Thread: Think about it... Would you do what these brave people did?

OMG! These people need a medal!!
I have been in a situation where help was needed.. It was in vain..
The young man did end up dying.. It was very upsetting.. Untill his family called me and thanked me for the assistance I did offer..

Im a motorcycle rider.. So I wouldnt have even thought about it before helping..
This makes my heart swell thinking there are still people willing to throw personal safety to the side to help save another human life...

Heros in my book..

Maybe it's just the way I was raised, or the way I'm wired, but I don't think they did anything extraordinary. Sure they were put in a situation that is out of the ordinary, but to me there actions were, to me, absolutely called for. Not brave and heroic, simply on par. I'd call them good people, but not heroes.

Agreed.. 100%.. But in todays day and age.. Where most people are not wired like you and I.. Heros.. Plain and simple..
Now where I come from.. (Friends and family..) I would expect no less..
But we are a bunch of good ol boys who were raised to serve God, Country and fellow man..

I guess you're right. It's truly sickening. Especially after hearing that horrible story.

It is indeed sad that today's people, are so inconsiderate for their fellow man, or woman. In self defense classes they teach women to scream "FIRE" before "Help", or "RAPE" because more often people ignore those because they don't want to get drawn up in the conflict.

Less than 50 years ago, if someone was getting attacked or in trouble everyone in the immediate area wouldn't even think twice about making it right, but by today's standards, you take care of yourself first, and others... when there's time. Sickens me the way we have seemed to evolve

But it does warm my heart, to think that there are people who still will do whats right, no matter the consequence, those that were closest to the fender was in the most danger, those flames were huge.
