Hero in shooting: He was going to have to work to kill me

[@KristinaBowen]

Real af. He said , "This was a selfish act... It worked to my favor.." That's an honest man right there. Still a hero.

[@ulisescarrillo3050]

Kristina M Bowen that's what I'm saying. But in general this man was well raised, selfish or not was the best thing to do, this man was raised in a way that he felt like fighting when problems comes not run from them, because most of the people would run or take their phones out we need more man like this

[@RedBricksTraffic]

He's a sort of Randian Archetypal hero, in a sense.

What honesty, it takes a lot to say, "hey I was no hero, I was scared, fighting for my OWN life, thinking only of me." Someone should inform him, it's not the SELFLESSNESS that makes you a hero. It's the COURAGE, to confront this guy even though you were scared for your life. That's the thing most people wouldn't do.

[@gaiusjuliuscaesar7761]

What an amazing person! I think in situations like that, everyone is looking to save their own skin, the brave few that admit that are the truly honorable. I’m so glad Mr. Shaw was there to act.

[@k9dogtraining]

Years ago, I took a Social Problems class. Teacher told us that a lot of the war bravery we hear about were probably people who had a death wish (traumatic stress). Not really out to save their teammates.

[@BenjaminKanarek]

Hear, hear...indeed a very fine person!

[@k9dogtraining]

Sorry. Didn't mean to imply this person had a death wish. I was speaking specifically about people who are traumatized in wars. I was comparing those types of heroes to this type of hero who was out to save himself. I was saying that people do "heroic" things for different reasons - often time not altruistic.

[@tylerking439]

k9dogtraining DUDE calm down with the stupidity

[@OutcastMosquito]

k9dogtraining You’re the only one to admit it. I applaud you. He even said it himself “it was either him or me”. He didn’t do it with the surrounding public in mind, he did it in fear of getting shot himself. Heroes are selfless. I would’ve done it in the same way BUT would’ve wanted to save myself AND anyone else who was near.

[@tuesdaypatience]

He looks so nervous and uncomfortable having all this attention...this humility only makes his actions all the more inspiring.

[@coughpillbox748]

Think about it realistically, although he knows that he did the right thing, he must feel like he's trying to justify his own glorification for killing another man, all while in front of a bunch of old white guys. It must've felt surreal

[@tuesdaypatience]

roxy Magic I'm confused - no one said anything negative. We were both praising him.

[@tuesdaypatience]

roxy Magic I think there is a miscommunication...his discomfort just seemed to be coming from all this attention when he doesn't feel he did anything heroic...and that makes it all the more authentic.

[@s4dreamland671]

This man saved a lot of people's loved ones today. Deserves a Medal of Heroism.

[@mellosays]

Well, Mr. Shaw, you're at the least a very courageous man. Of course it was an act of self-defense, a natural reaction for self-preservation. It's called instinct. But most people would just cower and cry, and this is what makes you a hero because a hero is not more than someone who reacts at the right moment with courage, and this is what you did. I am just so glad you came out alive. All the best to you.

[@sweetdreams334766]

He is his own hero. He set out to save himself. And he succeeded. And by doing so he also saved many others. There is no shame in fighting to live, or that the only thought is survival. Only by saving yourself, can you help others. No matter what, you have done well. I am proud!

[@mr9rakib1]

Its true he is not a hero, he is not black panthar superman or terminator. Because those were fake. He is a real super hero. May be he called himself selfish but during that time his selfishness saved other people.

I would agree with you that race shouldn't come into it - this guy is a hero, period, but I'm afraid this President does not acknowledge anyone of color - for example La David Johnson, totally ignored. Any other President would have already invited this guy to the White House or at least acknowledged him in a message - I'm still waiting. I think most of the contributors in this thread would agree that this is a pretty poor show.

[@thehotel5758]

Bait.

[@joanr6915]

I think you are describing yourself. This young man is a credit to any nation and I guess the vast majority of Americans are disgusted that the President has not acknowledged his bravery by now. If he'd been white, and the victims had been white, it would have been a different story. Also, I don't think this hero considers himself to be a 'poor black' person. He's college educated, he's got a good job, lives in a nice home, got a lovely daughter he's proud of, in other words a hard working member of society. Such a shame he doesn't conform to your stereotype. Have a nice day.

[@joanr6915]

Jeepers, you need to calm down. Also, I managed to reply to you without making it personal. I don't lower myself to insult people if they have different views to me based on their own life experiences. When or if Trump independently and without prompting congratulates this hero, you will receive my humblest apologies for suggesting he ignores people like him. Until then, I will declare that because of his past actions, especially in business, IN MY OPINION, the President is a racist and I'm quite sure he loathes having to pin medals on folks who are not white. Apart from sychophantic Ben Carson, there isn't one person of color in his government - is there? He didn't rent his properties to POC, did he? You are welcome to have your own opinion on him but I base my opinion on what is on historical public record, i.e. not Fake News. Have a good day.

If the colors had been reversed, people would have brought race into, so yes we are going to take the opportunity to point out a black person proving that we are often misjudged.

[@hklionheart8265]

@ reversecourse - Such a petulant response as yours shows exactly the reason why our society is polarized the way that it is today. Funny, the only single thing that you could draw from my comment was "race" even though I did not use the word "race" anywhere in my original comment. The real problem with people that think like you do, is that you don't want to discuss the truth. You'd rather sweep the truth under the rug and say, let's all move on and just forget about it. The only way we can settle race relations in this country is to honestly face it head on - like seriously talk about it, not hide from the truth. This country was created and built on race. You can't hide from your own shadow. Or can you? The real problem is NOT discussing race. The real problem is hiding it!

[@reversecourse]

H Keshi Why did you even mention color in the first place?

[@hklionheart8265]

@ reversecourse - I am glad you asked a question this time, and you didn't just simply react or lash out at me. A proper question always deserves a proper answer. Remember the incident at Starbucks? It was only a few days ago. And what do you think that was all about? It will be dishonest and disingenuous to say that it was not about color or race. Even many non-black witnesses present there attested to that fact. You see, it is impossible for many people in this great country of ours to ever know what it is like to be a victim of 'color' and "racial-profiling" because they are not persons of color. To feel what it's like to get "profiled" every single time you step out of your house and get in your car to drive or get on a bus or a train or to even walk into a restaurant or a dept store such as Walmart. Even when you walking down the sidewalk (Remember Trayvon Martin?) His only "crime" was that he was a Black kid, walking down the sidewalk in his dad's neighborhood and wearing a hoodie, and then someone (George Zimmerman) who thought that he did not belong there, proceeded to confront him and got in his face. And Trayvon lost his life, for no good reason. There is a color or race problem every where we go in this country and we should all talk about it, in an open and honest manner. If you go back and read my post once again (in context), you will notice that color was NOT the only thing or the main issue that I was talking about. The reason why it was important for me to mention this young brave man's color at all is because there are still millions of people who walk around in this country and troll on the internet, constantly attacking Black people, and always stating that "All Black people" are this or that or whatever. That they are criminals, lazy and are all no good. Therefore, in those people's minds, they want to believe and preach that nonsense that a Black man can never be a hero. For centuries, our government and institutions and the media have greatly perpetuated and contributed to this myth and stereotype, and unfortunately, they continue to do so. Therefore, in order for us to begin to reverse racism, we have to begin to acknowledge all that has happened and also recognize all of the positives. Not all White people are bad. And not all Black people are bad either. It should be about the character and the character only, NOT the color. I hope that one day, we would have moved so far beyond all of these shenanigans and gotten rid of all our stereotypes, that this will not even matter at all. But, we know that we are NOT there yet! I hope I have responded to your question. It was a good question.

[@carly4654]

I wish people would stop with all the racial nonsense. Whether he is African American or Caucasian, the man saved lives, albeit he admitted that it was during the process of trying to save his own life, he saved lives. Let us be thankful for that. End of story.

[@mortvid]

Hailey Brown you are a sad human being

[@starrgazer9]

Hailey Brow You forgot to take your meds?

[@youme503]

Its never end of story when it comes to race whites and blacks have never had closure on certain issues

[@carly4654]

you me, that is why we need to end the cycle. I know that for some people, it is ingrained in them from their grandparents and parents that African American people are an inferiority race and they continue to teach their children that instead of ending the cycle and looking at everyone as a human being. African Americans, while I admit are wary because of the past, also cannot walk around with a chip on their shoulder for the rest of their lives blaming every Caucasian person for things that were done to their ancestors. Everything that happens, people are quick to divide into African American versus Caucasian, how about just addressing it as Americans.

[@carly4654]

Hailey Brown, no need for the profanity, particularly since you don't know me but choose to address me as a bitch. Not sure why you think it is minimizing the situation by not wanting to bring race into it. The man saved lives, does it really matter what race he was?

[@inquiz-ahteev]

Thank you Sir. God Bless you and yours. Such honesty and humility. What an amazing act of courage! Call it self preservation, however you saved so many lives.

[@23stone23]

Some of you are sick. That smile and awkward chuckle, sounded like a nervous response. This interview is also edited. He definitely thanked God in the uncut version. He has the joy of being alive. But whatever you wanna call it, no matter what his motivation. Of course, he saved others and kept himself alive for his daughter, but being honest in saying at that moment he was thinking of himself. Until you have been in a traumatic and highly stressed situation, you do not think, trust me some of us understand. I know I did not in a house fire in my past. We need to find our Human decency and human spirit and stop being so negative and hateful.

[@23stone23]

Also as it got closer to the end, he began to lose his composure and you could see realization truly hit him

[@lightyearsfromhome1165]

Ajmal Alim Fox News: In other news a black mans attempt to not pay at a waffle house was successful as he assaulted a white man. As a side note 4 individuals were shot while watching the assault. Police were called for further questioning. Rumours are that one of the individuals had no clothes on. This pretty much would sum up the story by Fox Fasciest Channel.

He is a very good man! I always question the intent of the term "well spoken" when referring to Black men, especially. I never hear nor read of the term when referring to white individuals. There happen to be many Black men and women who are very educated, intelligent, and masters in speaking. Contrary, I am familiar with white individuals who are not as sharp in their public speaking skills.
