I wonder what he thought the difference that five minutes makes truly was.
Life or death
Usually theirs. Especially in active shooter situations sadly. In that scenario you can guarantee I will not be playing hero.
I'm no hero, but I wouldn't hesitate to stop an active shooter even if I'm unarmed. It isn't even a question.
That's not hero stuff. That's just normal human empathy.
Good for you? My son needs me. Sorry but that's when I choose to be selfish.
Hey may bad I wasn't directing my comment directly at you. Just a general thought about that type of situation. People throw around the term hero when they see people just doing what I think most good people would do.
I totally understand what you mean in regards to your child, however I do believe that no child deserves to have a coward for a parent.
So brave
Thanks. I try to be, and so should you.
