@cpgreen10@ABC Maybe it was the way I worded my response, but I said basically the same as you. Yet, for some reason I'm getting wounded in the comments. I think its funny, but its interesting that you don't have any comments. 😄
@laurieroy7889@ABC If a policeman ran into a burning building to save someone... yes. Because they would be making a rescue that is outside of their scope and training. That is the definition of "above and BEYOND". Same goes for the others.
@Claytonhel68180@ABC Medal of honor recipients actually went above and beyond their normal duties. They know what they did was extraordinary, but they can't say that. They have to be humble. This kid made a fine rescue, but it is still within the NORMAL parameters of his job.
@rde_Vane@ABC What have I done or said that indicates I want fanfare. I never post and rarely comment. I also prefaced that it was a controversial opinion. And "asshole"? thats the best you could do? For someone who acts like they know me, that was a super weak insult.
@DaraLewis210862@ABC No he didn't. Thats my point. It's literally his job to rescue people. If he was just a normal citizen, with no training and he made the rescue or organized a human chain rescue, then I might be more impressed. There are lifeguard reality shows that have these same rescues.
@Bsoy757@ABC Thats not at all what I'm saying at all. He's not the one making a big deal out of it. My point, since it went over your head, was that those types of saves happen every day and if it hadn't been recorded, it wouldn't have become national news. Like I said, glad everyone's alive.
@ABC Y'all are going wild... I was a lifeguard from 16 til i 26. As someone sarcastically said, "just a run of the mill rescue". YES! Lifeguards do this everyday. Hell, even more harrowing acts. I'm not saying he can't get recognized. For him, its just another day as a lifeguard.
@ABC I want to preface my controversial opinion by acknowledging the fact that I'm happy he was there to make the save and everybody is safe and alive... HOWEVER, he was just doing his job. If it wasn't filmed, no one would have known and there would not be any fanfare.
@shorebird2516@ABC That case happened in 93-94 so I just looked it up. He was found guilty of vandalism and sentenced to jail time, a fine, and 6 lashes... the US president (Bill Clinton) couldn't even sway them much. They did reduced the lashes from 6 to 4. I'm not sure it really matters after 3.
@ThomasG18488187@Patrickwebb All of the major news organizations have used the same arguments im court that particular segments were considered entertainment rather than a straight news. The majority of traditional news programs have shifted more towards commentary segments rather than doing straight news.
@truth2pow3rTX@CollinRugg I will have to get more information (i.e. re-watch the highlights) and take what you've said into consideration. That said, there were several very easy questions that she just evaded and refused to answer. "Yes." and "No." are both complete sentences.
@CollinRugg At the very end he should have asked it selling mugs that said "white" or "Caucasian" Power mug would be appropriate. Ill bet she would have said no real quick then.
@AdamCrigler They made such a big deal out of these 2 being in the movie, I literally had no idea who else was in it. All the trailers/clips/images I saw, included these 2. So to me, it was advertised as a bowl of soup that was full of pubic hairs. Not something I wanted, so it turned me off
