Hero

[stonebreakerwasgod]

It is hard to make something good out of a tragic event which occured at Vtech. But the Romanian professor, who selflessly and bravely gave his own life, was a true hero in every sense of the word. I wish his name was more common so that I could remember it. Not too often that you witness or hear about something that heroic. With all the talk about one evil/demented individual, it is good to remember all the good in most people's heart.

He was a holocaust survivor and insanely intelligent judging by his profile here. http://www.esm.vt.edu/php/person.php?id=10023 He was a true hero.

He came to America to visit & loved it so much that he decided to stay. He is a true American hero. He repaid his debt to this great country w/ the ultimate sacrifice & should be saluted for this.

Absolutely agree...a true American hero.

Salute this man for his courage in the face of adversity...and eventual death. God Speed, Sir...

I really wish the media would take these stories and run with them more often than focusing so much on the pain that is present. Rather than showing this coward's video manifesto or publishing his demented writings, talk about and show the true American Heros that are out there and convince this nation that there still is a wealth of heroism and honor in this country rather than the twisted egotistical lowlifes that feel it is their right to rid this country of good people because they were shunned or whatever bogus reasons they seem to justify their madness with.

God Bless this man and the countless other who passed because of cowardice, they are now in a much better place.

Last night Dennis Miller said, "Do the math. He was about 12 for the Nazis. He probably looked through the window of that door and recognized the same cold, shark eye stare." It wasn't going to happen again.
