damn what a story, real life hero dude

The lives he saved…

Respect, indeed! ✊

freakin heroic

I remember reading about this when his murder was announced. I can't begin to imagine the horrors he suffered until they beheaded him. He saved history

You are a certified hero, Justin.

That is a good man.

IMO the most beautiful and brilliant woman Hollywood ever saw.

GNU Neerja 🕯 😔

Irena Sendlerowa should be on this list, too. She was a badáss in Poland.

That poor, poor girl. What a tragedy.

Survived the nazis but lost his life to some fücking loser with a gun....

Hero

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Mart%C3%ADnez Her 20-yo daughter was kidnapped. The family paid two ransoms, including getting a loan from a company that specialized in loans for ransoms. Two yrs later, her daughter's body was found. Miriam Rodriguez helped capture 10 of her daughter's murderers. However, Rodríguez was killed on 10 May 2017, the day Mexico celebrates Mother's Day. She was shot 12 times by gunmen who broke into her home, and died on her way to the hospital

This is what mothers will do for their children. Mission accomplished, Miriam.

NOTHING is stronger than a mother's love. It's unreal. Humbling.

There are several short documentaries on Miriam Rodriguez on YouTube that are really good to watch. I also would recommend watching some of the documentaries about the insane amount of Cartels that are in Mexico. At this point not even resort towns are safe and there are travel advisories for city and popular vacation spots all over Mexico. One of the many reasons that a lot of Southern states are desperate for stricter border security is because not EVERYONE that comes across that border has good intentions. Oklahoma is the crossroads for I-40 east/west and I-35 north/south and the amount of arrests that have been made for human, sex and d**g trafficking in our state is insane. Sadly that's only a small fraction of what is actually being caught coming through from across the border, so they need to come up with SOMETHING to help stop or slow it down.

damn. it sounds a bollywood movie plot, but in mexico instead of mumbai...

And a$$holes like that are coming across our border in Californiastan.

Her name was Leda, Leda Radić.

Hear the toll of the bell, over six months in hell

F**k all of them

I read this. And the real kicker is, he can't read. He just did it to protect treasures from terrorists..

Hey, you with the phone? F**k you

Small acts can lead to tremendous results.

You don't mess with Gurkas.

Brave man.

Although he explained the meeting with Tolkien was just a chance passing in a pub and he was too starstruck to say anything.

Halifax harbour. There's a Canadian "Heritage Minute" on this.

We owe so much to the doctors and nurses who worked tirelessly during the pandemic to save lives. Including mine.

Oh yes I read about this - they thought he was stupid because he didn't speak, just hummed the tune of Old MacDonald Had a Farm. He was, of course, memorising names.

The guy was amazing. I tried running about 300 metres around our local track the other day, and was out of breath my the end. To do it with that primitive prosthetic that must have rubbed and ached like hell is incredible.

She survived Auschwitz. Anything else must seem like a walk in the park.

The best way we can honour all those who set foot on the beaches during D-Day is to safeguard the democracy they laid their lives down for.

well done girl

Poor wee baby. I hope their family was safe, too.

Holy s**t.

That’s insane. An average of 30 funerals per weekday. I know it’s not all active service deaths. It includes people long since retired, etc but it’s still a hell of a big number.

Quick thinking, sir.

Frenk Reinartz. none of you know, or care about him but he was my friend. in 2009 I found him dead in his bed. -------- after searching I've found this https://adoc.pub/22-november-h-vormsel-8-november-1800-u-st-maartensoptocht-a.html unreal. He was a Pink Floyd fan like me, got paralysed after driving his father's muscle car and crashing it. He lived for almost 18 years after that Screenshot...9df499.png

A man with INTEGRITY! I wish there were more like Sgt. Carney in the world today.

She kneed one in the nuts but didnt actually shoot anyone

the amount of will and work needed to overcome addiction should never be disregarded

that's kinda cool !!

George Pickering III had to serve one year in jail. The only full story I could find that want behind a paywall is on: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/dad-from-three-hour-armed-hospital-standoff-that-saved-his-sons-life-is-fre/

21st century Europe. Unbelievably scandalous. Yet, there are those who would cut aid for Ukraine.

I was just wondering why I didn't hear about this in the news, but it turns out the Reddit thread this is from is three years old, so it wasn't one week ago, it was three years ago.

Looks like she's done talking.

It’s not just miraculous that she survived but wasn’t severely injured and was able to walk 9 days and find help.

Hero.

ultimate ragga move, being saved from a gunshot by your locks

poor polar bear

Eight days?!! Wow.
