The guy is a hero.....not many people would have rushed in. I did notice 2-3 other people standing near the vehicle with the guy, and it looks as if they would have gone in as well. They deserve some credit also.

My question, though, is who leaves their kid in a burning vehicle in the first place? They didn’t drag anybody else out, did they? Was the parent, or parents, or passengers hurt or trying to get the little girl out? It didn’t say.

hmmm looks like the little girl might be a “minority”...I’m surprised this “white guy” risked his life to save her! (sarcasm)
What would Obama have to say about this!

“My question, though, is who leaves their kid in a burning vehicle in the first place? They didn’t drag anybody else out, did they? Was the parent, or parents, or passengers hurt or trying to get the little girl out? It didn’t say.”

My thoughts too.

There was no blond (the mother) among those running away from the car; therefore, the child may have been with other people (cowards as they were). They left her to die.

The video shows the mother running away while the hero risk his life to save the girl. So much for mother instincts.

I don’t know but it appears the mother was wearing black pants. You could see some blond in hair. It may not have been the mother but it sure looks like her to me.

“The video shows the mother running away...”

Look carefully. There is no blond among those 3 cowards running for their lives.

You certainly could be right. We need a better image of this whole mess.

Yes, we had a hero and two backups to stayed by the car with him until the baby was out safely.

Many Americans, as an impulse, respect and love human life. I am so thankful for that.
