Remember when Heroism was rewarded?

NRiderUSA · 07-30-2009, 04:24 PM

What kind of world we are turning into. The America where people used to stop if someone was hurt, stopped a man from beating his wife or children.... where is it going and why is it being penalized and not rewarded?

This is a sign of the times we have entered into, guy breaks into a house through a skylight.. falls cuts himself badly.. and has the right to sue the home owners, someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night and you shot them, your on trial defending why you have a gun....etc etc etc.. where are the rights for the "right" anymore???

Are we being programmed and trained to be sheep? Are we becoming just part of a collective group of insects now?
Thinking as an individual is being tagged and bagged with negative labels and looked down upon as something that is wrong.

This news clip is just one more for the "We dont need another Hero" attitude and philosophy of our country.

I think if I lived in that neighbourhood I would never step into that store again. I can have a policy that I need to uphold also.

You would think that if more people stood up like these maybe crime rate would slow because the bad guys were actually "afraid" of the good guys...... here's another example of be a sheep rules....
