So every teacher that died in the school shooting is a hero now.

[Quickerblade]

fuck the media lies, who makes up this shit, im reading that the adults that died were jumping to shield the kids from the bullets..Thats some bullshit right there.
Im hearing on radio some 6 year old is a hero cause he ran with 3 other kids down the hallway, and stayed behind them to make sure they were ok..Theres no hero in this, just bodies. no need to sugar coat it.

Facts are facts but this hero shit is too much, that dude ran in a class room, all the kids were either hiding under there table or ran to a corner and he mowed them down

[Quickerblade]

just like the captain is supposed to leave a sinking ship as last guy, its all bs

when the shit hits the metaphorical fan, everyone looks for his own best interest, even moreso than under normal circumstances where ppl are selfish too.

Agreed.

A tragedy happened, adults shot dead, kids shot dead.
No need to twist shit and lie and manufacture hero tales of teachers jumping infront of bullets. thats fucken lies right there, just a story to make the public feel a bit better.
My thoughts, prayers are with the families that lost there kid or mum/dad. But please dont make up shit

[MikMaq]

Calm the fuck down,  no one here actually gives a shit, their just going through so panzy ass rationalization of why bad shit happens. Stop pretending you actually care.

At best it's entertainment. Nothing more.

[mass243]

Yes. I hate how the hero -concept has been trampled down to ground these days. Sad.

The concept of the hero is a evolutionary carry over where humans try to put god like qualities on living people. It's pathetic weak minded shit.

I don't know.  I think when kids are involved instincts whether paternal or not take over.

I don't know any adult that I'm close to who would let a child die in front of them without doing anything.

This.  Fabrication of this nature also undermines the rare instances when people actually do act with selfless bravery.

That's not exactly true.  

While most people would think nothing of sacrificing their lives for their *own* kids, many of those same people *would* think twice before saving someone else's child if there was a great likelihood of their own death.

I read somewhere there was a toddler in an F16 opening fire on the shooter - this proves that people here are way too cynical to understand how many able bodied heroes are out there.

This kind of shit detracts from the people that actually do commit heroic acts in extreme situations. It does get irritating. Everyone wants to believe their loved ones died heroically instead of the reality that most died cowering in fear.

[Jizzacked]

I have not read one article about this entire situation... and don't plan to anytime soon.

A hero is someone who protects the group's interest instead of his own even if it's at his own expense, risking to die for them. Some people have been raised to act that way, most atheists arent raised that way. When you come from a family where parents werent even able to stay together in the interest of both themselves and kids, obviously you re not going to learn how to do much for others.
Anyway, you dont know how you re going to react in such an event. In fact it all depends how you were raised. Im sure some happy kids loved by their parents actually might have attempted to help other kids or adults. I see kids coming from stable (rich or poor) families spontaneously helping other kids or adults once in a while.
These behaviors are normal, logical, especially coming from kids. One teacher locked herself and kids in a room. All of this is for real, it hasnt been invented to sugar coat anything. Fact is some people will react one way, while others will react another. The way someone reacts is conditionned by the way he or she was raised.

I think a hero would have disarmed the gunman then hit a front double bi.

It's true of me and my close friends and relatives.   I could say for a fact I would give my life to help a child in need.  Mine, your's, or whoever.

Guess that means we can scratch you off the potential hero list.

No one knows how they would react untill they are put in that situation!

There were probably very few heroes at that school.  The heroes who faced the killer are dead.  Those teachers who lived...

This is true, there was not one hero here, just bodybags of victims.
