So it used to be you would have to do something courageous to be a hero. Now all you have to do is kill yourself and say it was because you were fighting for something? Wow, kids these days are just getting lazier and lazier.

"The boy’s family says he killed himself because he had been threatened with jail for walking out of school to protest proposed changes to immigration law."
- That makes sense, seeing as THOUSANDS walked out that same day, they were going to single him out and jail him.
"“He was just fighting for his rights,” Corales said at a Palm Sunday Mass. “He would be proud that we are here now to honor him because he is a hero.”"
- Honor him as a hero!? The kid killed himself, he didn't save kittens from the top floor of a burnig building.
This, to me,seems utterly ridiculous and shouldn't have any place in the news. THIS KID IS NOT A HERO, NO MATTER HOW YOU CUT IT! If he is going to be recognized as a hero, so should the kid that killed himself after listening to Judas Priest.
Comments are more than welcome. |
