm more of the, here and now type. And if that was my son or little brother, I would take little solace in knowing he died so that others can live.

Being raised to take a bullet for somebody doesnt mean you were raised right, it could mean you raised with a bunch of B.S. Depends on how you look at it

What good does it do that family knowing the kid died risking his life for people. They wont get to see or talk to him again and that's gotta hurt

So being raised to protect women, the elderly, and/or defenseless doesn't mean you were raised right?
If everyone was only worried about themselves, there would be no selfless acts of jumping into a raging river to help someone who might otherwise drown. Or go into a burning building to save a baby or injured child for fear of being burned.
I could come up with hundreds of examples where people will risk their own health and safety for complete strangers, and I am not talking about the professionals whose job it is to do so.


Yet I imagine this concept is lost on some people, and more's the pity.

Go figure.

What does BLM have to do with this fine young man's death? I know it is difficult for you to pass up an opportunity to announce your disdain for BLM. It's an obsession. I fear that you are suffering from a severe case of sematic satiation.

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^
While it's true that (some) cops have done bad things to black people, and to be totally honest the population in general it's been proven over and over again the biggest threat to black people is other black people.

BLM, Al (I've never met a tragedy I didn't make money on) Sharpton and Jesse (I've never met a company I couldn't squeeze money from) Jackson should jump on this young hero and make HIM their poster boy for change.

this is so sad...why does #blacklivesmatter not go crazy over this kind of senseless killing? instead they defend the guy who pulls a gun on cops and then gets killed....
