We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
Actually Sandy, I've met a ton of really really nice homeless people. Like...nicer than most average people. Sometimes hardship can make a person's heart softer and more caring rather than darker and more bitter. It depends on the individual's character.

Like I said. I wasn't encompassing all homeless people under jaded and remorseless. Depends on the people. Which, frankly, I would never bet or rely on people's good sides over their bad sides. Not with the particular homeless people I've seen, anyway.

So what you are saying is that I can't be a good person unless I'm homeless. Right?
you're a lot less likely to risk your life

you people are getting butthurt over accurate descriptors because "oh mah god it totally takes away from how brave he is when you consider facts about his life wahhh". no one's saying he isn't brave because he's homless get over yourselves.
Uh no I'm saying you guys are discrediting him as person and acting like his homelessness is the reason he saved that person and not the fact he was simply a good person.
if you can't appreciate the quality of someone's character while recognizing what shapes that character that's 100% your problem m8
I appreciate this guy far more than you, because I'm treating the him like a human being and not basing everything off his circumstance.
sure
if to you "homeless" means not a human being
That isn't what I'm saying you stupid sack of shit. Pay attention.

If he was a soldier, police officer, firefighter, convict, or whatever, it's irrelevant. He did that because he's a good person. Not because of anything else.
if a firefighter died saving someone, the title being "firefighter sacrifices self" you wouldn't say "wtf he's a human not defined by his career"
That's actually exactly what I would say. That's been my whole fucking point all along.
well you need some aderall then if more specific details about someone distracts you
Nothing distracts me. You're the one being distracted by him being homeless. It's irrelevant to me.
Its pretty obvious that Challenger is saying that the title the person has whether its homeless, soldier, firefight or police officer what you are doesn't define you, its your action. And this man sacrificed himself to save another person, a stranger, he is a good person not because he is homeless but because he acted heroically.
Who's to say that giving that information isn't relevant? Here's someone who's been shit out by society and experienced worse things than most anyone will, yet here he is saving someone selflessly. The context makes it all the more admirable, someone who experienced that would have good reason to hate the world, yet he didn't.

Wouldn't it technically just net bonus points on top of that though because he was homeless?

In a fair number of cases, homeless people can be fairly jaded and self centered. They have to be if they want to survive their situation. Not saying all of them are like that, of course. But in most cases, a homeless person wouldn't give a fuck.
Well, extra points don't hurt.

And that is how a MAN dies. Selflessly and without fear. He saved a life. Hopefully she doesn't waste her second chance. Someone paid a heavy price for it.

I neither fear, nor despise.
When the cops all started shooting I was surprised since the good samaritan was right next to the gunman, and he limped over and leaned against the wall. The gunman just sat there getting shot.

He was probably stunned from all the shots he was getting
