Parents did an excellent job raising him right. Now if all parents would teach their children to respect, understand, and show kindness to those of all races.

[@BluJuiice]

PM Snowraven I really don't think anyone would choose not to save someone because of their race. Especially if it happens so quickly.

[@carolinemercedes9580]

Conor Ryan you'd be surprised actually

[@brittneewinfrey9559]

Caroline Mercedes i agree. It might be hard to face, but I do believe it would make a difference.

[@ethano7358]

PM Snowraven I don't think it has anything to do with race just a good honorable person willing to do amazing things to help other.

[@joshuamyers78]

[@alair9286]

This man is so inspiring. He's a real hero. Kids should be looking up to people like this who are selfless and caring rather than people like Kim kardashian who is selfish and self absorbed.

[@elizabethcopsey3791]

hasani hall no what she is saying is a man this kind. guys now a days are only looking for one night stands and never stand up for others.

[@TeqHDcasper]

Lol ur so wrong, Maybe dont always look at the ones u see first.

[@roberthamilton1005]

what and woman arent? why do you people have to specify "guys". Like who are the guys having one night stands with? women that are also having one night stands. And of course you dont have many guys taking bullets for strangers no one would but if your going to single out males then ill just say that their is more men that take bullets for strangers than their is females so hush now and sit down feminist.

[@roberthamilton1005]

because that elizabeth said that all guys do nowadays is have one night stands and never stand up for others like wtf.

[@jamessandoval5076]

I'm also clapping hands along with the audience here in my room

[@standardtlc8279]

Bless his heart ❣ he’s one great human being if only we was all as thoughtful and caring as this guy 🙂

If this doesn't make you tear up.. honestly.
This mas was so brave most people would run. There is humanity in some people! This man honestly is an Angel on Earth.

[@Jessica-ce3mv]

Wow, this gentleman is the whole package. Kind, brave, well educated, and also very attractive inside & out. Lucky wife or husband (idk his sexual preference) who gets to marry him. This right here, is someone whom we should all have in our lives and inspire to be. A good samaritan.

[@mariemorgan4986]

[@jae3612]

It feels so good to know there's still these kind of people in our world

[@umairrocky2286]

This kind of people are everything, they live there life fully because they have original heart

[@mizzcrazygal]

What a great and extremely brave man! I feel like nowadays if someone's was suffering in the streets no one would come and help them.. I've seen some video on UA-cam like where an actor would pretend to be in pain to see how the public would react and literally no One came to help.

because it was an "actor" not an "actress"

[@mastertrey4683]

yeah there's way too many pansy liberals for that. i'm not a military brat but my dad was in the army and i might consider joining myself when i finish up high school and if he or i saw somebody holding a knife to or trying to rape someone whether it be girl or boy we would jump in and beat their ass.

[@arib8211]

aw, he's so sweet, i just wanna give him a hug

[@salinas31000]

Moving your body before even thinking is a essence of a true hero

[@gregoryhook7144]
