Just to show (as if proof were needed) that heroes come in all colours.

If you'd asked him if he'd risk his life in such a way before the event, what would he have said?

 

It's good to see something positive.

[Walsingham]

I don't think anyone knows how they'll react before an event like that, or even from one event to the next. But I do think the reaction says a lot.

What a brave and selfless man... I really hope he recovers from his injuries

Now there, in a world where the word so often is misused, is a hero.

Yup. A fantastic no-argument instance.

[Vashanti]

Good man, very cool indeed.

 

I'm not sure how it works in that nation, but I hope he gets a medal.

Good story. Good person. Good man.

A sefless act like that deserves praise. I wish him the best of luck and a speedy recovery. My biggest hope though is that his story, or any other similar story for that matter, will inspire others to do the same.

I hope it inspires people to stop putting bombs in public places to blow up innocent third parties in the misguided hope to get a royal box in heaven with 77 virgins.

[Dark Moth]

Amen.

Guy's a hero, plain and simple. We need more people like him, and the doctors had better do a damned good job on helping him to heal.
